The brutality and total disrespect for other living creatures revealed in this video must be condemned and punished as the serious criminal act it is. Individuals who can practice such cruelty, and communities and countries that allow such offensive, abnormal behavior are not only a pest to the tortured animals, but demoralize and corrupt their own culture and blemish and infest people in the states that trade products from such criminal conduct.
Cruelty to animals must be statutory equal to cruelty to man in all societies and punished equally severely. This equality has to be a fundamental principle in the constitution of all nations.
If we don’t honor this condition for civilized life, cruelty and destruction will continue until the end of man.
The European Academy of Sciences should ask EU to continue its pressure on China and other nations that lack cogently humane laws for treatment of domestic and wild animals and urge scientific societies worldwide to support and promote further implementation of laws that criminalize cruelty and misconduct and set up instructions and guidelines aimed at protecting domestic and wild animals in their own nation.
