About 800 cats were rescued from Guangdong dinner tables this weekend when activists from the Shanghai Animal Protection Association managed to free them from local 'cat dealers'. The animals were already caged and loaded into a truck ready for delivery, but the activists released about 800 of the 1500 in the truck before they were stopped.
The article doesn't say whether they were just released or actually rescued (as in, to a rescue centre) - could that mean a huge cat plague in the area..? They'd only be caught again and eaten by the locals - or dessimate the local wildlife...
