Internet-famous dog in China stolen, slaughtered and eaten<\/h2>\n

An internet-famous dog named Chutou from Henan, China, was allegedly stolen and sold to a dog meat restaurant for 180 yuan (S$34) in May.<\/p>\n

The eight-year-old Border Collie belonged to a content creator named Mr Guo.<\/p>\n

Together, the duo amassed more than a million followers on social media, delighting viewers with their travels around China.<\/p>\n

Chutou’s owner is seeking justice for his beloved companion and is seeking legal action against the suspects.<\/p>\n

Border Collie was taken by two individuals<\/h3>\n

At the time of the incident, Mr Guo had left Chutou with his parents in Henan as he was travelling alone in Georgia.<\/p>\n

On 11 May, Mr Guo’s father went to work in a field and left Chutou to guard their vehicle.<\/p>\n

This was when the dog was stolen by a man and a woman riding an electric scooter.<\/p>\n

They hid the dog behind the wildshield of their scooter and avoided main roads as they fled.<\/p>\n

Mr Guo immediately returned to China upon finding out that his dog had been taken.<\/p>\n

The owner also offered an 5,000 yuan (S$950) reward for anyone who can provide information regarding Chutou’s whereabouts.<\/p>\n

While Chutou was wearing a GPS tracker on his collar when he was taken, the device had unfortunately run out of power.<\/p>\n

On 26 May, Mr Guo found the man suspected of stealing Chutou in another village.<\/span><\/p>\n

The suspect then confessed that he had sold Chutou to a dog meat restaurant for 180 yuan.<\/p>\n

After locating the buyer, Mr Guo found out that his beloved companion had been slaughtered on 14 May.<\/p>\n

The suspect and his family showed no remorse for the brutal act.<\/p>\n

“If you want a dog, we’ll give you another one; if you want money, we’ll give you 180 yuan,” they reportedly said.<\/p>\n

Villagers also allegedly shared the same sentiment, saying Mr Guo was making an unnecessary fuss over the canine.<\/p>\n

According to a local report, Mr Guo bought Chutou in 2018 when he was a three-month-old puppy.<\/p>\n

The incident has left netizens in an uproar.<\/p>\n

Lawyers have also weighed in on the issue, saying the price of a purebred merle-colored Border Collie may be over 10,000 yuan (S$1,900), which exceeds the threshold of a theft case.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the suspect is proven to have stolen, sold, and slaughtered the dog, he may also face charges of intentional damage to property.<\/span><\/p>\n

Police have opened an administrative case and launched an investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the property damage is deemed significant, the suspects may face criminal charges.<\/span><\/p>\n

The issue has also reignited discussions on dog theft and illegal trading, a longstanding problem in China due to the low cost of breaking the law.<\/p>\n

While eating dogs and cats is banned in cities such as Shenzhen, some regions still continue with the practice.<\/p>\n
