Animal activists had spotted the cats in wooden boxes in a cemetery.
The cats were rescued from slaughter and taken to a shelter More than 1,000 cats set to be slaughtered and sold as pork and mutton have been rescued by police in China. The cats were in a truck in the eastern city of Zhangjiagang, when officers, who had received a tip-off from animal welfare activists, intercepted the vehicle. An illegal trade of cat meat was uncovered, sparking fresh fears over food safety in the country, the BBC reports. The animals were moved to a shelter.
’ Another said: ‘When will there be laws to protect animals? Don’t the lives of cats and dogs matter?’ For decades animal rights activists have been fighting for the Chinese government to clamp down on the trade of dog and cat meat. Many of these animals are stolen from their families and are crammed into the back of lorries for days with no food or water before being killed.
