Topic Reading-Vol.1537-6/26/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
China dog meat festival: Is it really so bad to eat dog?
What a feast. Many live dogs are slaughtered and eaten. This annual festival is NOT a traditional event in China. It only started only in 2009, though the dog-eating habit has been part of the cultures in some regions.
Is that a matter of what to kill and eat or how to slaughter? Dolphins and whales for Japanese. Rabbits and deer for French. Sheep for Mongolians and beef for Americans. In some religions like Judaism or Islam, how to slaughter livestock is clearly and strictly stated.
Is it a moral imperialism to tell others with different values what not to eat or how to kill?
See the video, read the text and think if you agree with either side of the argument.
