Are we really in a position to criticise China ?

I received a petition to sign regarding the following:


Whilst I agree that the footage of China's treatment of dogs is disturbing and I  appreciate being contacted about it. I have to ask the question:

Are we in Britain in a position to critise when we condone the treatment of hens in our chicken meat trade? How do we feel about shipping of live beef across Europe and into the UK? Could it be that we identify with dogs as being worthwhile whist hens and cattle are less so? Could it be that dogs are not regarded with such affection in China as here?

Your thoughts please. I find this a difficult one to answer.Is it that humans by nature are basically blinkered and selfish?
