erasmus6: Killing or beating dogs are brutal, but I believe they are individual cases. When you hear a *** abuse case in a Catholic church, I don''t think you will think every Catholic church is ugly.

Brutal things happens everywhere in different forms. Even in this country it is not uncommon to hear dogs are abandoned by their owners, and dogs are killed in animal shelters.

China is BAD for the Olympics

GIVE CHINA RESPECT! LET THEM HOLD THE GAMES IN PEACE!

BUSH AND CHENEY AND THEIR ISRAELI NEOCONS SHOULD BE TRIED FOR WAR CRIMES FOR THE IRAQ WAR...

IF AMERICA COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE REPUBLICANS OUT OF MENS BATHROOM STALLS, OFF HOOKERS, OR LITTLE PAIGE BOYS LONG ENOUGH FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN WAR CRIMES TRIALS LONG AGO FOR IRAQ!

AMERICA STAND UP OR SHUT UP!

True, but is that because the Chinese government is more draconian, or possibly our police are more efficient, or their culture has honor in it that ours lacks. Several possibilities exist past these, but what would be the point you are making ?

I can agree with this whole heartedly, if you are talking about their government''s policies. From what I saw, they have a terrible polution problem. In Xian, Shangihai and Beijing - the air was unfit to breath. It has got to be the same as smoking !

First rule in Olympic Games success:
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Sadly, they chose to run the event in the cesspool known as ''''China'''' - bad decision from day one.

Yup, really bad decision in going with China to host the games. But, that was the decision of the IOC so I don''t have any sympathy for what they are going through now. My four-year old could have seen this coming.

erasmus6 - During my two week visit to China, not once did I see a dog get beat on the street. I saw several proud dog owners walking their dog too.

Please, don''t confuse the police state with the actual common people in China. Every day people in China are just like you and me. Friendly, helpful, and just human. The dog beating in Wenjou, was by police, and HORRIBLE.

I can''t speak to the situation on the pigs. But, would raw sewage fatten them, or kill them ?

What''s the big deal?
Adolf Hitler and his Nazis had the olympics in 1936 and China is not as bad as they were.

This is the time and place for the WORLD to show resistance. They need to be shown that they can''t get away with the things they are doing.

They need to be shown that we will not accept their mistreatment of people, animals and we will not accept their contaminated products.

Canada is now fining companies 1 million dollars if they bring in any contaminated products from China. Maybe this is what the U.S. should be doing.
