Shocking incidents of animal abuse reported from across the globe have been triggering outrage. But how far can mob fury be justified as a response to alleged crimes against pets?

China has been in the news for shocking incidents of canines being beaten and killed, but a shocking footage shows an alleged abuser facing mob justice. The video shows a woman allegedly caught poisoning a dog being tied to a gate and thrashed.

It was reported that the woman wanted to sell the dead animal’s meat. Villagers shamed her by placing the dead dog on her shoulders.
