Chinese health workers dressed in hazmat suits executed a corgi under the name pandemic protocols, while Covid quarantine was underway for the dog’s pet owner.
After entering Shangrao, a home in the southeastern Jiangxi region on Friday afternoon, the government officers beat the head of the animal with a barbell. This shocking footage was captured by shocked witnesses.
Fu was the corgi owner and was being forced to quarantine her dog in a hotel nearby. Fu is positive for Covid, but the dog has never been tested.
Chinese health personnel wearing hazmat suits performed a corgi while Covid quarantine was being conducted on the dog.
This was just the latest instance of China’s harrowing efforts to attain Zero Covid.
Fu was ordered from her residence to move after the discovery of positive cases.
Two pandemic workers entered the living room with a bag and a crowbar just hours later.
Hear one of the men asking, “Did the leader tell us that we should settle this right now?”
One responds, “Yes.”
The corgi, which was hiding underneath a table, is then approached by him and hit it with the crowbar. It whimpers and runs into another room.
A shocking video of Friday’s government officers beating the animal’s head in Shangrao province, in southeastern Jiangxi on Friday shows the horrifying incident.
China has gone to great lengths to attain Zero Covidence. This latest instance was the killing.
This video, which was taken by the owner of the dog, shows the moments just before his death.
Officials from the District Government claimed that workers were given instructions to disinfect the property, but had to apologize to Fu for performing the ‘decontamination treatment on the dog.
The question of whether they followed orders to put the dog to death is still open.
As the Delta strain continues to spread, Chinese officials are being pressured to stop rising infections.
It is estimated that approximately 1,300 cases were reported so far in the two-thirds (or a third) of all provinces.
This execution has caused debate over the harsh methods used to eradicate the virus and animal rights.
This video, which was sent by the owner of the corgi, shows the moments just before the death.
The complex’s residents were all ordered to be placed in quarantine and left their pets at home.
Fu stated that employees had repeated their promise to Fu not to take her dog with them.
She wrote in a since-deleted post: ‘The dog tried to avoid the beating and fled into the bedroom, and therefore it wasn’t recorded by surveillance camera, but (I) could hear faint wails.
“They said that they had dealt with the problem and they would remove it, holding in their hands a yellow plastic bag.
“Even now, I don’t even know if my dog’s alive or dead and where it’s been taken.”
The local government stated that the dog had been killed to disinfect the area after she left.
The workers added that the dogs had been’safely removed’ without communicating with their owners.
Chinese authorities have been under increasing pressure to reduce the spread of Delta-related infections.
According to local authorities, the owners have asked for an apology from both of them and they were immediately removed.
Fu claimed that she was pressured to delete the posts by both her employer and government officials.
Three cats from China died in September after they tested positive for the virus. Again, this was without their consent.
While some animals have become infected with the virus via human contact, it is not clear if they are contributing to its spread.
As part of the Zero Covid strategy, the Chinese Communist Party has taken action to combat outbreaks. They have locked down whole neighbourhoods and forced them to quarantine.
Beijing does not have a Covid policy on pets. Some local authorities allow owners to bring their animals into quarantine, while others require stricter measures.
The corgi’s death has sparked outrage, with the hashtag #IspeakupfortheCorgiinShangrao trending online in protest against the killing.
