Comments on Stopping Shanghai's animal OlympicsThank goodness someone is doing something. I first heard about the animal Olympics after watching a report on CCTV 9. I thought that CCTV 9's main goal was to promote China overseas. Obviously the people who run the channel have no idea about foreign attitudes to dressing up bears and forcing them to ride bikes into walls. I hope Annie Mather can take a look at Beijing Zoo while she's in China and try to save the dignity of that poor polar bear. from above post: "Obviously the people who run the channel have no idea about foreign attitudes..." Never a truer word spoken. It is unbelievable how far wide of the mark the CCTV9 producers get in this aspect. Shenzhen Safari Park also features these animal cruelty abominations...a "wedding ceremony" of "naive, funny" bears, and an elephant show which got its revenge this summer when a female tourist was badly injured and paralyzed in a charming gimmick where an audience member rides a baby elephant underneath the mother elephant. And the tiger's keeper will probably happily pull the animal's chain to induce a couple of roars - it makes for a more interesting photograph after all. If the Chinese Government doesn't care about humane treatment of animals maybe they could at least realize that this sort of cruelty gives their nation a bad image worldwide. It's disgusting. SO WHAT?PLEASE Never forget that it's the WESTERNER who create the word "CIRCUS".This so-called "cruel human treatments of animal " are all inventions of your ancestors.Why not destroy all the circuses in Europe and the U.S.A first before you guys start complaining about ours? |

+ A Joint Approach to History (2005.06): The joint Korean-Japanese-Chinese history textbook, 东亚三国的近现代史, published by Social Sciences Academic Press, is reviewed by Danwei. + People: Chen Daming, director (2004.06): Chen's own life story could be rich material for a feature film. After being rusticated from the Henan Opera School, he was forced to move away from Kaifeng to look for work. The Film Academy is the most prestigious film school in China, counting the directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige among its alumni, and competition for place to study there is fierce. Chen Daming came to Beijing for an audition, and was accepted after three auditions. + One Country, Two Versions (2005.02): CEPA eases co-productions between the mainland and Hong Kong, but does it undermine creativity?
