A man accused of selling cat meat to samosa vendors has been jailed for three years by a Nakuru court.
Nakuru Chief Magistrate Benard Mararo convicted Mr James Mukangu Kimani after he admitted committing the offence when he appeared in court on Monday. Mr Kimani was charged with slaughtering and selling cat meat to unsuspecting customers on June 24in Nakuru town. The charge sheet stated that he slaughtered a cat for human consumption contrary to the Foods, Drugs and Chemical Substances Act.
He also faced another charge of slaughtering an animal in an undesignated place contrary to meat control regulations. In his defence, Mr Kimani said he had been sent by someone who offered to give him good pay if he delivered the meat and skin. He pleaded for leniency. But the court said the sentence was proportionate with the offence committed.
Speaking to journalists he claimed he has sold over 1,000 cats to samosa vendors and a hotel in the town since 2012. Mr Kimani said he started the business after he “identified a gap in the market”. However, he said his clients do not know he has been selling cat meat to them.

ReplyDeleteYuck!
ReplyDeleteI've eaten cat meat....even duck.
ReplyDeleteStella cat meat is a delicacy in my tribe though I've not tasted it yet. So stop writing *pukes*
ReplyDeleteI have seen people kill cat for the meat. The process of killing a cat is very dangerous. They put the cat inside an empty bag of rice. Tie the entrance very tight use a mutter stick or hard stick to hit the bag till the cat is no longer struggling. But cats can fake death so don't untie the bag. If not the cat will use it last breath to plug your eyes off. They now boil water n put the cat inside the basin of hot boiling water to make sure it is death. After this, the bag can then be untied. I hate cats, can't even keep one as a pet talk less of eaten them. I can't eat dogs or keep dogs either. Not just a fan.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...also same brutality with which dogs are killed too. Odi egwu!
DeleteDamn see process
