Protest in China Closes Cat Meat Restaurant

Ugh.

Eating The Cheshire Cat: A Novel

Protest in China closes cat meat restaurant - Slashfood: In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, a group of approximately 40 demonstrators gathered to protest the sale of cat meat at the Fangji Cat Meatball restaurant.

It's hard to believe that such a thing exists, I know, and easy to judge the people who might eat cat meat. But please also remember that there are plenty of people even here who would consider eating cattle, lamb, pork, etc. Don't get me wrong. I consider eating cats barbaric too. But if we begin a discussion without compassion, we hardly have a discussion. We have a shouting match. And that doesn't help anybody.
