Hundreds of cats rescued from being eaten in China

Animal activists in Shanghai rescued 300 cats packed into 22 bamboo crates from a dealer who had bought the allegedly stolen pets for sale to restaurants in southern China.
The activists, acting on a tip-off from a cat lover, found 22 bamboo cages full of cats in a yard, from where they were to be shipped to Guangdong province.

Lai Xiaoyu, 34, who was one of those involved in Friday night's rescue, told the AFP news agency that most of the animals have been returned to their owners, but three cats died and some had broken legs.
