It’s very bad luck to be a black cat in Vietnam, where the poor animals are being killed and eaten amid rumors their ground-up bodies can treat the coronavirus, animal rights activists said. The No to Dog Meat charity said the black felines are boiled, skinned and cooked before being turned into paste and sold as medicine to fight COVID-19, according to South West News Service.

I knew a Vietnamese guy in college that was on one of the last helicopters out. He had lost of strange stories as a child. I recall for fun they used to catch rats, toss some gasoline on them, light them and then chase them. Yeah, I know they are rats - but still barbaric.
2021 Headline: “Mysterious Feline Flu erupts in Vietnam.”
F’n savages. Just like abortionists and their backers.
Bats cats and rats. Nice. My wife has a black cat. I don’t think I’ll tell her about this news item. She calls the cat babykins. I’ve got a lot of other names for it.
One weird kid in second grade even liked the taste of it.
Which is stronger: Cat pho or kung flu?
Some cats and rats and elephants, But mix it into goo,
It just can’t cure no Hunan Flu
You’re a poet and don’t know it.
Loved these as a kid.
It’s Wuhan ChiCom flu
Poetic license
In the Year of the Rat,
I caught a virus from a Bat,
And now I’ll get Fat,
Eating nothing but Cat.
Kids in the US do similarly barbaric things with toads and frogs and firecrackers.
When I was a kid I saw the older neighbor’s boys do that with toads they had found in our basement window well. I told my brothers I saw them peeking in my sister’s window [it was technically true since the toads were from her window well] and they went over to do an attitude adjustment - it worked, the neighbors’ kids never stole a toad again. ;-)
I own a black cat.
He is probably one of the cuddliest, purriest, shoulder-panthers that I’ve ever met.
There are few things in life, where one can utter the phrase “over my dead body” and be as serious as a heart attack, but messing with Hunter S. Tomcat is one of those.
A friend of mine who lived in Lebanon throughout the ‘80s told me that they ate cat as a treatment for asthma. Of course, they also thought it was chic to put ketchup on spaghetti, and that Popeye and Bluto were fighting over the spinach.
That kind of barbarism has to be taught. And it IS. Children see it from the day they are born.
Cruelty to animals is a first step. The level of cruelty worsens as children grow. I saw somewhere some young men torturing a kitten. They finally BOOTED it away. I hope it died quickly. They were all laughing.
This attitude is worldwide through every country, race, faith and culture. Learning begins at the home.
So Obamacare has finally reached Vietnam.
