Not-such-a-mystery meat

Animal rights activists are probably reposting this story to draw attention to the inhumane treatment of animals. I just think that the name of the restaurant deserves some notice. From Reuters:

Banner-wielding animal rights protesters swarmed into a restaurant serving cat meat in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen and forced it to shut, Xinhua news agency said Sunday.

The 40 or so, mainly female demonstrators — holding banners reading “cats and dogs are friends of human beings” — entered the Fangji Cat Meatball restaurant and demanded the owner free any live cats on the premises, Xinhua said.

There were none in the building, as the owner had already moved them out, it said. But some burst into tears upon finding a skinned cat in a fridge.

Animal rights protest shuts restaurant

Personally, I find the idea of cat meatballs a little off-putting, but there are millions of devout Hindus who would definitely pass on a nice cheesesteak.
