Thanks so much.
You said, “*If* this is indeed a small sea change in the general psyche of the Chinese people, there may come a day when the mistreatment of their animals spills over into addressing the mistreatment of their people.”
I had not thought of that perspective. I hope and pray with you also that it is true!
I’m always looking at what might be lurking between the lines.
I’ll admit it’s a bass-ackward approach but if it pans out for more humane treatment of their people, I’ll take it however it comes.
It’s a fact that you can judge a society’s treatment of people based upon their treatment of animals so perhaps the tides are slowly turning.
Hope springs eternal.
