The Tragedy: Innocent Animal Lives Destroyed

cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/9437024

The point is that due to not having an overarching law on animal cruelty, prosecution of even egregious acts of cruelty against domestic animals is limited in China. I would like to know more about the history behind this and contemporary attempts to create such a law. Like other highly industrialized and consumerized countries, you see for instance ‘pig skyscrapers’ (Chinese version of CAFOs).

As well as mention this recent petition. It’s a petition, meaningless outside of larger activism. I heard about it through a post by Curtis Sliwa, who was doing that sort of activism and not in a regime change-y way which is respectable. But petitions usually get you into the NGO world, leading to lines like

To International Brands: Many global corporations rely on supply chains and manufacturers based in the Jieyang region. We demand that these brands launch immediate ethical audits and halt partnerships with suppliers in regions that tolerate extreme violence and animal abuse. Blood must not taint global supply chains.

    The change.org petition starts with an despicable isolated case of violence against puppies for dramatic effect, then goes on to call for corporate boycott of Chinese suppliers of animal products.

    I agree with implementing plans for overarching reform and/or abolition of the animal industry, but applying this exclusively to China is simply anti-China efforts. Mass farming, by far the largest issue (as the change.org petition itself recognizes), is ignored everywhere else.
