A celebrity dog, Chutou, owned by a travel influencer in China, was allegedly stolen and slaughtered for meat. The incident highlights the lack of robust legal protections for pets in the country, despite some cities banning dog meat consumption. The owner is seeking justice after the dog was reportedly sold to a restaurant.
