I refer to the article which appeared in the Agenda section of the Sunday Morning Post, on November 28, headlined 'Killing time at cruelty park'.

I also happened to see CNN's television coverage of this disgusting spectacle which showed images of live farm animals mauled to death by tigers in front of an appreciative, cheering audience at a game park near Guilin in Guangxi, one of China's top tourist spots.

The 'entertainment' also features live chickens and ducks being dangled from fishing poles into pits of hungry tigers under the guise of 'wildness training'.

What was particularly disturbing about this show were the expressions captured on the faces of the cheering crowd by the video camera. Not only adults but young children were cheering and laughing at the pain and suffering inflicted on defenceless dumb animals during this barbaric process.

As horrific as these images were, they should come as no surprise.

China has one of the worst human rights records of any nation on earth.
