I know this story is about a dog, but since China has virtually no labor laws and is one of the worst countries pertaining to Human Rights, you can only imagine how poorly paid and mistreated the Coal Miners are who work for this gluttonous "Coal Baron". I like animals but they should never live better than humans (unless you're a sicko or a violent criminal, then you should be treated worse). Ironically, the same "warm and friendly" dog lovers are also the same Environmentalists who would fight against a coal company, which in China can only be expending huge amounts of pollution compared to those in the US that are regulated to death. Heck, even Obama said he would "bankrupt" the coal companies if they didn't comply with his business killing standards set forth by his environmentalist base, but I guess it's alright for a Chinese Coal Baron to destroy the environment and make as much money as possible so he can buy a dog for a $Million. Don't report about that or the underage sex slave industry that is all but accepted in China. Apparently hypocrisy has no boundaries, but then again the dog is really cute so I guess that means it's OK.

This is not about coal politics. I doubt this coal baron cares about anything but getting rich. It disturbs me that anyone would purchase an animal as a status symbol. This Tibetan Mastiff is a beautiful dog, but you have to wonder how much he will be loved, rather than just being used for breeding. Believe me, the Chinese wouldn't lift a finger to help Tibet, especially a wealthy coal baron. There is no evidence that those in power in China care about people at all except to be exploited. If they don't care about people, why would they care about the environment? Frankly, it disturbs me that someone would pay this much for a pup when there are people in China breaking their backs to subsist and there are probably lots of dogs who are homeless and starving. On a more humorous note, while this dog is fabulous, the food bill alone when he reaches 280 lbs.....omigosh! But wouldn't you want to cuddle with him? He's fur is so luxuriant?
