Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2004new family moved in
I live in a lower class neighborhood and have 3 cats and recently a foriegn asian couple moved in a couple houses down. ive been told that they are students at one of the local colleges. that fine but what bothers me is recently a few of the neighborhood animals have dissapeard and someone mentioned that maybe it was the asian couple since their "cuisine" is a bit different than ours. how does one go about asking them "hey are you eating our pets?" kind of a bit of a spot. i mean even if it was true surely they just thought they were strays. anyway im scared to let my cats out due to they may get "stir fried". | I live in a lower class neighborhood and have 3 cats and recently a foriegn | asian couple moved in a couple houses down. ive been told that they are [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] | just thought they were strays. anyway im scared to let my cats out due to | they may get "stir fried". This is an ongoing discussion. But I'd take the time and share my concern with people from the animal protection and also the police. Could you say that the pets have disappeared about at the same time when the couple has moved in? In our town the Chinese restaurants are blooming ... and pets are disappearing too ... Carola ohh I didn't know it was ongoing elsewhere. guess I shoulda looked huh? and yes it did kinda start when they moved in but its been real sporadic. I really have a hard time believing they're eating them but one of the neighbors has kinda turned it into the neighborhood conspiracy. and there's too much coincidence. and I know not all asians eat cats and dogs but some obviously so since you read in the newspapers about the chinese restaurants getting busted with animals in their freezers. and we have contacted the animal protection people. they said there wasn't a whole lot they could do with out some sort of proof. I also have heard of this before now just never believed it but when I've heard about it always solved itself once they figured out the animals are pets. maybe we'll jsut keep all the animals indoors for a while or maybe get ask the animal protection people to explain to them the animals are not to be eaten here. > This is an ongoing discussion.

Uh..I don't believe all people of asian descent eat cats & dogs, all people in England eat fish & chips, etc...Perhaps there might be a look see to determine the cause (besides picking an amazingly thoughtless point of reasoning) of the missing pets. And, yes, keep your own cat inside. Odds are, cat kept in the house do NOT: get run over by cars, get chewed up by wild animals/dogs, ingest leaking antifreeze and other poisons. >G." billgrahm@nospam.yahoo.com >writes [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >get run over by cars, get chewed up by wild animals/dogs, ingest leaking >antifreeze and other poisons. Methinks you're feeding the trolls. Sherry All British cats are allowed to go outside. The cruelty laws mean that they're rarely confined. But I guess we don't have coyotes and stuff here. But we do have "Asian" people - and plenty of disappearing cat rumours. > G." billgrahm@nospam.yahoo.com > writes [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > get run over by cars, get chewed up by wild animals/dogs, ingest leaking > antifreeze and other poisons. > I live in a lower class neighborhood and have 3 cats and recently a foriegn > asian couple moved in a couple houses down. ive been told that they are [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > just thought they were strays. anyway im scared to let my cats out due to > they may get "stir fried". The last town I lived in had a large oriental population. Every town i've lived in (i've lived in lots of them) had many dogs and cats. The last town had a large oriental population, and you saw no cats or dogs in the town. Coincidence? I think not. It's long been known by residents in that town that was wise to keep your cats/dogs indoors becuase of the idea that if you go to Saigon one of the treats they serve in eating establishments is dogs and cats. Some have mentioned this in past years on this group and some have been upset that this would even be suggested. To that I would suggest they go to Saigon some time, go into some of the eating establishments. Not only will some of the serve cats/dogs, some of them will actually prepare them at your table for you. As Paul Harvey keeps saying, it's not one world. Even he reported this a few years back. So as a pet owner, what do you do? Keep your dogs/cats indoors. The authorities looked the other way, but the residents knew what was going on. >Uh..I don't believe all people of asian descent eat cats & dogs, all people in >England eat fish & chips, etc... The last city I lived in it was definetly going on whether you want to believe it or not. The elected officials in that city were bending over backwards to cut the asian population some slack. The oriental kids would go around the schools beating up hundreds of kids but let one American kid defend himself and that american would be suspended faster than you can Ho Chi Minh. The oriental population was the marjority poplutation and the elected offcials didn't want anger them. Try living in an oriental town before you complain about this. >>Uh..I don't believe all people of asian descent eat cats & dogs, all people >in [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Try living in an oriental town before you complain about this. Oh, come ON, people. This is *not* the forum to bitch about whatever perceived or real problem you have with Asian Americans beating up kids.. Besides, for gawd's sakes, look at the original post. It is so obviously a troll, and he's accomplished *exactly* what trolls set out to do...start a war and sit back and enjoy it. This is that posters *one and only* archived post on Google, for instance, and his question is, "How do I ask my neighbors "Are you eating my pets?" Sherry And how do you figure the OP wss a troll? I would point out the authorities know this stuff is going on, they choose to do nothing about it because the orientals have the majority of the population, they have lots of money to buy off the elected officials, and they control the deestiny of elected officials at voting time. well i wasn't looking to start a flame war about the asian population. was just wondering if anyone else had run into this situation and what they did. > And how do you figure the OP wss a troll? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > deestiny of elected officials at > voting time. >well i wasn't looking to start a flame war about the asian population. was >just wondering if anyone else had run into this situation and what they did. >"dw" I had wonderful Asian neighbors. I didn't eat the fish out of their pond, and they didn't eat my dogs and cats. Her house was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, and somehow I can't picture her slaughtering cats to stir-fry in it.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] | | Sherry I'm even related to Asians <grin>, and they are very nice people. But in this country it *is* a topic. And my neighbours' rabbits got stolen out of a well shut stable. Most likely by some locals. Carola >And how do you figure the OP wss a troll? I'm guessing he is a troll because has only *one* post archived, which is the "orientals are eating the neighborhood cats" post. He's never posted here before, and coincidentally (not) picked a volatile subject to post about. Typical troll stuff. Sherry |
