I have no idea what Elvis would think. I'm really not sure about the holding dead dogs either, however I will always support those who use their time (and in this case their popularity) to support charitable causes, especially when it supports animals who unable to control the cruel acts that humans inflict upon them.

Kinda weird to get upset about protesters, when the actually problem (toturing dogs) is the main case. Maybe get upset about that?

This is where I do get a little itchy though. If we are to understand that hanging dogs on meat hooks (as in the pictures Kim was holding) and then consuming them amounts to torture, then why are we not accusing the meat industry as a whole of torture. After all, is there any difference between a dog hung on a meat hook ready for consumption and a pig?

Don't know--ask 'em in China.

Thank you. I'm saying this all the time. Part of my comedy bit so far as well. (*different words same theme)

* if their culture eats dogs they eat dogs. What makes dogs more special?

I very much would like to ask China why they continue to support the killing of endangered species for food and medicine - things like tiger penis, rhino horn etc... I am honestly not interested in them, or any other country, killing dogs, hanging them on meat hooks, and consuming them.

As 2045Radical says, if that is their culture then why are we protesting about the 'torture' and consumption of one non-endangered animal, whilst we ourselves tuck into the meat another non-endangered animal? It just doesn't make sense to me. If we want, we can say the whole meat industry involves the torture of animals (as I would), but we can't be hypocrites just because of the type of animal that is being killed and eaten. Why should dogs be any more special than anything else?

There is no difference. But protesting against one problem doesn't mean you agree with another.

A lot of people accuse the western meat industry of toture too.

I'm more amazed why people ask questions about the protesters than the main problem. It's like saying, so you are protesting against animal abuse, but why not against child abuse?

People try to make a difference.

You can not protest against all problems at once.

Agreed.

i agree too.

my issue would be with people who are outraged by dog eating, but don't scrutinize where their own food comes from. there's a huge contradiction there, i believe.

i certainly agree with your earlier comments about the meat industry.
