At China Dialogue, Zhou Yiyan reports<\/a> the release of a documentary on China\u2019s cat meat trade:<\/p>\n
chinaSMACK translates a similar account here<\/a>, accompanied by extremely graphic photographs. Their recipe is slightly different:<\/p>\n
This is accompanied by translated comments from Tiexue<\/a>, expressing a range of perspectives:<\/p>\n

I think aside from human meat, anything can be eaten!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It is okay to eat [cat], but one must eat with dignity!<\/p>\n
Aren\u2019t pigs, cows, and sheep all stunned before slaughtering these days?<\/p>\n
Be a little more humane, as this [way of slaughtering] is indeed cruel!<\/p>\n
A further question is just how exceptional this level of cruelty is in the context of modern industrial fishing<\/a> and (from Jonathan Safran Foer\u2019s Eating Animals<\/em>) farming<\/a>:<\/p>\n
This is a kind of blessing, as the slanted floor is made of wire, which cuts into your feet.<\/p>\n
