Pets in China

I rarely write about animals overseas. It is not that I do not care about those animals, simply I feel there are millions in the United States which need a voice before I go trying to save the rest of the world.
Because dogs and cats, considered by most Americans as companion animals, are eaten in many far eastern countries, I try to stay away from commenting on too many of these stories.
The Chinese have a growing middle class, unheard of several decades ago, and these activists are beginning to speak out about the inhumane treatment of dogs and cats in China. They can be jailed for protesting since the Chinese government does not tolerate dissention so this story from the Washington Post was a very interesting read.
