Doing good for others is a great one to add to your bucket list. The cruel Vietnamese cat meat trade is one cause worth considering supporting.
Today Four Paws released this video about their investigation into the cat trade in Vietnam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq4yUQ6-GCQ
From the Four Paws page. It is a Vietnamese page but they seem to have translated this post:
Shocking!! 🐈🐈🐈 FOUR PAWS and Change for Animals Foundation release a first of its kind investigative report exposing the theft, trafficking, and slaughter of more than one million cats every year in Vietnam! Every day in Vietnam, thousands of cats are stolen from the streets and even from people’s homes to supply the demand for cat meat. Distraught pet owners desperately search for their beloved companions, but for most, it is too late.
Once just a small-scale trade localized to the North of Vietnam, today’s cat meat trade spans the entire country and consists of complex international and trans-provincial trading networks covering distances of over 1,000 km, connecting holding areas slaughterhouses and restaurants who advertise cat meat as “Little Tiger”.
For the cats who survive a gruelling journey, the sights, smells, sounds and brutal hands await them are terrifying. They wait – some frozen in fear, others desperately pawing and biting at the cages – as they watch others being beaten and drowned.
These facts are hard to hear, but Vietnam’s cats need your help! You can be part of the change that ends this cruel, dangerous and illegal trade.
