PSA Stay Away From Chinese Cat Meat Soup

[Conley]

Poisoned cat-meat stew is suspected to have been used to kill a billionaire in southern China.

Police have detained a local official in Guangdong province in connection with the sudden death of Long Liyuan on 23 December.

The official, Huang Guang, is suspected of adding a toxic plant to the stew at a restaurant where they were eating.

A police statement said the two were involved in a dispute after Mr Huang allegedly embezzled money from Mr Long.

Mr Huang, an agriculture official in Bajia, took Mr Long, who ran a forestry company, to visit a piece of woodland on 23 December, said the statement.

Afterwards, the two went to a local restaurant to share a local delicacy, slow-boiled cat-meat stew. A friend of Mr Long's was also present.

Mr Huang is alleged to have added the plant Gelsemium elegans to the cat-meat dish.

they only eat that in that area of China though, even for Chinese that's too over the top in most places.

Thanks RW. I didn't think it was too common. Eating a Chinese cat may actually be safer than eating an American hot dog actually. There have been horrific stories with meat packaging in this country.

For some reason, I don't find it necessary for the PSA to advise me on this issue.
