the cows were harming no one. They at the very least deserve a painless as possible death.

Fine, but it means that your problem is not with Asians but the human race in general.
And, not that it would make any such generalisations okay either way, let's not forget that the foremost religions concerned with the welfare of animals are Asian�Sikhism, Buddhism and Hare Krishna-ism, just to name a few that come to mind. |
I can't speak about Sikhs and Hare Krisnass but I can about a lot of buddhists here in Thailand . There are at present
Maltreated sun bears in a Buddhist temple near the River Kwai
A temple that gets its money by "rehabilitating"tigers. The reality is they are captured as cubs.
Thousands of abandoned dogs that contain rabies, worms , mange that live off garbage in every major city. Thais never neuter dogs.
Fish farms at temples where the catfish are literally stacked on top of each other. Peasants pay the monks for food to feed them. Monks eat the fish
In every city that tourists go you can see small animals heavily drugged so the "owner" can get money for photos.
Elephants being beaten by handlers as babies and taught to paint etc.
There is a zoo near me that has elephants chained up and people, mostly Russians and Japanese, pay money for bananas to feed them. They are all standing and swaying, bored to insanity. Baby tigers and bears chained for photo opportunity. Crocodile shows.
The chickens and ducks seem the only free range creatures I can see save for an elephant reserve near the Cambodian border patrolled by soldiers. Oh and squirrels.
And in the north east they will eat everything.
Cruelty to animals is only ever prosecuted if committed by a foreigner or in the Thais are seen to lose face.
And don't get me started on the wildlife in Borneo. The biggest single donator to the rescue centre for bears in Kalimantan is the local AFL footy club. The asians don't seem to care.

^ Great post!!
I edited my original post as I posted in anger and when I re read this am I thought hmmmm bit colourful and a bit over the top!
But I feel passionately about the mistreatment of animals worldwide at the hands of humans and I especially detest the mistreatment for "photo ops" and nonsensical beliefs not by poor villagers who know no better but by educated Asians who see such things as rhino horn as a "status symbol"  and Asia seem to be particularly bad at this and uninformed Westerners don't give a rats as long as they get the photo!
it ain't that hard - don't pat lion clubs cause when they are too big to be patted they will be sold off for canned hunting ( and yes sometimes the temptation is great as they are so bloody cute) bears don't "dance" for photo ops in the wild and elephants don't paint and should not be chained or maltreated so tourists can have an elephant ride and orangutans are beautiful intelligent creatures who were not put on earth to entertain stupid humans.
And surely it is not too big a reach to expect that animals slaughtered to feed the ever expanding number of humans are not subjected to brutal and painful practices - there are more humane ways IF the society it is occurring in actually care!!!!
I wouldn't give the freeloading monks a red cent - in my experience they seem to have less concern for the animals than most and more interest in the cash than most

David, do enlighten yourself please. Gina (looks like she's been temporarily guzumped & didn't wait till the fat lady sang) has paid for Barnaby & others to go to a wedding in India so the Indian Coal mining sugar daddy would pay for mines in Australia & also be a conduit for her business interests in other areas of mining (of course that's when the price was north).
Barnaby's been doing her bidding for ages including well before the election: be it in climate change or other matters like mining. He's more partisan than well .....the partisans.
Now, the other part of your post is a making a huge assumption about Barnaby & thinking. More akin to an oxymoron really.

That makes more sense, WPT. Amazing the amount of corruption that occurs out in the open, apparently without consequence.

Well, you don't need to question us David as we in the conservative government know what's best for the economy & what's best for you. Trust us. Don't trouble yourself with FTA's we've worked it all out.
Now lets focus people's minds on well the death cult....
