Cat
Meat (cat as a food)
Cat meat is
considered a
delicacy in southern China and cats are sold live to markets where they
are slaughtered fresh for customers.
[Smith,
1983]
"One
evening several friends went out to a local Chinese restaurant for
a celebratory meal. Half way through the meal one of the party suddenly
started to cough and choke. Thoroughly alarmed they rushed her to
hospital and she had to undergo minor surgery to remove a small bone
stuck in her throat.
The
surgeon who removed the bone was somewhat perplexed as he did not
recognise the type of bone found. He therefore sent it off for analysis
and the report came back saying that it was a rat bone.
The
public health department immediately visited the restaurant to
inspect the kitchens and in the fridge they found numerous tins of cat
food, half an Alsatian dog and several rats all waiting to be served
up."
