And it's not like they don't have millennia of culture...admittedly, most of it derived from China. Ahem. (but yes, I see your point. Unfortunately, China is behind both Korea and Japan in terms of development). | ||

Most Canadian livestock is raised in the same way that most American livestock is: in factory settings on an industrial scale. This is atleast how they do it here in Alberta anyway, we've had rules in place about most livestock for years. Your average cow lives 10-15 years, all but about a 100 days in a pasture, the last 100 has them drugged up eating as much as possible. Here, read as much as you want: http://www.albertabeef.org/res/cp-RecCodeOfPracticeBeefCattle.pdf Due note that while it says "reccomended code" it is pretty well universally followed as the tax breaks you get for passing inspections is more than worth it from what I understand. Especially since the vast majority of Canadian farming in general is done by small family farms. It isn't like we don't have an excess of land available. | ||

Do we have reason to think that it works? - A causal mechanism that makes sense given what we currently know (i.e. current medical science) - Any good experimental evidence regarding its efficacy | ||

Studies "proving" the efficacy of acupuncture abound on the web. They're just often bunk. | ||

Oh I'm a vegetarian, and I definitely agree that there are plenty of hypocritical people arguing about this sort of thing to a certain degree. However in the end it isn't as comparable as you think, Having a life of torture and dying from disease, or just pain etc is hardly the same as living alive in a field for a long time then being slaughtered. Sure as a vegetarian I disagree with both but they definitely don't fall under the same umbrella. | ||

Human life is more precious than animal life, to say otherwise is lunacy. | ||

I've met people that argue just like that poster in real life, so as abstract as it may seem to most people that have any sympathy at all, its possible. so why not respond. Edit: Ok seeing his follow up post he's obviously trolling. Wasn't aware that was so acceptable at tl. the troll can laugh all he wants at his successful troll or whatever, I don't really care. The sad thing is that there are real people with that point of view. | ||

"However, it is believed more than 12,000 bile bears are kept on farms in China, Vietnam and South Korea for the purpose of harvesting ursodeoxycholic acid. Ursodeoxycholic acid is found in large quantities in bear bile." That's a lot of bears . . I wouldn't have guessed that it's happening in South Korea too. Poor bears  ... That said, I think people should realize it's not just China doing this. A lot of shit needs to change around the world. | ||
