Cats saved from being eaten

O.K . I have Known for years that some people eat Cat , but this is hilarious ,they actually have people that Hunt cats and sell them for a little over 10 bucks ! Cat hunters ?

The Straits Times
SHANGHAI - ANIMAL activists in Shanghai rescued 300 cats from a dealer who had bought the allegedly stolen pets for sale to restaurants in southern China, state media reported on Monday.

The activists, acting on a tip from a cat lover, found 22 bamboo cages full of cats in a freight yard, from where they were to be shipped to Guangdong province, the Shanghai Daily reported.

Most of the animals were returned to their owners, but three cats were found dead and some had broken legs, the report said.
Restaurants pay about 50 yuan (S$10.60) a cat, according to the report.

Way to much for a cat !

'There is no law in China saying cats cannot be eaten,' police officer Ma Yong was quoted as saying. 'Cats are not a protected animal.' Mr Yang, who has traded cats for a decade, bought the animals from so-called hunters who trapped the cats in residential areas at night, the report said.
