More than 400 cats destined for slaughter have been rescued in Vietnam.
It’s after authorities dismantled an alleged feline theft ring, an animal welfare group said.
Police said they tracked down the group on 11 June after investigating a spate of pet thefts in Ho Chi Minh City, according to local media reports, and nine people were arrested.
About 40 of the stolen cats have since been reunited with their owners, Humane World for Animals said in a statement on Tuesday.
