Representatives of the group that met Police Commissioner A.K. Viswanathan recently said that the meat of these cats was being sold as mutton biriyani at roadside eateries/hotels in Pallavaram, Avadi and Otteri. Shiranee Pereira of PfA said they had been receiving complaints from cat lovers and owners across the city about pets being lost to the illegal cat meat trade. “Eateries selling cat meat as mutton must also be identified and shut down. Continuous police surveillance of these camps, we feel, will greatly deter this criminal activity,” Ms. Pereira said.
