Posted January 28, 200718 yr http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/71/Tesco_eger_hungary.jpg Should Tesco sell live Turtles and frogs to boil alive in their new stores in China? Should they take a British stance to amimal rights over in that country or just operate as they do with Chinese ideas or retailing in their minds?
January 28, 200718 yr Author When you eat lobster isnt that cooked by being boiled alive? dont eat lobster. anti-tesco thread taken from report from yesterdays' newspaper
January 28, 200718 yr dont eat lobster. anti-tesco thread taken from report from yesterdays' newspaper tescos is good
January 28, 200718 yr tescos is good Do you have anything useful to contribute to the thread other than a simplistic black and white vision of the world? :rolleyes:
January 28, 200718 yr Do you have anything useful to contribute to the thread other than a simplistic black and white vision of the world? :rolleyes: yes. i think tescos is beter than the other shops
January 28, 200718 yr yes. i think tescos is beter than the other shops So just because it is more reliable or cheaper than other shops it means that they can do whatever they want? :rolleyes:
January 28, 200718 yr well it is a entirely different culture in China, didn't know about turtles being eaten though :blink: They would probably find the idea of having dead fish slapped out on display with buckets of ice strange. Putting it in a Western context no they shouldn't be selling livestock that are boiled alive. But people in this country are guilty of going to posh restaurants and picking out a lobster, do the animal rights get considered then?
January 28, 200718 yr But people in this country are guilty of going to posh restaurants and picking out a lobster, do the animal rights get considered then? Exactly. It's all wrong imo.
January 28, 200718 yr Who are we to impose our cultural beliefs / norms on other countires??? If TESCO want to function in the Chinese economy then they will have to adapt. Pet shops sell live bugs & mice to feed to snakes etc ... is it really so different? Edited January 28, 200718 yr by ICR
January 28, 200718 yr I think it is vile but like ICR said it is up to other countries to do what they see fit, there are probably Saudi Arabian message boards with threads on saying it is disgusting that pork is on sale in Tesco's in England, it is up to individual cultures to dictate what they eat not us

Morrissey has been quoted saying that China are the cruelest country towards animals with Canada close second
