I don't like to see inhumane raising, transport and slaughtering practices and that's where they should make improvements, but I do take offense in westerners judging other cultures for their choice of food.

That article is written in a raging "animal rights" voice. You give those PETA / ALF nut jobs an inch, you soon will be finding yourself eating lentils. Horse slaughter already has been outlawed in most US states for example and hunting is under tremendous pressure from the same group of people. The average Joe reading such propaganda usually is in support, as they start "saving" the cute looking animals first ... Again, the focus needs to be on proper raising and treatment of the animals, not taking them off people's dinner plates.
