Muffy meat may have been off the menu during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but feline flesh has since snuck back into Chinese cuisine. According to the Chengdu Business Daily, 10,000 cats are eaten per day in the Guangdog providence, while 1,000 additional animals destined for the cleaver arrive daily, prompting Chinese animal advocates to unleash their claws onto the government and the province’s restaurant industry. Protestors recently took to the streets of Beijing, calling on the government to stop the inhumane treatment. As yet, no response from the catatonic government.
