Military instructors at Guangzhou Vocational School of Finance and Economics killed and ate a stray dog that the school's students had saved, reports our Chinese-language sister paper Want Daily.
The students freed the dog, which had got its head stuck in a railing at the school, on the afternoon of Jan. 17. While the dog was wandering the campus afterward, four or five military instructors chased the dog to an area near the school's dormitory before capturing it, placing it in a bag and bludgeoning it to death. They then took its body to an isolated area where they cooked and ate the animal with other instructors.
Traces of bamboo clubs and blood were visible at the site, said reporters who visited the school. The reporters also came upon broken wooden tables and benches at the scene that had been chopped up by the instructors fore firewood.
One of the instructors, surnamed Feng, admitted their conduct was "inappropriate." The school is considering its options in response to the incident.
