Disclaimer : I am not promoting animal cruelty OR promoting meat eating.
I am NOT discriminating against anybody's belief. This is my blog,the title is stated as BLOG POST. You can eat or don't eat anything you want. It is also your freedom to stand up for, and to fight for causes you stand by.
This is also true for me, so do not penalize me because i think differently or have a different belief.

Do you eat
- Pork?
- Beef?
- Mutton?
- Lamb?
- Chicken?
- fish?
- prawns?
-

What about
- Quill?
- Pigeon?
- Turtle? (the small ones Chinese medical halls have)
- snake?
- scorpions?
- insects? (think exotic Taiwanese food)

Or
- rabbit meat?
- Dog Meat?
- what more is there? eating your own umbilical cord and what membrane there is left after childbirth?

I'm sure anyone who reads this will cringe at at least one on the list above.
But as yourself why. .
Why do u not cringe at chicken but do at the rabbit meat?
why do u hate people who eat dog meat but not those who eat pork?

Other than the reasons like
- the whole world is eating, its normal
- pork is a food meat, pigs are meant to be eaten.
- rabbits and dogs are supposed to be pets!

Below contains my own thoughts and beliefs. Do not read if you tend to over react.


Life isn't fair. No matter how we are disgusted by people who possibly hurt/kill a white tiger, Nobody will be sentenced to death if he killed one.
But not so, if it's the other way round. Read below.

A little bit about my Origin. I came from china. My family and I moved to Singapore when i was 6 years old. My brother, now 9 years old was born in Singapore.
Now Chinese people are notorious for eating some of the most unbelievable and unacceptable stuff, according to the rest of the world. So maybe that explains a bit of the content that follows now. Life back in china when i was little was very poor. Even with both parents working as professional architects we hardly earn enough. My parents couldn't afford to buy me new clothes so my mom makes almost everything I wore.
Now, We didn't starve or anything, life was just difficult. But everyone's life is difficult like that and we all lived. It is unbelievable and incomparable to the life my uncles and aunties live now in china because it is much better now. They can afford nice apartments, buy branded clothing etc etc. Whats the point of saying these?

DO u know that Dog meat is a Korean delicacy? It indeed, did not originate from the Chinese. Before you pass out.These are not the pet dogs who sleeps on your bed every night. They are a species of big "yellow dogs" (that's what they call them) breed and kept the same way pigs are in pig farms. Now people still are unable to accept this and insists that pigs and dogs are different , so dogs are not meant for eating.

Have you read the PETA.org's front page links?
"Animals are not ours to eat"

If you stand up to people who eat dog meat, why did you not stand up for people who eat MEAT, any meat in general? Why is it that nobody (correct me if i am wrong) is fighting for rights for Fish? Tuna? Sardine?
Do fish not feel pain just because we cannot hear them?Or do they REALLY not feel pain at all. According to scientific explanations, plants do not feel pain. Lets trust that 1000 years later they do not say other wise. Or else there will be nothing left for us to eat "right"

I love dogs, cats, rabbits and love to keep them as pets. But everyone in my house has nose allergy and cant take furry things. But you wont see me protesting naked for animal rights.
Neither will I give up my love of steak and pork dumplings after viewing disturbing videos. TRUE, yes they are true. And i hate those farm workers who hit and torture the animals as they like, even if they are meant for consumption. It just shows that those people are sick in the mind and feel imbalanced somehow, thus they need to vent it out. Unfortunate animals.

But hey, I am ashamed for speaking like that. Because I am not giving up my meat. I am not giving up fish, chicken, beef, pork because there are people somewhere in the world who feels like hitting the pigs in the farm. Aren't I, in a way encouraging them? If one day I really care so much about pigs and cows so much that I turn vegan, the I would hold my head up high and bash all those people, at least with my words.

Having said that, we are talking about Animal cruelty. NOT "cats,dogs,rabbit cruelty". Do not kill me for not taking meat eaters seriously when they cringe and criticize people who eat rabbits and dogs. Why do they do that? Sometimes i really wonder.
Is it because pigs , cows and chickens are not adorable or cute or furry like rabbits and dogs?
Is it because pigs are dirty and dogs can look at you with those puppy eyes?

I guess if we don't have total human equality, we cant have "animal equality" either isn't it. I would not say " we all are" , but I will say (IN MY OPINION), we are just victims of the rights and wrongs determined by the society for thinking like that. If one day I were to go strong against animal cruelty, I'll stand up for every chicken as I would for every cute house pets there are. Right now, I do feel I do not have the right to criticize.

My family don't cringe at eating rabbit, pigeon or even dog meat. I get many stares and unbelievable criticisms when I said I've tried dog meat before. Nope, i don't like it. The same way I don't like mutton and lamb. I don't eat because i don't like it. People keeps certain species of pigs as pets too, does that make u not want to eat pork (if u already do). I can keep one as pet and i will still be eating pork. I can keep a dog as pet, I can love my pet to bits, but I will not be staring and scolding my mom if she's eating dog meat at a restaurant.

Does this make sense? We think its ok to eat, because half the world is eating, We don'y think its ok to eat, because half the world is NOT eating. I may be wrong, at least it feels this way to me.
I can safely say that I feel more strongly towards animal cruelty than people who stick me down for even putting dog meat into my mouth. So what are we talking about here?
Strong animal right promoters would probably stick you down if u eat just chicken.

I don't see a SIGNIFICANT difference.
If we are to embrace natural beauty, and not to go for plastic surgery to get the desired beauty of this century. I guess I should succumb to the nasty stares my friends would give my family for eating dog meat. Probably 10000 years later, it would be a common sight. Or maybe by then, we would all be vegans.

The minority gets bashed, which ever topic or subject it may be.

now, pardon me for my 2cents worth, or however much you think these word are worth.


*side note*
if you think everyone or every product coming out of china is bad, it just shows how much your opinions are worth. I'm not speaking because my origins are there. It is because those are just narrow thoughts. You have the right to express that opinion, I have every right to oppose.
I do not want to offend anyone. China wins for the most number of badly produced goods with horrible ingredients. That doesn't mean other countries don't have such bad eggs, We just have to be vigilant over all. Even if a product is made in Europe are you sure none of the ingredients or packaging originated from china? I'm not scaring anyone. there is no home with not even 1 made in china product. But we don't get sick or terrified because we know what to look out for. And it is definitely not JUST the country of origin.
