evidence: Black Cats Skinned, Cooked, Sold As Coronavirus Remedy In Vietnam, Rights Group Says Animal rights activists are demanding action following reports about people skinning and cooking black cats for preparing "coronavirus cure" in Vietnam. Some people reportedly were making a paste with the meat to treat COVID-19. [...] It may be noted that reports about the black cat "coronavirus cure" emerged at a time when many Chinese cities were banning the consumption of cat and dog meats. Chinese city Shenzhen, taking account of the deadly pandemic situation, prohibited the consumption and trade of dog and cat meats in the first week of April, becoming the first city in the country to do so.
