Dog and cat meat eaters hit back at animal rights group adverts

A leading animal rights group has been forced to revise a provocative advertising campaign in northeast China following a public outcry.

Since September, Animals Asia has been urging people across the mainland to stop eating cats and dogs by using a head-turning poster series that shows the animals sandwiched between a pair of chopsticks.

The images are accompanied by a simple message: "Be healthy. Say NO to cat and dog meat."

The advertisements caused a considerable stir and the campaign was hailed as a success by the advocacy group after the images went viral.

However, the campaign faced a backlash in northeastern China, where locals defended their right to eat dog and cat meat as one of their traditions.

In Shenyang - where the consumption of dog meat is widespread - posters in the city's metro system had to be revised following complaints from commuters.

"They think we should not put up the advertisements because eating dogs is a so-called 'tradition,'" said Carrot Chen, Animals Asia cat and dog welfare deputy manager. "We want to spread the message that tradition is not an excuse for cruelty."

In the case of one set of posters, locals took exception to the use of the word baoan (security guard) to describe guard dogs, saying it was offensive to actual security guards.

"They couldn't find any real reason to complain, so they just used this word as an excuse," said Chen, rejecting the criticism of the campaign.

The consumption of dog meat is still common in parts of China, where some believe it has the power to ward off ghosts and disease. It is also believed by some to boost men's sexual performance and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat male impotence.

The southern city of Yulin in Guangxi province hosts an annual "Dog Meat Festival" to coincide with the summer solstice. To the chagrin of animal rights activists, revellers traditionally tuck in to the meat as the sun reaches its highest point in the sky.

A similar festival slated to be held in Zhejiang province in 2011 was cancelled following an online outcry.

"The truth is, if you eat dog or cat then you have no idea where that meat is coming from or how safe it is," said Irene Feng, Animals Asia dog and cat welfare director.

"Stray dogs and cats, many of them far from healthy, are snatched from the streets and pets are still being stolen and taken to horrific meat markets. We believe that, faced with this knowledge, most people would find such a meal entirely unappetising."

"They think we should not put up the advertisements because eating dogs is a so-called 'tradition,'" said Carrot Chen..... Originally Posted by Hottentot Venus

Btw if you eat meat then you swallow DUH she chews and spits but MITCHS wouldn't know that!!

I get it, starving people still eat whatever is available to them. Can't really fault them there. Those who use the excuse of "tradition" to use animal consumption to ward off evil spirits and disease? That sounds like something out of the Dark Ages. Third world countries and primitive belief systems. It appears Animals Asia has attempted to educate the masses but was met with the roadblock of ignorance. This is the other side of the world after all, they are experiencing the economic revolution we did back in the early 1900's. Telling them they are ignorant is not going to make them smarter. As you drive past a herd of cattle driving through the countryside, I doubt very much you consider that soon they'll be served up on dinner plates across America. The difference in cultures its that we view cats and dogs as pets and often family members. The real atrocity its in the inhumane treatment these animals are subjected to prior to bring served. The same treatment would be frowned upon if cattle were tortured before slaughter. But bringing about change is going to be gradual. Maybe this thread has brought this cause to the attention of some people that would ripple enough to have impact. Possibly more impact than just blacklisting a few Asians that probably would not be dropping Miss Jemma a PM in the first place.

You must have never been starving. Not hungry because of a religious fast or anything, but going to sleep hungry and knowing the pain in ur stomach will b worse when u wake up. When you argue with ur loved ones for the last of the leaves with salt. When ur so skinny ur boney prominences hurt just by touching them. When you have money to buy food, but their is none to buy.
Lets make sure we keep the distinction betwn eating dogs because ur hungry, and inthis festival s case. Torture andeating dogs for luxury. Originally Posted by SweetDulce

Why would there be more dogs than chickens or wild rabbits maybe??
A chicken or rabbit would be easier to raise/maintain being herbivores.

What would the dogs be eating?? Chickens and rabbits maybe??
Just trying to understand the logic here.

Sounds like some sort of urban legend, people eating dogs because they are
their only food source.

Can we close this thread already? Eating animals is not pleasant.

Racism is not the answer. Racism is never the answer.

You should read the journal of Lewis & Clark.
They traded with the Indians for dogs many times toward the end of their journey.
That is after they polished off the horses. Originally Posted by Slitlikr

You need to get a refund on your school for psychics loan.

And what is a real world life or death experience for an average American??

And where is this people eating dogs that are eating mice and insects
scenario playing out in the world?? Links please, and there should be
specific mention of people eating dogs that are eating mice and insects.

Who would be raising dogs and feeding them mice and insects??
And why wouldn't it be easier to raise a chicken and feed it some grain,
or a rabbit and feed it a little grass??

Don't get me wrong, I feel for these insane people whoever they are, raising
dogs feeding them mice and insects so they can eat them, especially when
they could raise a chicken for less cost.

But you know, the world is full of bad ideas.

What do they feed the mice and insects??
