Cat Kidnapping Border Gang Blamed


French animal rights activists in Haute-Savoie suspect Swiss involvement in an alleged cat-trafficking racket in which 450 cats have disappeared this year.

Patricia Dolciani, the head of the Society for the Protection of Animals in Thonon-les-Bains, said that 10,000 cat skins a year were treated in two tanneries across the border in Switzerland. The sale of cat skin is prohibited in France but not in Switzerland. Sylviane Gielmini, the owner of a tannery in Yvonand, said: “I treat maybe one or two cat skins a year for owners whose pets died and who want a memento.” (AFP)
