- It's possible for a video of cruelty to cats to become so popular that just searching for the word "cat" made it easy to discover.
- There's a sizable minority of people in the People's Republic of China that considers caring for animals "Elitist." Thankfully, about 80% of The PRC's population disagrees with them, but that 20% is enough for the CCP to not do much for animal welfare laws.
- Before we feel too superior to the people of the PRC, I should point out that, until 2018, 44 of the 50 States of America (except for Michigan, New York, California, Hawaii, Georgia, and Virginia) had zero laws against eating dogs and cats. I'm starting to suspect that the reason that the Trump campaigned so hard on linking Haitian refugees to eating dogs and cats is because the laws banning eating of dogs and cats are one of the few legitimately good things that Trump actually accomplished in his first term.
- Shit I should probably have known: The PRC reserves the right to arrest people just for making them look bad.
Eating dogs and cats doesn’t necessarily qualify as ‘animal cruelty’.
If it’s legal to eat cows, chickens, pigs, fish, sheep, rabbits, ducks, goats, and geese, why do cats and dogs get a pass?
