A woman identified only by her surname, Fu, told local media and posted a blog post online about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/11\/15\/report-chinese-communists-beat-quarantined-womans-corgi-death\/\">killing<\/a> of her pet corgi by Shangrao health workers disinfecting her apartment to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Fu was away from her home at the time because she and all of her fellow residents had been ordered by Shangrao authorities to enter a state-run quarantine camp on November 11 after city health workers allegedly detected a single new case of coronavirus at the housing complex.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFu \u2026 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>WSJ<em>)<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/china-left-in-shock-following-brutal-killing-of-corgi-during-covid-19-disinfection-11636990026\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;November 15, citing a local media report from Shangrao.<\/p>\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>Chinese society has been slow to adopt the pet culture common in the West, where dogs and cats are often beloved as extended family members. Domesticated animals such as dogs are still technically classified as \u201clivestock\u201d across much of China. Southern China\u2019s Yulin city is infamous for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsi.org\/news-media\/slaughter-truck-packed-with-terrified-dogs-headed-to-yulin-dog-meat-festival-intercepted-by-chinese-activists\/\">hosting<\/a> an annual \u201csummer solstice dog meat-eating\u201d festival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPet dogs, especially expensive breeds such as corgis, have grown in popularity as status symbols and companions among China\u2019s middle class and wealthy urbanites.
