@anon48648089 Anne, I think I understand your personal revulsion at the Chinese practice of hunting, slaughtering and eating creatures that would not be relished in the West, but unless you live in China you can scarcely be a reasonable judge of those that do those things, because you seem incapable of putting yourself in their shoes, of understanding their culture, of facing their hardships,of empathising with their wish to feed their families and see their children thrive.
If you have lived in the developing world, and in a huge country with logistic, communication, educational and administrative obstacles and impediments to overcome, you might take a different view, and IMO a more adult and constructive one.
There are huge areas of the world where there is a constant undersupply of protein, an essential growth and repair nutrient. No resources for the husbandry of livestock for food exist in many arid areas of the world, and even beans and pulses are hard to grow. People take protein where they can glean it, and they make whatever they can afford go a very long way. Milk is a luxury, and very few can afford to buy it or keep a milk-yielding animal.
Having lived for several years in Africa, I know how prevalent is protein-deficiency in young children, where one in every five die before the age of five from protein lack. Eating a meat meal in Africa is a very rare event. Insects and grubs are widely consumed when they are to be found, and only at certain short times in the year.
I expect, though I don’t know personally from direct experience, that Chinese rural folk are as careful of animal life as any people on earth, and more than most. They waste nothing and value traditional methods of conservation. I hope I am not wasting my time in bringing my thoughts to your notice.
Above all, I entreat you to moderate your language and examine your thoughts and emotions before condemning the Chinese people, or their political representatives, in ugly and demeaning terms. They are human beings, people like you, with the same hopes, fears, strengths and frailties as the rest of us. They do not deserve your contempt. You can do better than that, I think, I hope.
PS Even the coronavirus should escape our hatred. It is a life form, and acts on the primeval imperative in all life forms to reproduce and to survive. We provide the necessary medium for its self-propagation, and it no more or less selfish in that regard than we are, when we feast off living organisms of all genres. The Chinese did not inflict the virus on us, it found us by way of a natural process of adaptation to new circumstances. Like we did in “seeking pastures new”.
