Vietnam: 12 Arrested for Cat Theft

The Ministry of Public Security in Vietnam has arrested 12 individuals aged between 16 and 39 on suspicion of stealing approximately 2,700 cats and selling them for use in preparing cat meat dishes in Ho Chi Minh City. The suspects were raided, and equipment such as traps, cages, and fur removal tools were seized. Dozens of cats were also rescued. The arrests came after complaints from residents about their pets disappearing at night, with the group often operating between 11 PM and 4 AM, swiftly collecting and smuggling the cats for sale. Cat meat dishes are still served in some rural areas of Vietnam, where the meat is believed to have medicinal properties. Meanwhile, some cats have been returned to their owners or are now in the care of animal protection organizations.
