WHERE and WHY do cats eat?
Cat meat is eaten mainly in China and Vietnam. However, in difficult times, cats were eaten in other countries. For example, during the famine in besieged Leningrad. And in the 90s, the Latin American press wrote about the use of cat meat for food in the slums of Buenos Aires.
Cat meat is also popular due to the old Chinese belief that it has medicinal properties and cures various diseases. Scientific institutes of the People's Republic of China not only refute this information, but also, on the contrary, say that cat meat is dangerous to health due to tolerable diseases, less medical control and nutritional characteristics of these animals.
By the way, in Spanish-speaking countries there is even an expression "palm off a cat instead of a rabbit." The freshened carcass of a cat is often passed off as a rabbit, since without skin, tail, head and legs, their carcasses look very similar. In this case, you can distinguish them only by their paws (which is why, when selling a cut rabbit, paws covered with wool are left).
