I have recently seen a lot of satires on Chinese Twitter, quite hilarious. There have been activists in the past tweeting about dog carrying trucks when spotting them on the highway. Few of them actually followed these livestock trucks and ended up stopping it and rescuing the dogs. Now the satirical netizens tweet in similar fashion when they see livestock trucks hauling pigs and chickens on the highway. Like those activists, they urge people to stop the trucks in order to save the pigs and chickens. Quite hilarious to read those mocking tweets.

Update to the previous post.

Now the mocking got even better/worse, now people even urge others to rescue the tomatoes and carrots from the trucks.

This slaughterhouse is raising a big stink as the owners fight an order to shut it down, accusing the city of discriminating against Asian culture.

Officials in Rosemead want to shut down a slaughterhouse on Garvey Avenue, but the owners are fighting back with a federal lawsuit that accuses city officials of racial and religious dscrimination.

For two decades, Chinese American Live Poultry has sold freshly killed birds you can grab by the feet and look in the eye. Located on an industrial corridor where the traffic is thick and the strip malls are tired, the storefront serves hundreds of customers a day.

Local officials say the slaughterhouse has no place in a city that bills itself as "Today's Small Town America," citing offensive odors, traffic congestion and escaped chickens.

But owners Quan and Dana Phu, who have filed a suit in federal court, say closing their shop deprives the community of an essential service. Fresh poultry with the head and feet intact holds special meaning for many Asians, who use the whole birds for family meals, and Buddhists, who use them as offerings to ancestors when praying, the lawsuit says.

The dispute highlights the San Gabriel Valley city's struggle to reconcile its vision of the future with a dramatic ethnic shift. In the last decade, an influx of Chinese and Vietnamese immigrants has made the middle-class bedroom community of 54,000 more than 60% Asian.

When I go into San Francisco's Chinatown I find produce and meat a lot better quality and bigger than in the supermarkets. I go to this old store in a building probably at least fifty years old and get some Chinese fried chicken that's twice the size of the pieces from Kentucky Fried Chicken and it's less expensive.

This is just bad. For crying out loud, it's poultry!!! IF they want to close it down simply because it's causing traffic congestion, they should ban all football games... This has discrimination written all over it.

What I want to know who did all the complaining and are the complaints valid enough to warrant a shut down? It seems to me the article didn't state the store for any health violations or anything. Live chickens are a part of our diet, any fool would agree on the health benefits as compare to the mega industrialized preservative added, machine fed chickens.

2 points on this story.

1) No way would any such action be taken against a Kosher or Halal butchers, so it does look highly suspect.

2) If Asians now are 60% of the population, use the ballot box and vote in your own representatives.
