Police in China have rescued hundreds of diseased and dying cats packed inside a lorry and allegedly destined for dinner plates in unregulated restaurants.

Authorities in the city of Haikou, which is the capital of Hainan Province in South China, stopped the suspicious heavy goods vehicle hauling no fewer than 307 live cats last week.

The vehicle originated from neighbouring Guangdong Province, and the driver was unable to produce a certificate of quarantine proving the animals had been checked, the police said.
