I’m vegan btw
I see nobody in the comments actually bothered reading the article. It’s not that cat meat is illegal, it’s that they were passing it off as pork and beef. Also some speculation that the cats might have been stolen

Almost has to be the case. There is a reason no one farms cats as meat, they are obligate carnivores that will eat more meat than they ever produce. It isn’t economical to produce cats for meat if you have to actually feed them. It only makes sense to “harvest” them wild on the streets or from kitten mills, shelters, vets, wherever you find spare cats in China.
Framing animals for meat only really makes sense if those animals eat lower on the food chain. Turning grass / grains into meat makes sense. Turning meat into meat doesn’t, especially since the cats would pretty much have to be eating more desirable meat that they produce. Imagine feeding pork, fish, and chicken to cats in order to make cat meat.
if they “rescued 1000 cats” from being sold as pork meat, that means at least 1,000,000 cats are sold as pork every day… this is just a little show for the newspapers…
so if you’re actually in China right now eating what you think is “pork”, Bon Appetit i guess

What kind of logic is that? Why stop at a million, why not a billion.
this is China… maybe you don’t understand how big China is, and how many people live there… how many servings of “pork” fried rice get served every day… or how their law enforcement works… only the crooks who don’t pay the cops enough get caught…
You’re telling a Chinese guy he doesn’t understand China. Nice mansplaining (racesplaining?).
I’m pointing out the ridiculousness of drawing assumptions and calculating frequency of events from a single incident. Yes, I’m sure it happens. How frequently it happens is harder to say. It’s as if somebody sneezed and you declared an epidemic is happening in your town. One data point is an anecdote, not data.
oh you’re Chinese, that explains it… hey do you know the Chinese Military’s primary capability in war? it’s the ability to send millions of men to die, and not care… the Russians use the same strategy, but they don’t have quite as many bodies to pile up…
Hello racist. Nice of you to introduce yourself. Now I can make note of you, and next time I see you, I’ll remember to ignore you
you go ahead and make your little computer do whatever makes you feel safer
Okie 🥰
