Have you all seen the civet cats, they look more like a racoon or similar, not that it makes any difference, I think they are panicking, but as someone said their fate was on dinner plates, it is better that they die humanely than perhaps they way they normally would.
Yes eating cats or dogs is abhorrent to me as well, repulsive, because they have become our pets, but then so can a cow or pig,so I guess I am being somewhat hypocritical here.
