Chinese dog thieves get their comeuppance as duo are caught and savagely beaten for drugging and stealing pets FOR FOOD | Mail Online

Two Chinese men caught stealing dogs to sell to restaurants were savagely beaten by a vigilante mob after they stole four pets while in a southern village.

The two men are accused of several pet dog thefts in and around Guilin City in southern China's Guangxi Autonomous Region, which they would sell as meat to cafes and eateries.

However, when the pair was caught red-handed by one angry villager, it did not take long before a large crowd was attacking them with bricks and bats, beating them bloody.

Dog meat has been used for human consumption in China for centuries, where it is thought to have medicinal properties, and is especially popular in winter months where it is thought to generate heat and keep the body warm.

Dog meat is especially popular in Guangdong and Guangxi where there are even dog meat festivals every year.
