China has a horrible record for animal abuse. So do a lot of other places, including us.

We are having some good results from just plain old keeping everyone's feet to the fire. There are more and more vegetarians all the time. When people really realize just how awful we treat the animals we eat they quit eating meat. And that's a very good thing.
