Uppy Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 America Sends Thousands of Cats to ChinaRecently, Congressman Fristish McBooger announced to thousands of Americans that he, the president of Cats for China, and his organization were shipping cats to China to help feed the millions of homeless and starving. When confronted by the question of donated his own cat, McBooger denied that he ever had a cat at all. This statement, however, was discovered to be untrue, because he and his grey and white tabby cat, Fristish Jr, had posed in Zoo Children not three months before. McBooger then claimed he had borrowed the cat from his next door neighbor, Bridget Glip, but will not release any veterinarian information supporting this claim.The cats will be sent to China in approximately three months, with more than 300 drop-off points across the United States. When interviewed, Cats for China worker Amy Anderson comments, “They’re coming in faster than we can pack them, now, thanks to generous citizens. We finally had to take the ‘Cat bacon’ and ‘Kitty sticks’ and rename them both ‘Cat ham,’ just to be more time efficient.” Anderson also says that nothing goes to waste; even the fat is used to make candles for their fundraiser store. “Everything we don’t use here gets packed into cubes, soaked with the dirty fat, and shipped to the closest electrical plant to be burned as fuel,” says Samuel Anderson, Amy’s brother, “And just because our plan president is dishonest does not mean that we are.” If you would like to donate to this chivalrous cause, please send your cat to:5232 East Valleyway Avenue,Liberty Lake, Washington,99218Cats for China will take care of the packing, shipping, and distribution of the food.Pictures will be released later.

Dnas Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Gato is Spanish for cat.The Chinese for cat is mao. (Of course, it's not written that way. )What's everyone got against China? Seriously, just about everywhere I go, there are people racist against the "effing asians".(No, I'm not offended or anything by this topic, but it's certainly an interesting observation for me. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uppy Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Lol. I don't have anything against China! I just thought it would be funny to make a story about Amercia sending cats to China because Chinese eat cats. Hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Chinese don't all eat cats. Most don't. It's very very rare, and more of a snobbish rich delicacy thing.Do a Google on it... you'll see what I mean.(Though, on the subject of what Chinese eat... frogs are delicious. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoggyFrog Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 The Chinese for cat is mao. (Of course, it's not written that way. )It's like 'meow' in cantonese At least how that's how I think of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Cat (and dog) eating is more widespread in Korea.Here's a great article on the subject matter (and the West's hypocracy).http://messybeast.com/eat-cats.htm Edited March 3, 2006 by Mythos_Ruler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hey! Frogs are tasty! Seriously, they taste kind of like chicken. But with a nicer texture. And it's much easier to clean the bones off, with chicken you get scraps everywhere, but the bone comes right out with the leg of the frog.

Master Fluff Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Lol, I can't believe you havn't heard of eating frogs. They taste pretty nice, like Dnas said.A freind went to China a few years ago, and brought me back a really disturbing picture of a couple shaved and sliced dogs sitting in the meat market... Honestly I didn't eat for a week. I love dogs. I didn't think it was a delicacy thing though, because the place where this picture was taken was a very poor place... maybe only cats or a delicacy?Hehe.

Dnas Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I didn't think it was a delicacy thing though, because the place where this picture was taken was a very poor place... maybe only cats or a delicacy?Dunno. That's just what my mom told me about it. (I'm half-Taiwanese half-Russian) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matei Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 French eat frogs too, and French have amazing cuisine. I haven't eaten frogs but I've eaten snails in a French restaurant, they're delicious. (They're kind of like shrimp or squid, it's really not very weird).

Historicity Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 So -- this isn't real if you wrote the article? I was kinda taken for granted over this than -- seeing as how a state in the midwest has a Feline Season out now (so that hunters can control the overwhelming population of cats in that area).

Klaas Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 In Flanders a real delicacy is horse meat. Don't know if this sounds strange to Americans, but our English neighbours think it's horrible. Oh and we eat frogs, snails and sea snails too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
