你这句话很经典啊！ 狗咬人，算不上新闻。人咬狗才算得上啦！

I just signed up for ChinesePod Guided Subscriptioni and this is the first Podcast I see!

The introduction is very disturbing and I am sad to see it up here.

Seeing photos of dogs in cages like this is not a joke but a huge abuse of animal rights.

Perhaps others feel differently but in my mind this practice is something people should be ashamed, not encouraged to par-take in.

Having said that, this is a practice that we all know goes on in China and other countries, and we perhaps should be better acquainted about it - in a more sensitive way though.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. As a vegetarian, I share your concerns. Let me explain our thinking on this.

Seeing photos of dogs in cages like this is not a joke but a huge abuse of animal rights.

Actually, it is putting the dogs in cages that is an abuse of animal rights. Shocking photos and frank discussion help people to examine their beliefs and practices.

Like it or not (and many people do not), dog-farming is common in China. Whenever CPod discusses controversial topics, we do it in the spirit of exposing our listeners to important aspects of Chinese culture and life. These are lessons you will not get in any textbook, but they are essential for a complete understanding of this complex country.
