A woman shop owner in northeastern China who adopted stray dogs from rescue groups, then killed and cooked them, has triggered a wave of outrage.

An animal shelter in Liaoning province recently received multiple reports from concerned dog lovers.

Whistleblowers claimed a local grain and oil wholesaler was taking in stray dogs then making a soup out of them.

According to the mainland media outlet Jimu News, the woman, who uses the alias Zhixuan, contacted shelter staff via messaging apps asking about free adoptions.

She promises to care for the canines and agrees to follow-up visits, then takes them home.
