A market shopper beat five puppies to death after one of them bit him.

The man had picked up a dog from a stall to show the young woman he was with.

When it nipped his hand, his companion laughed and he flew into a rage.

A passer-by photographed him killing the animals by hitting them on the floor.


The woman said she started filming when she saw the man shouting at the elderly owner of the market stall, demanding compensation for his injury.

‘When the old woman said she didn’t have any money to pay him he announced that they were dangerous beasts and he was going to make sure they didn’t bite anyone else, and he then grabbed them one by one and bashed them on the ground to kill them,’ she said.



‘The woman he was with was begging him not to lose his temper and to calm down but he didn’t care. The old woman was also horrified that she could hardly do anything to stop him. And everyone else just stood there.’

Despite the images being circulated throughout China the man has so far not been identified and police in Jinan, Shangdong province, say they will not hunt for him unless the stallholder makes a report.
