Careful what you eat....?
A pensioner friend described, today, how some of his colleagues recently had a meal at a Chinese restaurant up near London.After the meal, one of the ladies realised that she was having some pain from something which was stuck between two teeth in her mouth.
After trying to get it out, and due to the pain growing steadily, she made an appointment, with her dentist, to have what she thought was a small sharp piece of bone removed.
The dentist managed to get the piece out and, after examining it said that he knew what it was and had seen similar before.
He said "that's a piece from an electronic tracking device of the sort normally injected into a cat's neck!"
Like me, you're going to say that this is garbage...but the lady is not the lying type.
The mind boggles!

Considering the time and effort involved in chasing, catching, skinning, deboning and filleting local cats (as well as the likelihood of discovery and prosecution) this seems a little unlikely. Much easier, cheaper and less effort to buy cheap chicken in bulk from a wholesaler.Nice urban myth, but still an urban myth!

If it is indeed chicken, which the wholesaler is selling.
Remember the horse meat scandal?
