Finally, a use for cats I can support

[D1gger]

I have never been a pet person, and cats especially get on my nerves. You just never know when one will change from the gentle purring fur ball on your lap into a scratching, biting ball of fury.

BEIJING - A southern Chinese province must stop the "shameful" and "cruel slaughter" of cats for food, a group of more than 40 animal lovers in Beijing said Thursday as they unfurled banners in a tearful protest.

Link to MSNBC story.

The Chinese have found a great use for the excess cats in their neighborhoods. The only problem I have is they should come up with a more humane method.

Cats = cheap tasteful meat.

If the economy here gets any crappier, you'd better believe people here will start grilling up some catburgers.

You're doing it wrong.

That is, of course, unless you have a mouse problem and a "too much crop" problem. Then it's a perfect solution.

I'm a cat lover and I don't mind other people eating cats.

But, the methods mentioned is just fucked up and should be banned.

I guess you've only met psychotic cats. I have met cats like that, but the vast majority of cats are not like that at all.

I would never eat a cat and I condemn the practice personally and by anyone who is in this country.

That said, it is a different culture and a different country so I can see that they might have ways I don't agree with. If they're going to eat cats they should be required to kill them humanely.
