Vietnam – Pet cats are being snatched off the streets and killed in their ten of thousands across Asia – to feed the booming appetite for their meat in Vietnam. Restaurants serving domestic cats – sold as a delicacy known as ‘baby tiger’ – are springing up across northern Vietnam, despite laws against eating the animals. And at one restaurant – an hour’s drive from the capital Hanoi – the owner told MailOnline demand is so high he’d slaughtered 31 cats already that day just to keep up. Although eating cat meat is illegal, police officers and lawyers are among Vietnam’s biggest customers.
