25. I don't eat meat, ever, no exceptions.

And it's not just that they eat dogs, they TORTURE them first. Do you understand how sick that is? I have no sympathy about how long that SICK culture has existed. Cultures only change when enough people stand up and state NO MORE. I met activists in China when we were there who are trying to change the hideous culture of not just animal torture and extermination, but exploitation of humans, particularly children. Cultures change all the time and China needs to do something about abuses of animals, including humans.
