  • I do agree that activism is required here and it maybe China is really stuck at progressing here as activism is basically illegal. The one case of animals activism that I know (posted in another comment) is zoo employees rising up against awful zoo conditions and animal torture and anti shark fin soup lead by Yao Ming and some other pop stars.

    Animal activism just doesn’t really exist in China and it really might be the only way to progress this medium.

    I’m honestly quite disappointed in Buddhism here. Chinese follow Mahayana branch of Buddhism (same as Japan, Vietnam etc.) Which aims to “help all beings to achieve buddhism” and yet animal rights are non existant and they perform all these rituals of releasing a fish or smt but never do any real action. Just shows how deeply rooted this issue is.





  • Nah Chinese culture is very well known for this. Have you been living under a rock?

    Chinese treatment of animals is beyond anything else I’ve ever seen. There’s just fundamental lack of education and respect for non-human creatures. It’s trully something else and I’m not being xenophobic here as it’s an objective truth.

    Even for a country with strong Buddhist and taoist presence it’s almost impossible to find vegetarian food unless you go to "sùshí restaurants (special vegetarian restaurants near temples) and outside if that you’ll get straight up mocked for eating vegan.

    Seriously, my least favorite thing about China. Even worse than whole censorship thing. It’s just so incredibly disrespectful to our fellow creatures to the point where it feels intentionally cruel.
