Dar Dar was on evening duty yesterday till this morning... So Dad and I met up wif him for breakfast...

After breakfast... On the way to the carpark... I heard a kitten meowing... I followed the sound and found this little fella near the market in a box...

Poor little thing... Left in a box for dunno how long... Meow so loud but nobody care... There was one uncle... Sitting about one metre away from the box... Plucking veggies... Also dun care... Haiyo...

I asked him whether the kitten belonged to anybody... He said no... He also say (in chinese)... "This kitten very nice, bring home and look after lah"... Abit ironic rite...

But he was kind enough to give us a styrofoam box for the kitten cuz the box it was in is wet...

Dad then drove me, dar and the kitten to SPCA... It was sleeping soundly like a little angel... Cuddled up at the corner of the box... So sweet...

Reached SPCA... Approached the staff... She let us read a piece paper... Which says something like...

"Only 2 out of 10 animals there get adopted..."

"The surrendered animal might be put to sleep within 24 hours from the time it is surrendered..."

"Due to the big inflow of animals coming in... Not all will be put up for adoption and some might be put to sleep..."

Haiz... After reading all that... I was thinking to myself... Did I make a wrong decision of bringing it there? Feeling really bad rite now...

But if... I mean if... It really was put to sleep... Then it will go to a better place... Up there... A place much better than here...

But if it were to be adopted... I know it will go to a good family... A family tt will love it...

Began to tear in the car on the way home... Cannot stand myself... Wif the animal for only awhile also like tt... Haha...

To anybody reading this entry... If you are looking for a pet... Dun buy... Adopt... Give them a chance...

I have this sudden urge to blog about animal cruelty after watching the news report about the 'tattoo pig'...

I think humans are sick creatures (although i am also one myself) who bully other creatures who do not know how to defend themselves just because they can't talk.

If you feel disgusted after reading part of it... Please refrain from continuing in case you puke on your com...

I know this can be abit lengthy... But read these entries and be disgusted by your fellow humans...

The people from C_ _ _ _ are officially the sickest people I know (not all i mean)... Their attitudes suck in treating humans... So how well can they treat animals...

Its embarassing and digusting to know that I am partly from there... And i just heard the news that dog meat and rabbit meat are selling like hot cakes for 'nian huo' there... I'm fucking pissed now lah!!!

Foie Gras aka Goose Liver

To produce foie gras, birds are restrained and a metal pipe is shoved down their throats and into their stomachs. A massive quantity of corn is pressure-driven down the pipe, often causing a rupture of the bird's stomach or esophagus, leading to a very slow and agonizing death. The force-feeding takes place as many as 4–5 times a day for a month, causing the liver to become diseased and swell from 2–3 ounces to 1–2 pounds. At that point, the goose or duck is slaughtered and the fatty, cholesterol-laden liver is removed and sold as a delicacy.

This is true... Dun believe me...Check out the website... http://www.chai-online.org/en/compassion/foiegras/food_foiegras.htm

Monkey Brain

A gourmet can buy monkeys in the markets and send them to the inns for cooking. The cooks first force the monkeys in the cage to drink rice wine to make them drunk, then pull them out from the cage and bind their limbs ( to prevent them from awakening), then they chop open their skulls with a sharp knife, and then scoop out the white brains, the blood vessels still pulsing, easily visible. They serve the brain as soon as possible, and dig the brains out when they are still warm, eating them with some seasonings, such as pickled ginger, chili pepper, fried peanuts, cilantro and so on. The gourmet chews and swallows the brains and feels great, while the monkey kicks the bucket still drunk!

The cook at the inn said that the traditional way to eat monkey brains was to seal its mouth and tie it tightly under a special table, with a hole in the center, so that only the monkey's head peaked above. Then the monkey's hair was shaved, the skull was cut open, and the brains were eaten while it was still alive. Sometimes the monkey's mouth was not sealed tightly enough, resulting in miserable screams or moans from under the table.

After eating the brains, the cook then makes other dishes with the rest of the monkey. The paws and meat can be used as stock, or stewed in a soup with nutritional herbs and chicken.

Bear Bile

The bears live in cages little bigger than themselves for ease of "milking." Bile is extracted through a cut made in the bear's abdomen and into the gall bladder, where bile is stored after being secreted by the liver via the hepatic duct. A tube is inserted into this opening to tap the bile, or a steel stick is forced into the gall bladder with the bile then running down it into a basin. Between 10 and 20 ml of bile is tapped from each bear twice daily. The WSPA reports that, during milking, investigators saw bears moaning, banging their heads against their cages, and chewing their own paws. The mortality rate is between 50 and 60 percent. When the bears stop producing bile after a few years, they are usually killed for their meat, fur, paws and gall bladders. Bear paws are considered a delicacy.
