Vietnam Police Bust Cat-Stealing Ring Accused of Taking 2,700 Pets for Meat
Police in Ho Chi Minh City arrested 12 men accused of stealing roughly 2,700 cats in night raids between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., working in small motorbike teams that took four to ten animals each per night. Officers seized 50 live cats, 55 traps, two scales and two fur removal machines; the network was first spotted in July, and criminal proceedings opened Sunday. Eating cat meat is legal in Vietnam, and stolen cats reportedly sell to restaurants for about 70,000 dong ($2.70) per kilogram.
