webfact Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Vietnam police arrest cat-stealing gang after locals' tip-offHANOI: -- Police in central Vietnam have arrested six men on suspicion of stealing as many as 4,000 cats over two years to sell for their meat, police said Friday.The gang stole between four and six cats each night for two years, police in Vinh City said. They sold 1 kilogram of cat for 3 dollars, and used the money to play online games, police said.Although dog thefts are common in Vietnam, this is the first time a group of people have been arrested for stealing such a large number of cats.The head of the gang, 26-year-old Nguyen Duc Dung, told police they caught the animals by baiting traps with pieces of fish and leaving them outside homes where they knew people kept cats.-- The Nation 2013-07-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Go to Vietnam with your eyes open .... not listening to only the propaganda. Yes, things in Vietnam are changing rapidly, but there are still many hungry people .... especially in rural areas. Cats are a luxury, many people just can't afford to feed them. So trapping and killing a cat to sell is worthwhile ... especially if your hungry and need food yourself. But, in my opinion, I would believe this story about Dog meat rather than Cat meat. Dog's are more of a luxury than Cat's in Vietnam .... Cat;s at least have the virtue of eating rats ... Dogs don't. So if you are hungry, and want a Dog or Cat to sell for food, the Dog is your first choice usually. Also, Cat meat is often stringy, Dog is better meat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
