What has marked Chinese society is its level of cruelty, not just revolutions and wars. We ought to reject it totally, otherwise in another upheaval there will be further cruelty.

If anyone has seen the horrific and unwatchable footage of the Chinese cat and dog trade - animals skinned alive - then they could not possibly argue in favour of China as a caring nation. There are no animal protection laws in China and this results in the worst animal abuse and cruelty on the planet. It is indefensible.

China once again disgusts the world, portraying the image of a cruel, perverted people devoid of any feelings towards animals.

I think because of their terrible past, particularly this century, the Chinese have come to accept cruelty more than many other people, which is something I feel very unhappy about.

The Chinese use every spare bit of an animal: cow lungs, pig ears, chicken feet, duck blood.

We have abolished the death penalty for humans, so why should it continue for animals?

Putting our ecosystem in great peril is certainly not a part of Chinese culture that I know.

As long as man eats animals how can cruelty to animals be removed.

Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.

China is responsible for a lot of the major conservation issues we're facing. It's the main market for rhino horn. Tigers are being killed for tiger bone wine. They're driving the tropical timber trade and illegal logging in Indonesia, and the trade in tropical reef fish.
