Normally I am a big fan of Chappatte and his cartoons in the IHT. But I doubt he “saw” a dog being butchered on a Beijing street corner, ready for the kitchen. Being here since 1980 I have never seen anything like that in the city. One more typical example of media bias? Or should I buy a new pair of glasses? What I usually see is Chinese people walking and pampering their dogs on the streets. If he has a picture and details we could file a police complaint or pass it to the local media.

here the cartoon in the 28 October edition with the “dog ready for a dish”…
My letter “to the Editor” was not published, either not important or… because it was in the middle of the U.S. elections…
