There’s a post going around here saying that bulldogs aren’t in the meat trade in China because they’re so expensive to breed and they don’t produce enough meat and that it’s racist to say that the dog rescues pulling the dogs are getting them from the Chinese dog meat trade?

I’m sorry but?? It does happen?? There is a dog meat trade in China??? There just is and you can’t just say there’s not? There’s dog meat trades in other countries as well?? Yeah, of course it’s racist to say that ALL Chinese people eat dogs, or even most, it’s racist to make jokes about it, and it’s racist to say that China is the only place where eating or abusing dogs happens.

But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen. There are so many people who rescue dogs there, most of them Chinese people!! They are fighting for animal welfare laws and animal rights in their country and it’s racist and ignorant of you to invalidate their struggle and pretend like it doesn’t happen. You can’t throw Chinese people under the bus for your stupid arguments while they’re out there fighting against VERY REAL things happening in their country. Same with bull fighting! People in Spain and Mexico fight against that shit and trying to act like doing anything other than protecting their tradition is racist is just idiotic. And denying it even exists? Delusional.

Yes bulldogs are expensive and they are hard to breed. Yes there are bulldogs on the meat trade. In fact, a LOT of dogs in the meat trade are bullies and pitties or mixes. A lot of them are mutts. A lot of them are designer dogs. There are so many rescue organizations dedicated to just rescuing bullies, or pitties, or chow chows, or what have you. Almost all of these dogs were taken from their families, which is not only devastating in itself, but they can’t do much about it because there are no laws protecting animals. Animals get beaten, poisoned, skinned alive, burned, and killed in the streets and no one can do anything about it, in fact police officers will either participate in this or protect the people doing it from people who try to stop them. Am I saying it happens often? Or only in China? Or EVERYWHERE in China? No. I’m not saying people run rampant in the streets kicking puppies. I’m not saying all people in China do this. It just does happen, and pretending it doesn’t isn’t going to solve anything.

You can pull out the facts and the statistics on how hard it is to breed a dog, etc. and how expensive it is to breed or take care of them (proving you most likely support the breeding industry and therefore supporting the euthanasia of billions of innocent and healthy/treatable animals every year), but the fact of the matter is, it still happens, despite all your numbers and shit. They can and will steal expensive dogs that people purchased for hundreds of dollars from breeders, I don’t care if the numbers of dogs in their possession is too staggering for you to believe. That’s just how it is. They have have cages and kennels packed to the brim with dogs waiting to be killed and skinned, warehouses full of dead or dying dogs, rotting away. It doesn’t matter to them. It doesn’t matter how much meat a certain dog produces. It still sells. People still eat it. Doesn’t stop people from eating squirrels or frogs or any other animal out there that hasn’t yet been genetically modified to produce more meat than it should. If it wasn’t happening, there wouldn’t be so many dogs in their possession?? Lol?? You’re trying to act like all the research and work done by rescue organizations and people trying to fight against this trade in their own country just doesn’t matter, doesn’t exist, or is incorrect? All the photo and video evidence, again, recorded by Chinese people, doesn’t exist or is fake?? I don’t understand. What are you trying to prove here. What are you trying to achieve?? You want people to stop rescuing animals? Stop donating to rescues? Why does it matter? Why do you even care? You’re just ignorant and fucking delusional and want to use Chinese people for your own gain, and that’s what’s fucking racist.
