[KS] Cats next?!

[Onno Veer]

Dear List,

The UK Channel 5 had an interesting feature on Korean eating habits this 
evening. Apart from dog-meat, so-called 'Cat juice' was central in the 
feature. This was new to me. What I understood is that 'cat-juice is some 
sort of cat soup. Apparently it is essential the cats are boiled when still 
alive. I reckon this has similar reasons as the beating of dogs (to release 
adrenelin etc.. to tenderise the meat).
Luckily the English reporter manged to save one little kitten from the 
Pressure pan, so not to traumatise the pet-loving English public too much.

Anyway I can't wait to try it all on my next visit to Korea. can anyone 
recommend a nice restaurant?

I was wondering, though, if the consumption of cats has the same reason
as why many Asians are still fascinated with Tiger meat, bones etc..
