But as such a (admittedly disgusting) practice goes on in China, but not in the UK, what are we meant to do about it?.
So newspapers should only report on UK stories because there is nothing we can do about bad things happening abroad?!
Who is asking you to do anything? Did the Daily Mail say that when they wrote this article? Did i say that something must be done in my OP?
This is from a newspaper... granted the DM don't often report newsworthy stories but its to inform the people. They aren't asking for action!!
You must really hate looking at newspapers, looking at every story in the World News section saying to yourself, BUT WHAT ARE WE MEANT TO DO ABOUT IT!?
There was nothing fake about that. I saw the pictures, and interviews :eek:
It was from a concept art project and has been proved to be fake, as I found out on the first page of results on Google. No offence but do you believe there are such things as Bonzai Kittens too?

How on Earth did you get all that from what I said?.
I asked what we are meant to do about it, other than be outraged at it. I thought it a valid question, just what would you like us to do about it?. You seem to be more outraged at what I posted than what is reported. Why not actually do something, write to the Prime Minister, or even better, the Chinese Embassy in London about it.
Point out where I said newspapers should only report from the UK.

I didn't realise posting a link to an interesting [albeit horrible] article in a newspaper would constitute starting a moral crusade. :rolleyes:
I don't know, do what you like about it! Or don't do anything about it. The daily mail isnt calling for action, it's being outraged, that's what it does, it's giving you some information to do with as you wish.
Here's a suggestion, write to Dave Cam about how bad it is, see what he thinks, ask him what we should do. Here's another suggestion: read it and think, 'urgh gross, never knew that was happening in China / South Korea.' Maybe do that instead. ok, problem solved. :rolleyes:
I suppose it could be argued that exposing stuff like this (assuming it's real) could help end it.
I mean, I wonder if anybody would actually stand up and say "Yeah, I take baby-pills cos it helps with my blood pressure" or whatever?
One would hope so.
There's various clinics set up that offer "alternative" chinese medicine. It can only be good that stuff like this is exposed to the general public.
Not sure why people have got such a downer on the OP.
There's been stories before now about the use of endangered species in chinese and other medicines, tiger bones, rhino horns ect.

I think the reason someone was having a go at the OP, is its one of those things that shocks you to the core but there is nothing you can do and feel powerless ... bit like if you were in a aeroplane taking off, looking down at the coast line and see a shark going after a child.
There is nothing you can do and you just wish you had not looked out the window.
I've always found it odd that Chinese people believe in such peculiar things: so-called aphrodisiacs, ghosts, dodgy medicines.
They seem to be incredibly superstitious. Maybe that's why they are so fond of gambling.

I just thought it was an article that needed to be shared, if only for the OMG factor!
It was from a concept art project and has been proved to be fake, as I found out on the first page of results on Google. No offence but do you believe there are such things as Bonzai Kittens too?
They sure like their disturbing art projects.
Sorry but I do believe that was a true story and sadly this one probably is too.

Yes it was definitely the government and not a few very sick individuals, if it happened at all which it probably didn't. :rolleyes:

What a moronic statement. I guess it's probably not true because the bbc posted the article either.
