I haven't got an issue with PETA - I don't know enough about them.

My sole purpose in posting was to draw attention to the appalling cruelty inflicted upon animals in China. That's the central issue - not PETA.

lobsters are cooked alive too and how you call those little things ...schrimps? a lobster does make a sound when it get boiled alive, a kind of high sound thing, ofcourse i dont agree with what they doing, but lobster or cat, both alive cooking but both food for people........i dont know for real what to think about this.
