All curry gaffs should be raided and meat DNA tested

A bin bag stuffed with severed cats' heads has been found dumped near Manchester's famous Curry Mile.

The RSPCA and Manchester City Council launched an urgent investigation after the grisly discovery on Friday.

The bag was found by a council worker during a clampdown on fly-tipping in the Rusholme area of the city.

An internal memo sent to councillors and town hall officials after the sickening find described the contents of the bin bag as "cat heads".

Chairman at Wythenshawe and Sale East Conservative Association Stephen Woods called for an immediate investigation into the discovery.

We were all absolutely flabbergasted when we found out about this," he told the Manchester Evening News.

"It's absolutely disgraceful the way they have been treated."

A spokesman for Manchester City Council confirmed an investigation was underway into the find off Wilmslow Road - just yards from the city's curry house district.

"A member of our team was called to an address in Rusholme earlier today and discovered a fly-tipped black bin liner containing animal remains," he said.

“This is obviously an incredibly distressing and sickening incident which we are now looking into but this is the first incident of its kind we have come across.

“At this stage we have no way of knowing how these animal parts came to be where they were discovered but we will be contacting the RSPCA as this is clearly an extreme example of animal cruelty.”

It's amazing that people still eat at certain restaurants.
This business with the cats has been going on for decades.

Absolutely sickening.

How distressing for anyone who's cat has gone missing in the area to hear about this.

Glad I don't have cats it must be such a worry when you have to let them out on their own.

i've never quite understood this 'myth' ..there is little meat on a cat, they are hard to catch surely, then you have to skin them presumably  and   chickens are about £2 each .does not add up .

How can he tell from the head how the cat was treated?
Its clearly dead, but then so would have been the chicken had that been used, and the chicken head would have been disgarded somewhere.

Sure people need to know what meat it is.

I think the curry houses are treating their customers with utter contempt serving up cat meat.
Report sideshowbob • August 18, 2014 11:57 PM BST
i doubt a restaurant would do this, its probably some shady crims who nabbed the cats to sell the fur and try to sell the meat off as summat else.

besides, if you owned a restaurant and sold cat meat would you then throw a bag of heads right down the road?? only if youre proper radio rentals.

kenny mann - Animal Cruelty Is the Price We Pay for Cheap Meat, try and think on!

No it isn't.  Cheap meat is easily available - Rabbit, Squirrel, excess thoroughbred Racehorse production.  Some of us just choose not to eat it.

Not sure about cat meat (but then there is no evidence of this in this story, is thereCrazy) However, if it was edible and nutritious, I'd be a huge fan.  Far too many felines, and a state sponsored cull would yield a huge beneficial blip in our songbird population.

Queen's Donation to Wildlife Haters
Posted: 26 March 2008 - BANG Media International
Queen Elizabeth has donated an undisclosed sum from her personal income to a controversial songbird charity.

The Songbird Survival organisation has attracted criticism for supporting the killing of magpies, grey squirrels and wild cats to preserve the nation's songbirds.

The Norfolk-based charity has also consistently attacked the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds - a charity the queen is patron of - for denying the animals are responsible for the decline of the songbird species.

The Norfolk-based charity was among the 17 animal charities the Queen gave an undisclosed sum to last year.
Report dustybin • August 19, 2014 5:00 PM BST
there is little more distressing in spring than seeing a magpie chase a young blackbird around the place while the blackbird panics.
I looked up online, I dont think its illegal to shoot or trap magpies so considered doing it myself.
Plus they sit on the satellite dish and I lose the feed IR on the racing, fookers

blackbarn, I take it you mean ownerless strays who are collected?

dusty, I've shot a couple of magpies in my garden before. They was going after a nest and the parents of the young un's were screeching around panicked. I'm not sure what birds they were, but they were black.

Anyway, I grabbed a .22 rifle I have had since my teens and shot em. 2 very quick painless deaths and the other birds seemed very happy and successfully reared the young I think).
