seem incredibly hypocritical. I often wonder if the poster of such a post eats pigs and chickens. No one who pays hard-earned money to support the torture and killing of pigs, cows, and chickens is in any position to criticize other countries for torturing and eating dogs, cats, or horses.

If you care about animals, first look at your own actions. Stop eating animals. Stop paying for their exploitation. You will find, after just a few weeks, that you feel more peaceful and in harmony with nature than you ever have. And you will know that no matter what horrible things may be happening out there, at least you are not a part of it.
