Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Eating cat in Vietnam

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Vietnam: Despite the fact that it is against the law, cat is a popular food in Vietnam and cat markets continue to exist.
According to reports, in Vietnam, cats are regarded as a source of strength and agility and are convinced that when people eat their meat, misfortunes will go away.

However, Michele Brown, who is fighting the selling of cat meat in Ho Chi Minh City, said that some of the cats were stolen, and eating cat meat also poses a risk to the health of consumers as some cats (homeless) carry many infectious diseases.

UPDATE: Dog and cat meat to be banned in Hanoi.

Hanoi's plan to ban dog meat puts pressure on hundreds of vendors
Vietnam's capital wants to close restaurants but finds resistance among locals
October 01, 2018 14:30 JST

HO CHI MINH CITY -- Hanoi plans to ban the trade in dog and cat meat in central districts from 2021, but locals say the practice is an integral part of Vietnamese culture and should not be regulated.

Hanoi announced earlier this month that the slaughter and consumption of what many consider to be pets are off-putting for tourists and expatriates and do not present a "modern" image of the capital.

Local district authorities have been urged recently to launch campaigns aimed at getting people to stop eating dog and cat meat, warning of the risks of contracting diseases, including potentially deadly rabies and leptospirosis that could be passed on from infected animals. Hanoi also plans to close down all dog meat restaurants in the city center over the next three years.

It is estimated that more than 1,000 vendors and restaurants in Hanoi alone offer dog and cat meat.

By Nikkei Asian Review's estimates, on the assumption that around 5 million dogs and cats in Vietnam are slaughtered each year for consumption, the annual trade for live animals in the country is worth around 2 billion dong ($85,400).

Animal rights activists and pet lovers have come out in support of the city's plans, but they also pointed out that such action should have been taken years ago. Meanwhile, staunch lovers of dog and cat cuisine are up in arms and they say that Hanoi is trying to root out a vital part of Vietnamese culture and its plans are hard to police.

Does this mean 5 million stray cats and dogs on the streets of Hanoi per annum?

So long they don't force me to eat cat or dog meat, I don't care.
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life. :facepalm:
