Animal cruelty in the mainland pressPosted by Joel Martinsen, March 2, 2006 2:13 PM
![]() For those of you following the uproar currently surrounding a set of cat-crushing photos posted online, here's a rundown on how a few of China's newspapers are treating the story (note that following the links may expose you to unsavory images of animal cruelty): In Beijing:
In Shanghai:
And the wanted poster above, which calls for the woman to be beaten in the street or sent to a slaughterhouse, comes from a Southern Metropolis Daily article on the online response to the pictures. Other papers across the country picked up the Beijing Morning Post article, and it appears that most felt it appropriate to print the images carried in that article, although the final few bloody images are (thankfully) still too much for the print media. |

+ New Weekly: Do Chinese kids know anything about traditonal Chinese culture? (2004.06): Q: Do you know what China's four great inventions are? Paper, printing, the compass and gunpowder 49.3% know all four, 37.3% get one or more wrong, 13.3% don't know at all (2004.06.12) + The horrors of SMS messaging (2007.09): Naraka 19 (地狱第19层), based on the Cai Jun (蔡骏) novel, gets neutered by SARFT. + China's illegal yellow press (2005.05): On the left is the front page of 'Military News', a newspaper without masthead, contact phone number or any kind of publication licence (required by Chinese law). The paper was purchased on the Beijing subway for two yuan, which is relatively expensive, as most of the city's daily newspapers cost only half a yuan.

Comments on Animal cruelty in the mainland press
Crucify her.
if i meet any of them will do unto them what they have done to the animals,and on a happy note ill enjoy every last heart wrenching second of it
This is sick and disgusting. There is no reason for anyone in the right state of mind to be doing things like this. If I happen to come across this women I'm going to crush her head with a 10 pound axe.
this is the most offending thing i have ever seen, why would this be on the internet???? who in theyre right mind would do something like this... this woman should be put to death
This only goes to show how sick and twisted todays society is. I hate cats with a passion but would never ever consider ever doing anything like this. I don't hate anything that much. But hey, if this Asian lady is so set on torture, you think she'd mind if someone did that to her kid? You know, because torture is the latest craze apparently. And is this just an Asian culture type fascination or does stuff like this happen around the world? I don't want to be part of this world if it is and this bitch should be taken out of it.
mmmm shmush those pussies
Clearly, the likes of the slut must be seated upon a wel-measured spike and hammered down onto it. What vulgar disgusting sicklings those asians are!.. I exclude, of course, the few who beg to differ, to differ fundamentally. Curse those vulgar plebeians...
