Zheng Xiaoyu (former head of the State Food and Drug Administration) was sentenced to death in May (2007) for taking bribes to approve an antibiotic blamed for at least 10 deaths and other substandard medicines. He was executed in July.

Well,either way he's dead and can't poison anyone else.

Oh, that is just so wrong.

I'm a FIRM believer in the death penalty.If a person takes a bribe to turn a blind eye that results in ten deaths,then the buck stops with him.If Chinese law says he must die for his crime,I concur.

I would picked Death Penalty rather than life in Jail.   I heard Chinese prison were 10 times worse than American jails.

There are no human rights in China. We treat livestock better, but not according to my vegetarian friends.

I saw a video showing how various livestock were raised. Not pretty.

only thing that could be worse about the prison system in china is that they have forced labor.u probably have to worry

more  about dropping the soap in the usa.i dont care what country i would be in,i would choose death over life in prison.

cannot and will not live my life caged up like an animal.

Vegetarians are the only protesters against cruel and inhumane treatment of livestock.  The HFA (Humane Farming Association) isn't against farming, just factory farming and animal abuse.  Treating animals well is also good for our health.  All those antibiotics and other chemicals they pump into those poor animals in those torture chambers & slaughterhouses is bad for the humans who eventually ingest them.

I hate to write this, because I am a big supporter of Human Rights, but maybe our prison system is too lenient?  It just seems to me that, since an awful lot of convicts re-offend, they obviously weren't scared enough the first time.  

There is no deterrent to a crime for which the person committing it "won't get caught".
