                      China's Meat Market Infested by Rats

   Chinese consumers are reeling following the latest scandal to rock the
   country`s food supply -- a crime ring that passed off meat from rats as
   lamb.
   Chinese police say they have arrested 63 people who allegedly ran the
   rat meat scam out of Shanghai and the coastal city of Wuxi. The arrests
   are part of a larger crackdown on fake or tainted meat that has
   resulted in the arrests of more than 900 people since the end of
   January.
   Authorities have also confiscated more than 20,000 tonnes of meat
   product made from rats and other small mammals, as well as meat tainted
   with additives and chemicals.
   Many Chinese have been venting their anger on microblogging sites like
   Sina Weibo.
