Communist China is just plain brutal and sick.

Two epidemic-prevention workers killed a dog and the whole country is brutal and sick? Huh?

A country is best judged by the way it treats its animals.
I think many in China are outraged givin the attention this has.
And yea, Communist China is severely brutal with animals.
If that's the case then every country has been brutal and sick in my opinion. Just go to any factory farm, or anywhere where people hunt for sport, etc. It's amazing to me that people who are typically fine with brutal treatment of animals (not you necessarily, maybe you are consistent, I'd think you were as a Buddhist) bat an eye when one single dog is beaten.
In this country freedom is all about we can do anything to animals we want to because the government is evil and stops people from doing what God wants them to do - be cruel to animals.
The only difference is that in China the government is doing it while here it's free enterprise cruelty.

I'm more concerned with how they treat their people.
Plenty to hate there.

True.

I'm against excessive brutality . This was a pet owned by a family. It wasn't raised to be eaten.
This was clearly a sport killing and is a reason why it got the attention it did.
I'm not against killing for food, but against methodology that isn't nessesary when more humane means are employable.

Not all factory farms are equal. There are engineers like temple grandin who severely minimized animal stress. Also, I tend to think that in many older nature based religions, killing an animal to eat it was far more of a sacred act, making it an obligation to weep and pray to the spirit of the animal you harvest. Our combination of variable secular indifference, and people oriented religion, may allow more indifference

Just what has been going on there with the Uighurs?
An anti-free enterprise tirade, eh.
Oh, you socialists.
I'm surprised that you're unaware of limitations
here regarding treatment of animals.
In additional to national regulation...
Animal Welfare Act | Animal Welfare Information Center | NAL | USDA
....states also regulate treatment.
Sure. But I can tell you that those laws are rarely enforced.
We Never Know
No Slack
Here in the states some people see it bad to raise hogs, chickens, beef, turkey, etc only to slaughter them for food.
Eat a cow and its great steak and hamburger.
Eat a horse and its taboo.
We value some while not others.
On what basis?
Because your statement conflicts
greatly with regulation where I live.
Well, they torture to death and eat dogs in parts of China in festivals so this is nothing when it comes to them.
The point is regulation is one thing - enforcement is another and good behavior is something else again.
You've contradicted yourself. The dog's owner, a person living in China like the two workers, doesn't appear to have treated the dog brutally. By your reasoning, then China is a caring and loving country, the opposite of what you said since the owner didn't kill the dog and has actually provided food and shelter for the dog. You have just demonstrated that you are suffering from cognitive dissonance.
And if you're going to argue that the owner doesn't work for the government, the ones beating the dog does, then you would have to explain why your argument and reasoning regarding China, why those two workers were fired after learning of what happened. And evidence is needed if your reason that the workers was only fired was due to the appeasement of the population.
How and/or what is the difference between sport killing for food and simply just killing for food?
I sense exaggeration.
You aren't claiming that enforcement doesn't exist here, are you?
In my area it's taken very seriously.
But perhaps CA is rife with illegality regarding animal welfare.

Nations of animal lovers (UK in this instance) perhaps should look to their own concerns rather than pointing out the faults in others:
