06/27/2008: "Chain of Chinese restaurants in Moscow sold mongrel dog meat as beef"
A chain of Chinese restaurants has been recently closed in Moscow. The restaurants were selling the meat of slaughtered mongrel dogs as beef. Eye-witnesses said that they saw employees of one of the restaurants in the back entrance carrying sacks with something moving and squeaking inside.
Psychologists acknowledge that it is hard to describe such people as adequate individuals. "When a person has a choice of either buying food at a grocery store or killing an animal for food and when he or she chooses the second option, it testifies to aggressive conduct. They used to eat dogs and cats during war times, when people had to do that to survive. Nowadays, such people need psychological help. A human being willing to slaughter a pet can vent their aggression on other people," a psychologist said.
Indeed, over 85 percent of serial killers, including cannibals, used to torture animals before they started killing people.
[ The only reason there aren't Chinese doing this is the west ( at least not to the same extent) is because we would catch and prosecute them more efficiently. Really it is wrong just because the meat is unhealthy and because it is theft of someone's pet. Interesting comment suggesting that there is something mentally ill about killing an animal for food when you could buy it ready-killed in the shop. In fact the ability to kill an animal for meat is a valuable skill - as well as a way to save money and avoid hormone-saturated meat. ]
