A man has threatened to kill one dog every day to protest the spectacular rescue of more than 400 dogs on a highway near Beijing last month and urged people to stop donating money to the dogs.
Zhu Guangbing in southern Guangdong Province asked people to give money to students in underdeveloped areas instead of stray dogs, or he would kill one dog every day in protest. Zhu posted his microblog on Weibo.com, Guangzhou Daily reported today.
Zhu's microblog received overwhelming criticism over the Internet. Netizens launched a cyber-manhunt for him and his personal information has been exposed online. Zhu was forced to quit his job after he was disturbed repeatedly by netizens during work, the report said.
As the pressure mounted, Zhu backtracked a little, promising to give up his dog-killing project if those who blocked the highway to rescue the dogs are willing to apologize for their improper behavior and publish how the donated money is used.
A truck loaded with more than 400 stray dogs was stopped by volunteers on its way to northeast Jilin Province to be butchered for meat. Animal rightists halted the truck and paid 115,000 yuan (US$11,716) to buy all the dogs from the driver and dog vendors.
The rescue mission sparked nationwide debate and some people accused the activists of seriously disrupting highway traffic.
