Help end cat-eating custom in China

In December 2008, animal lovers of Beijing urged their provincial government to crack down on cat traders and restaurants that serve cat meat, although no law says it is illegal to eat cats  http://www.chinapost.com.tw/china/local-news/other/2008/12/19/188363/China-protest.htm

Let's join the citizens of China in their protest against the sale and consumption of domestic cats, a popular custom in the Guangdong province.  It has long been common for cats and dogs to be eaten in some parts of China and in some other Asian countries.
