BEIJING — A southern Chinese province must stop the "shameful" and "cruel slaughter" of cats for food, a group of more than 40 animal lovers in Beijing said Thursday as they unfurled banners in a tearful protest.

Thousands of cats across the country have been caught in the past week by traders and transported to Guangdong province to be killed for food, said the protesters gathered at the Guangdong government's office in Beijing.

"We are very angry because the cats are being skinned and then cooked alive. We must make them correct this uncivilized behavior," said Wang Hongyao, who represented the group in submitting a letter to the Guangdong office.

Hang on a minute.... skinned and cooked alive. Is that even possible?

It does actually sound like some people's pets may be being rounded up though.

Worse, the Chinese have their version of PETA, too!

surely a quick bash between the eyes with a hammer would make the whole process much safer than trying to skin a live angry cat
