Back when CV-19 had not yet hit the US, I was following what was happening in China. Lots of people were posting to twitter and tik tok the horror that was going on over there. I was watching their videos to see whether it posed a risk for the US and what might be coming here. Over the weeks I accidentally watched a video that showed a policeman chasing after a puppy who was cowering under a bush. He took his baton and killed it. I wanted to vomit. No one reacted nor stopped him.

Another video from China was titled, "See how the Chinese really are". I expected to see some heartwarming video, but instead saw a man cooking outside on a very large wok. My eyes saw it for about 4 seconds before I could comprehend what I was seeing and stop. The man was cooking a small dog alive on the hot wok. As the pup was yelping and trying to get out and he just kept hitting it with a big wooden spoon. I was so disturbed that I had to leave the area and go upstairs and lie down for a while. I still can't hardly believe it.

Then the videos of live animals in the wet market being prepared for the buyers while they watch. NSFW.

I just don't understand this kind of culture. I don't. I can't.
