Outrage as Chinese Woman Adopts Dogs Only to Kill and Cook Them
A Chinese woman named Zhixuan is under investigation after allegedly adopting stray dogs from local shelters, only to later kill and cook them. The shocking incident came to light when she posted videos and images on social media showcasing her preparing the dogs for meals, which attracted public outrage.
According to the South China Morning Post, Zhixuan, who owns a grain shop, initially pledged to care for the animals, even agreeing to follow-up visits from shelter staff. However, she reportedly began slaughtering the dogs and shared a post stating, "Dog meat is almost ready. Perfect for a rainy day with a drink." Another post featured her child eating dog meat, captioned, "Only the best for the kid."
The Market Supervision Bureau confirmed that the dog meat has been confiscated and noted that the investigation is ongoing. In response to the incident, Tan, the director of the rescue group, highlighted the importance of carefully vetting individuals who seek to adopt animals. Although eating dog meat is not banned in China, Shenzhen has implemented strict regulations against it since 2020.
