Netizens angry about cats on menu

GUANGZHOU: A media report that thousands of cats are transported daily from Jiangsu province to restaurants in Guangdong has aroused great attention among the public.

Guangzhou-based Southern Metropolis Daily reported yesterday that a cat trafficking group had shipped 1,500 cats from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, to Dongguan, Guangdong, which were then sold restaurants in the city.

The newspaper said the scheme began earlier this month and that thousands of cats were being moved by rail each day.
