  That's got to be about the most unusual question i've seen on this forum. But yes, I think it's perfectly acceptable for your child to kick the duck you are going to eat for dinner, down the street like it was a football. This duck 'is' dead, right?

Haha, cheers mArtiAn, I'm aiming to ask the most obscure questions about 'life as we know it' in China. And no, the duck wasn't dead!

  Haha, noooo, that's awwful, poor little f**ker. You should've booted the kid and seen how 'he' liked it.

  There's a fella on my street who has a 'pet' duck he walks every night. Really. The duck's not on a lead or anything, but the guy just strolls along and the duck strolls along with him. Biiiizarrrre.

No, thats called animal abuse. Animals think and have emotions, they do feel pain.

Of course not. Seems like animal abuse is a common factor in this country.  :(

when I used to bring home live crab from the west coast of Vancouver island, we would turn them loose, on the floor at home, and my 5 year old son chased them around and whacked them a little with a broom handle, before they were thrown into the boiling pot...seemed like the kid was having a good time, at the time!!!
