Chutou, a beloved eight-year-old Border Collie and social media sensation, was allegedly abducted from his home in Henan province, China, and served as a dish in a restaurant after being sold for 180 yuan (approximately £20). His owner, Guo, who documented their travels together, reported Chutou missing on May 11. Surveillance footage reportedly captured two individuals taking the dog away. After returning to China, Guo confronted the alleged thief, who claimed he mistook Chutou for a stray despite the dog wearing a collar and GPS tracker. Guo later discovered that Chutou had been sold to a restaurant, where he was slaughtered. This incident has provoked outrage online, with many calling for accountability and sparking renewed debate over the dog meat trade in China. While some cities have banned the consumption of dog meat, there is no comprehensive national law protecting companion animals. Estimates suggest that around 10 million dogs are killed annually for human consumption in the country. Public opinion largely opposes the dog meat trade, with many citizens advocating for its end.
