Hard to beat Chinese businessmen for unethical behavior. Most of the dogs die within a week as well. They would be better off sold for meat, but there's not enough profit in that I guess. LINK: http://beijingtoday.com.cn/2009/04/peri ... ect-pooch/ Here's some salient quotes: "Another reason for the existence of the “week dog,” shopkeepers say, is that “since the dog may die right after you buy it, the seller expects you to return and buy another.” "Other breeds are put through a battery of full-body tabletop cosmetic surgeries. Some shave and stretch the skin of a Pekingese with iron wires to make it look like a Shar-Pei; others turn common white mutts into Dalmatian with industrial ink. Poodles and Pomeranians are dyed and trimmed." "They (dog sellers) buy animals with congenital diseases for next to nothing and pump them full of new blood laced with painkillers and stimulants to keep them bouncy,” Zhang says".

That's disturbing

Hahaha. Only the Chinese. Poor pups.
