if they "rescued 1000 cats" from being sold as pork meat, that means at least 1,000,000 cats are sold as pork every day.. this is just a little show for the newspapers..

so if you're actually in China right now eating what you think is "pork", Bon Appetit i guess

What kind of logic is that? Why stop at a million, why not a billion.

Why is it worse to eat a cat than to eat a pig?

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 year ago

It's not, but if it's being sold as pork it's a problem

Pigs are way way nicer animals than cars. Cats are evil and grumpy. A pig is cheerful and friendly

Which cat hurt you so much?

[-] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Pigs eat people. My cat can actually help me craft boats.

[-] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I'd like to hear more about this feline boat building endeavor.

Because a pig is smarter and cats are devious minions of satan

It's both bad. So good news the cats were saved.

[-] steven@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly. The title read to me like "look at those good police saving the cars from being killed for meat". How about the millions of pigs that get slaughtered to be sold as pork meat. We don't care about them?

I mean I'd eat cat if you just labeled it cat.

What i don't understand is how any meat can be passed off as both pork AND mutton, two very different types of meat.
