Chinese billionaire dies after eating poisoned cat stew: police
Money dispute led to killing, soup was laced with toxic herb Gelsemium elegans, authorities say

The cat got a Chinese tycoon’s tongue — and took the rest of him, too.

Billionaire Long Liyuan died after noshing on slow-boiled cat meat stew during a business lunch in the Guangdong province, where cooked kitty is a local delicacy, police said.

Long, who made his fortune hacking down forests and developing property, was noshing a local official named Huang Guang and a pal named Huang Wen on Dec. 23 when he suddenly felt dizzy and started getting sick.

The trio had partaken of pussy cat stew there before, but Wen told the local Communist Party rag that this time it tasted “more bitter” than usual.

Guang and Wen also were sickened, but not nearly as bad as 49-year-old Long, who had eaten with relish before keeling over and going into cardiac arrest.

Police at first arrested the restaurant owner on suspicion of serving unsanitary food, the Nanfang Daily reported.

But Long’s family smelled a rat and pressed the police to investigate deeper.

They also offered a $16,000 reward for information about Long’s death, local media reported.

Investigators soon discovered that the cat stew had been laced with a toxic herb called Gelsemium elegans, which is native to southeast Asia — and which has long been used by despondent peasants to commit suicide.

Then they discovered that Long and Huang Guang had been locked in a dispute over money — and had the official arrested for murder.

They said Huang Guang had tried to cover his tracks but eating just enough of the stew to get sick, but not enough to join Long in the grave.

should send this to peta. Have them demand a memorial for the cat. I am sure the Chinese government will agree.
 
Anyone else want to try cat meat?

Just proves what I always told my roommate in college.

You have to be careful which pussy you decide to eat because some of it might kill you.

The murderer eating some of the stew himself to throw off the police is pretty hardcore.

Just yesterday our local news reported the arrest of two teenagers who had been spray-painting houses in a vandalism spree that involved houses, cars and garages. They also spray-painted their own homes, thinking that would keep them from being suspects.

Didn't work.

Overreaction.

I own a cat, and I care about it very much. Nevertheless, I'd still eat a cat that I had no attachment to should someone cook it up and offer me some (not that I really see that happening). The point is, my owning and caring about a cat does not necessarily take cat off the menu anymore that my owning and caring about a chicken would take chicken off the menu.

Ultimately this means that I do not condemn anyone for eating cat. Now if someone ate my cat, I'd fuck them up.

This....^

I've eaten horse, mule, rabbit, deer, raccoon, moose, alligator, snake, and dog before. As well as the usual pig, fish, cow, and chicken. I've owned a horse, well family did, and plenty of dogs, and cats. Once it's dead though it's just meat at that point. Waste not want not!

But if anyone tries to eat my pets they are going to be in a world of hurt.

It does for me. And I grew up with friends who lived on farms, I spent time on the farm and around the chickens, cows, horses and I have no problem eating chickens or cow but I would NEVER eat cat... or dog for that matter.

That's not true... we eat some fungi that only grow in dark cold caves... Though the emphasis on the the bowl of cat soup is what carried the poison seems a little excessive.
