Recently, a piece of news spread that shocked people: there are illegal traders blatantly selling cat meat on the street, and the price is as high as 18 yuan each, which has aroused widespread doubts and concerns. The reporter sneaks in for an interview and finally uncovers the truth behind this tricky and outrageous topic.

According to interview records, the owner of the cat butcher shop did not shy away from admitting to selling cat meat, and explicitly stated that it was "tastier than pork." However, the source of the cat is a mystery, and it is only known that its price of 3 yuan per catty is provided by "illegal cat catchers". Subsequently, the price skyrocketed to 10 yuan per catty. What's more, during the period of high pork prices, some "illegal small workshops" used cat meat to sell as pork.
Behind this is an anonymous industrial chain that seriously threatens public health and safety. The origin of the cat is doubtful, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no abuse casualties. In the absence of quarantine certificates, there are hidden dangers in the pathogenic sources of various bacteria in cat meat. In addition, according to the production and business license, the illegal activities are extremely heavy. This is a double harm to animal rights and the public interest.
After the incident, there was a heated discussion among netizens. One side believes that as long as there is a permit and quarantine compliance, the consumer's personal choice should be respected, but more netizens said that eating cats is a more appropriate companion for animals rather than food, which is difficult to agree with out of compassion, and there are safety concerns.
As a society that embodies the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, we should attach importance to the dignity of every life and protect the rights and interests of vulnerable animals. In view of the public interest and health and safety involved in this incident, the relevant departments should immediately intervene to investigate the truth, seriously deal with the relevant responsible persons, clarify relevant laws and regulations, and avoid the recurrence of similar incidents. Each of us citizens should also guide ourselves to make thoughtful choices and maintain the direction of social progress.
In addition to the above discussions, this incident has also triggered the following thoughts:
1. Is it necessary to amend the relevant laws to explicitly prohibit the consumption of cat meat, and does the status of cats as pets need to be improved?
2. How to solve the problem of illegal purchase of cats, and can strengthening the management of pet stores effectively curb similar behaviors?
3. What is the public's awareness of eating cats, are there differences between different classes, and is it necessary to carry out relevant publicity?
4. How to prevent supply chain management similar to the black industry chain, and what long-term supervision mechanisms should be established by relevant departments?
5. What deficiencies in laws and regulations should we explore and improve due to the problems exposed by this incident?
3. What is the impact of this incident on people from all walks of life, and will public opinion attitudes change over time?
7. How should the relevant responsible authorities properly resolve this incident and prevent similar incidents from happening again, and how can they remedy the harm that has been caused?
The above questions are worthy of our persistent thinking and answering. I believe that only by starting from all details and participating in the improvement of laws and regulations can we build a more humane and harmonious society. The relevant departments also hope to be able to respond to the public's voice through action.
To sum up, this incident requires relevant departments to immediately intervene to investigate the truth and make it clear that legislation benefits society. Each of us citizens should also reflect on ourselves and work together to safeguard the direction of social progress. Only in this way can similar incidents be avoided and the public interest can be best protected.
