I don't think you would ever see anything along the lines of cutting a helpless screaming animal's throat infront of countless individuals in the U.S or Canada (me), even if it was a tradition of some form or another way back when, people now a days would be horrified and would bring a stop to it immediately. I don't understand these people. << These people being the groups involved, edited for Ameesh.

whatever, just because it doesnt conform to your set of ideals you think they are horrible. give me a fvckin break.

in actaullity amrican pig and cow farmers do similar things except they do it as efficently as possible taking time and cost of feed into account so they can maximize the aount of meat the get out of thier livestock.

The pigs are then penned down so they cannot move. It is claimed in the run-up to a contest, the animals are even force-fed sand or heavy metals such as lead to add as much weight as possible.

You're right, Ameesh, but force feeding an animal LEAD is wrong.

It doesn't matter what my ideals are, the bottom line is that this is horrible. I never said I agreed with the meat industry's practises.

I dont think one can judge other culture with different standards.

something we do might disgust them as much as this as well.

many pigs are killed that way every day in the U.S. (although not in front of crowds of people)

Sure I do, but its not infront of a group of cheering people! That is the difference, we are blind to it mostly.

This isn't a popular thing in Taiwan, just a small bunch of fvcked up people from the countryside doing it. Please don't make dumb generalizations on how this tiny group reflects the general populace of Taiwan. Afterall, there's quite a few strange groups here in the states also.

I did not make any generalization, I said I do not understand the group of people doing this.

And on that note, go read fast food nation: the darkside of the all american meal.

BTW - that force feeding and slaughtering of the pigs is pretty sick...

You don't seem to be able to get it through your head that I am not 'tearing apart' a culture or a background here. I realize that there are significant differences between cultures, and I am not ignorant to these differences. I AM NOT MAKING A GENERALIZATION BASED ON THIS ARTICLE

you passed judgement about the group of people who take part in this custom. at least be man enough to stand by what you said.

The ritual is disgusting. I am not saying the people themselves are horrible, I just do not understand how they find enjoyment in this.

Yes I'll be 'man' enough to stick by what I said on these manly forums, oh I'm sorry did I not look at your post count ? The fact that you are apposing my disgust with this custom is not surprising as you're probably trying to find something to do with yourself.

Nasty..

I don't approve of it but if it goes to the courts, it'll all boil down to human's rights to practice whatever religion they concoct vs. animal rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Why would this kind of behavior in the East surprise anyone? Has everyone forgotten (actually most just deny it ever happened) the way American POWs were treated by the Japanese, Koreans, and Vietnamese? So I guess since it is history the barbarism of these cultures is forgiven. Nothing that I read about that part of the world surprises me, it may disgust me but it never surprises me.
