  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.

Agreed, again its dog eat dog here, and ducks are pretty low in the food chain. 'This is china'!! no

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!!!

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
