In addition, the city’s statement asked residents to stop eating cat meat — or “little tiger” as it’s sometimes called on menus — as it deters tourists. “The trading, killing and use of dog and cat meat has brought on a negative reaction from tourists and expatriates living in Hanoi,” the statement reads, per The Japan Times. Officials say there are currently around 1,000 restaurants and markets that sell dog and cat meat, and that roughly 10 percent of the nearly 500,000 dogs and cats within Hanoi are raised for meat. "People eat dog meat and there's no problem," she said, per the Associated Press. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
