To the Japanese, animals are belongings, not living beings
Be warned, the above link has some very graphic and heart wrenching images.
I’ve said it a million times, I am disgusted by the treatment of animals in Japan and the idea that animals are just throw away belongings. I see it every single day and it disgusts me that a so-called “enlightened” race, with a culture supposedly built on Shintõ “respect for nature” and Buddhist “compassion for all living things” can treat animals so cruelly.
From the treatment of pets, to animals in crowded little concrete zoos, and the barbaric hunting of whales and fish in our oceans - the Japanese have no compassion for animal life.
