One of the unidentified health workers is seen brandishing an iron crowbar at the dog. The same worker then strikes the corgi&nbsp;forcefully in its face with the iron rod. The dog tries to shield himself behind the table\u2019s legs, but the two workers move the dining table so that the dog has nowhere to hide. The dog is next pictured trying to escape to an adjacent room of the apartment and soon runs out of frame.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Warning \u2013 Graphic Images:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u8650\u5f85\u5bf5\u7269\uff5c\u9632\u75ab\u54e1\u6d88\u6bd2\u8b8a\u6253\u72d7  \u6c5f\u897f\u9694\u96e2\u7db2\u6c11\u6182\u5bf5\u7269\u88ab\u6bba #POP\u65b0\u805e #POPNEWS #\u6c5f\u897f #\u5bf5\u7269 #\u9632\u75ab\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yyX0pFpkNrE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a video interview with a local media outlet, the dog\u2019s owner, identified only by her surname Fu, said she witnessed the beating through an app on her phone connected to her home security camera and used a speaker embedded in the camera to beg the workers to leave her dog alone, but her pleas were ignored,\u201d the <em>Wall Street Journal <\/em>(<em>WSJ<\/em>) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/china-left-in-shock-following-brutal-killing-of-corgi-during-covid-19-disinfection-11636990026\">relayed<\/a> on November 15.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cMs. Fu said she heard the dog crying off-camera and later saw the workers carrying a yellow bag away after the whimpers stopped. Blood could be seen on the ground afterward, she said,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>Fu uploaded the tragic video footage of her beloved pet corgi\u2019s final moments to Weibo, China\u2019s government-controlled Twitter-like microblogging platform, on November 12 as part of her personal account of the incident. In an accompanying text statement,&nbsp;Fu reportedly wrote that Shangrao city authorities ordered all residents of her apartment complex to enter a coronavirus quarantine at a nearby hotel without their pets late on November 11. The edict came after city health officials detected a single new case of coronavirus at Fu\u2019s residential compound. Fu said she \u201cconfirmed with community staff several times that her dog wouldn\u2019t be taken away or killed,\u201d according to <em>WSJ<\/em>. The owner added that she tested negative for coronavirus while in mandatory quarantine. There has been no indication by either Fu or the Shangrao city government that Fu\u2019s pet corgi was ever tested for coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>Video footage of the corgi\u2019s horrific beating circulated heavily on Chinese social media from November 12 through November 13, garnering a high volume of both views and criticism. Shangrao\u2019s municipal government <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/chinese-city-apologized-employee-beat-110013096.html\">responded<\/a> to the backlash by issuing a statement via its official Weibo account on the night of November 13. The press release said the unidentified health worker seen striking the dog with a crowbar had been relieved of his post.<\/p>\n<p>After offering Fu a perfunctory apology for the incident, Shangrao\u2019s government claimed the municipal workers entered the woman\u2019s apartment to disinfect her home in an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The statement coldly detailed how the health staff enacted a \u201charmless disposal\u201d of Fu\u2019s pet corgi. The term in Mandarin \u201ccould also be translated as \u2018handling [something] to be made harmless,&#8217;\u201d What\u2019s On Weibo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatsonweibo.com\/online-outrage-after-pet-dog-gets-killed-by-anti-epidemic-workers-in-shangrao\/\">noted<\/a> on November 14.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese health officials have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/11\/12\/chinese-communist-officials-killing-cats-of-quarantined-coronavirus-patients\/\">killed<\/a> or allegedly killed the pets of people forcibly detained in state-run coronavirus quarantines on at least two other occasions in recent weeks, though Weibo is rife with allegations that city workers have killed several other pets under similar circumstances.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_18396890\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"34\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/October-20.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18396890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/October-20.jpeg\" alt=\"A resident undergoes a nucleic acid test for the coronavirus in Xian in China&#039;s northern Shaanxi province on October 20, 2021.
