[history]
Around 600 cats stuffed into wooden crates and destined for dinner plates in southern China were rescued by animal protection volunteers after a truck crash, a volunteer said on Thursday.
Volunteers hauled the felines from the lorry on Monday after the accident in the central city of Changsha, said Xu Chenxin of the Changsha Small Animal Protection Association. About another 100 were already dead.

Exactly my thought as well. Me dictating what someone else eats in a different culture is hypocritical considering what Jews and Islamists think of my bacon and Hindus think of my burgers. Screw them I still eat what I want anyway so why shouldn’t Chinese enjoy cat?

Eat too much cat and run the risk of Cat Scratch Fever.

The real news in this story is that there actually are Chinese who care.
I had no idea.
To: Twotone
That is a different subject, but I think we both agree completely on it. I believe how someone treats any living creature below them is the true judge of their character. I kill, quite often actually, but I never let anything suffer abuse up to the deed and I do it as quick and clean as I can.

The real news is that many of these adopted cats will be fattened up and end up on the dinner table anyway.

I am sure it isn't allowed but it does happen..I was visiting in Venice Florida a while ago i read and article about this restaurant being closed because the health department found cat and dog meat being served.. someone working there reported the idiots,so you see you will never know unless the health department steps in..
My family and myself lived in Korea for two years and when I went there I never knew that went on..Until one evening we were out with friends and the subject came up..I nearly threw up and never ate a thing outside my home again..We lived on Embassy post..

I seriously don't care if they want to eat cats...I couldn't do it...
but what I find disturbing is that we have groups over there saving cats....yet where are the groups to save the little girl babies?.....this is paganism when animals are valued more than humans.....worship of false gods...

Back in the day,when I was a young American Bluejacket,I had occasion to be given an informal tour of a restaurant kitchen in the legendary port city of Olongapo in the P.I.
I had inquired of the waitress what kind of meat was in the Pancit Bihon I had eaten.I thought it was pork and conmsidered it very flavorful and tender.My waitress said it was dog,(with a big smile on her face),but I figured she was kidding and told her so.She told me to wait a minute and went off through the swinging doors to the kitchen.
Within a minute or so she opened a door and beckoned to me to come into the kitchen...luckily I remembered that the Filipino "Come here" sign looks a lot like the US "bye,bye" sign.
Anyway I followed her into the kitchen where one of the cooks showed how he prepared all the little puppy dogs that were hanging on hooks over the stove.
It obviously was an equal opportunity kitchen because there were cats being prepared also,for the Shanghai Lumpia I was told.
I was also informed that the rule of thumb was "New dog,old cat.",because old dogs were too tough and stringy,while new cats were too pungent and gamy.
I haven't been to Olongapo in many,many years,but if the B-29 Restaurant is still there you can check it out for yourself...it's the building with the nose section of a B-29 sticking out of the second story.

Agreed. If that was the metric, there’d be a lot of soylent green floating around.

I've heard from Chinese folks that cat meat is really sweet and some who move here miss it
from their original upbringing. I can relate because I miss the Rainbow Trout I
used to catch when we were kids. We were military poor and Ma would send me
down to the creek to catch breakfast or dinner when meat wasn't an option.

They do the same here,you just don't know it.There was a story posted here a while back on this very topic. They go out and gather up road kill deer and haul them back to their restaurants.
