In a heartbreaking incident that has sparked global outrage, an 8-year-old Border Collie belonging to a Chinese food vlogger was stolen, sold to a restaurant for just $26 (approximately ₹<\/span>2,400) and eaten. The beloved canine, named Chutou, was a massive internet celebrity in his own right, boasting over 1.5 million followers across various Chinese social media platforms. Though the distraught influencer desperately offered a hefty cash reward to the dognapper for his pet’s safe return, he was tragically too late, as the dog had already been slaughtered.<\/p>\n

What had happened?<\/h2>\n

According to a site dedicated to seeking justice for Chutou, the 8-year-old blue merle Border Collie vanished near Liuhe town, Ningling County. His owner, Guo, later came to know that he was lured away by a man and sold for $26 “to be slaughtered for meat”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During the incident, Guo was on a solo road trip in Georgia, and Chutou was with the travel vlogger’s parents, reported the Star.<\/p>\n

On May 11, Guo’s father noticed that Chutou was missing, and upon reviewing CCTV footage, he discovered that the dog had been taken by two strangers.<\/p>\n

The news prompted Guo to return to China. Reportedly, the influencer tracked down the man who allegedly took Chutou and offered him $1,500 (approximately ₹<\/span>1.4 lakh) to return the dog. However, to his horror, the man told him that the dog was already sold to a restaurant and eaten.<\/p>\n

“The dog is dead, so stop making a fuss. I did not break the law,” the suspect allegedly told the dog’s owners and refused to even apologise.<\/p>\n

Guo also reached out to a restaurant worker in hopes of getting the dog’s fur and giving him a proper goodbye. However, the individual who butchered Chutou said, “The hair was thrown in the rubbish long ago,” reported the outlet.<\/p>\n

How did social media react?<\/h2>\n

The story broke the hearts of internet users who agreed that stricter animal laws were needed. An individual posted, “Wow. This story is grim… I wish the full extent of the law befalls these people.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Another added, “I don’t care what country you are in, to treat animals like this, you just can’t be a human. There’s just no way.” A third expressed, “Heartbreaking. Dog lovers worldwide are raging right now.”<\/p>\n

A fourth wrote, “This is everywhere right now. It might be just the thing to see some real change in that country. The spark that lights a fire to burn for all time! Rest in peace, my little friend, this might go nuclear and save millions of your friends!!”<\/p>\n
