I heard a rumor that the paratroopers here practice melee combat on live dogs (I guess captured strays), to get them used to the bloodiness of killing. Sometimes they cook and eat the dogs after they're done.
And this is just Taiwan. Imagine how badly animals are treated in China...
Of course, that's just the tip of the ice burg. There are other countries, Columbia, for example, that do far worse things to animals.

In the above video link, you'll actually see somebody put a live dog in the back of a garbage truck....
People are fucked up.
