Vietnam police bust cat-meat ring, rescue over 400 cats
Vietnamese police shut down a cat-meat trafficking operation, rescuing more than 400 cats—several of them pregnant, with kittens born in custody. Volunteers and vets, including Vietnam Cat Welfare, are caring for the survivors as families search for their lost pets. The case has drawn attention to animal-welfare concerns in Vietnam, where dog and cat meat consumption remains legal in some areas but reforms and partnerships with global groups are pushing for stronger pet protections and oversight of the trade.
