840 cats had
been caught in Shanghai. They were delivering to Guangdong’s
restaurants
A truck was
kept by some animals’ protectors in Shanghai on 6th July, 07. 840
cats were found in this truck. They were kept in forty-two small
bamboo boxes. Some of them were dead and the others were dying of
hot weather, no food and water. They were delivering to Guangdong
and would be sold to local restaurants.
The
animals’ protectors from a website---bbs.movshow.com---called the police. The drivers showed a legal
health quarantine document, so the police said they could not
detain this truck for a long time. The drivers told the protectors
if they wanted these cats, they had to buy them, about $2 US
dollars each. And they also said everyday a truck full of cats,
like theirs, went to Guangdong. That means nearly 1,000 cats are
sold to restaurants. All these cats were dead on the way or dead on
dinner tables.
Cats and snakes soup is a
popular dish in Guangdong. The materials are lost and stray cats
and wild snakes. The animals’ protectors in Shanghai and Beijing
are trying to feed cats around city, desexing them and help them
being adopted for years. Until this morning, some cats had been
bought by these protectors. However, 840 is a big number.
Unfortunately, protectors had
been refused by local press. Protectors released widely this news
on internet and organized a donation for these poor cats. They hope
to get help from HongKong and oversea press.
