The text states that almost 4 million cats are eaten each year in Asia.
Infact verdict: Mixed (43/100).
The claim that almost 4 million cats are eaten annually in Asia lacks substantial verification from authoritative sources. Web evidence indicates that while the consumption of cat meat occurs in parts of Asia, particularly in countries like Vietnam and regions of China, the scale of 4 million annually is not directly supported by the provided data. References such as the Humane Society International and other sources indicate the practice exists but are unclear on the exact numbers. Therefore, the claim remains doubtful without concrete statistical backing.

Almost 4 million cats are eaten in Asia every year.
The claim that almost 4 million cats are eaten annually in Asia is not specifically corroborated by authoritative evidence. Web evidence shows that cat meat consumption occurs in regions like Vietnam and China, but the cited numbers either focus on combined dog and cat consumption or lack precise figures. Organizations like Humane Society International suggest the practice occurs, but no reliable evidence confirms the figure of 4 million cats. Thus, the claim is partially unverified and likely exaggerated.
