Imagine 500 cats dropped off in your neighborhood?

I’ve eaten at a few Chinese restaurants

There's a full restaurant nearby called New Moon Restaurant that has the absolutely worst Chinese cuisine I have ever tasted.

There's also another nearby that is just a small storefront take out owned by a little Chinese guy who works by himself and occasionally has high school kids answering the phone. His is the best Chinese food I have ever eaten.......

The guy is a hoot! He's only about 5 ft. tall and missing many teeth but when he laughs, he throws his head back and lets it go....it's infectious and you have to laugh too.

He has a wife with dementia at home and 4 daughters who he put thru the University of Michigan. One now lives in Australia, one is in New York City, one is in Chicago working on her PHD and the fourth is still at U of M........

Now you know why wonton soup has that particular color and flavor...

Do you think people don’t have enough bandwidth to look at two completely different issues and weigh them on their own merits and take a stand, or are people sufficiently shallow (in your opinion) that they are only capable of taking one stand on one issue, ever, to the exclusion of all others?

Because if I follow your logic, if someone takes even a minute out of their time to opine on the high gas taxes in their state without in the same sentence taking the time to take issue with muslim beheadings, somehow they are short shrifting the issue of Islamic violence?

Just curious, nothing personal. It seemed like a strange non-sequitur on your part.

Funny...that was my exact thought about a second after I clicked the post button!

"...The man had used sparrows and caged birds..."

I guess this is what passes for journalism at the WaPoo these days.

This is just plain wong!

it seems silly that eating dogs and cats is illegal in this country. But that’s what government is good for, dictating the private choices people make in a way that gets politicians re-elected.

I mean, I understand why someone who had a cat they loved would never eat that cat. But it seems rather pretentious for a person to say “well, I love my cat, so you can’t eat a cat”.

Tastes like chicken!

The Tabby & Tabouli, as long as they get all the claws out, is not all that bad.

But the General Tso’s Tabby Cat it to die for.

All the kids love the Extra Crispy Calico.

I wouldn’t mind it too much. We have a lot of wood rats and squirrels that need thinnin’..................

The U.S. prohibited the sale of horses for meat (in 2013, I think) when it was learned that a Kentucky Derby winner had been sold to a Japanese meat market. When that happened, the price for a horse hit rock bottom. You literally couldn't give them away. My cousin told me they were very careful to keep an eye on their trailer at a horse show. If you didn't, someone would load two horses they couldn't afford to keep and leave. Or you would have to put a lock on your pasture gate to prevent someone unloaded horses in the night.

Most Chinese I've seen worship money as their deity. They will do anything whatsoever for it. Around here, you see ancient Chinese women rummaging through recycle bins for bottles to redeem--they will even go through garbage for money. And most Chinese have NO feelings for animals. Less than nothing.

I know what I would do to this piece of excrement who was going to make money selling kitties to restaurants, destined for a cruel death. I would beat him to a pulp with a baseball bat studded with nails, then shut him in a locked cage and toss it into a remote ravine. That is exactly what he deserves. Just thinking about this news article makes my blood boil.
