She was so horrified that she decided to find the man and tell him what he had done was wrong.

As the WeChat post claimed the man was a worker at the Jiujiang Power Supply Station, she traveled there with other animal activists and asked staff if they knew him.

She eventually tracked him down, and claims he said he had burned the puppy because he like to eat dog meat.

Ms Jin added that it ‘is the second time’ he has killed a dog.

An argument reportedly broke out between the man and the activists, and police were called.

Officers from Changhong Police station reportedly took the two parties back to the station for questioning. They were later released.
