Cat Meat Restaurant Closed  

Banner-wielding animal rights protesters swarmed into a restaurant on
Lianhua Road in Buji Subdistrict serving cat meat and forced it to
shut down, Xinhua reported yesterday.

The 100 or so demonstrators, including women and children, held up
banners reading "cats and dogs are friends of human beings" as they
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, the report said. But some burst into tears upon finding a skinned
cat in a fridge.

"I cannot go on with my business and I will not sell cat meat any
more," the restaurant owner was quoted as saying, although he defended
his trade by saying eating cat was a tradition in Guangdong Province.

The organizer of the protest, identified only as Isobel, the founder
of a cat protection Web site, said the restaurant had been chosen
because it killed cats in the street and it was "very bad for the
students from nearby schools."

Gao Haiyun, Miss Shenzhen for the year 2005, also took part, calling
on people to "stop eating cats and dogs and become civilized," Xinhua
said.

In many parts of China, especially the southern regions, people have
the tradition of eating cat meat. Previous reports said that in
Guangzhou alone the residents eat 10,000 cats every day during the
winter.
