So... why don't they just let all the caged civet cats go free (maybe tag them first) and let um catch all the rats.. then kill the cats? www1.chinadaily.com.cn Some info on civet cats. cbc.ca Just looking at my searches, I see several links by animal rights groups. I don't think it's the killing and eating of these animals, it's how they are treated while alive. A question that can be pointed at farming in general at the West too. The Mad Cow problem that occurred in Britain took a lot of solving in the political scene.

Philippines Plans to Confine More People Due to SARS, AFP Says Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- The Philippines plans to confine more people who had contact with a Hong Kong-based household helper who may have SARS, Agence France-Presse said, citing Department of Health infectious disease unit spokeswoman Luningning Villa. The people to be quarantined include hospital workers and others, Agence France-Presse reported, without saying how many people will be affected. The woman, who has atypical pneumonia, and her husband, who has a cough, are confined at a government hospital. A doctor who treated her, who isn't showing symptoms, has confined himself at home. The couple's children are being monitored at home. Severe acute respiratory syndrome last year killed 774 people, mostly in China and Hong Kong, hurting tourism and other businesses. The Philippines had 14 cases and two fatalities. (Agence France-Presse 1-6) Last Updated: January 5, 2004 21:24 EST Regards, ldo79
