evidence: Black Cats Killed En Masse In Vietnam According to reports by animal rights activists, black cats are being subjected to atrocious cruelties in Vietnam. They are being skinned, boiled, and cooked to prepare a paste that is being fed to people as a remedy to keep COVID-19 in check. For decades, Vietnam has been under the radar of organizations dealing with illegal wildlife trade. The widespread belief in traditional medicines that often use body parts of animals keeps the trade alive in the country. Now, in addition to wildlife, black cats are also victims of this belief system. Charity "No to Dog Meat" says that the practice of using black cat paste as a COVID-19 remedy is centered in Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, but bottles of the purported cure are being sold online as well. Footages showing the killing of black cats in Vietnam will give nightmares to any sentient person. Campaigners have captured the horrendous images of rows of dead black cats left to dry in the sun. One heart-wrenching video shows boiling water being poured on a live black cat placed in a cooking pot.
