Animal Abuse Issues

Harbin Sport University was involved in a mass murder of dogs on September 12, 2016. This incident was in supposed preparation of their college's "Anniversary" the following day. The College sent their security guards to poison the dogs at a nearby shelter, leading to the slow agonizing death of all of the shelter's dogs and puppies. The shelter owner and caretaker, only known as Aunt Zhao, was inconsolably distraught at finding all of her strays poisoned. Aunt Zhao had dedicated much of her own time and resources to creating a safe place for these strays, an effort that was quickly undermined by the actions of Harbin Sport University.School guards poison dogs adopted by woman in China
