Brickbat: Dog Gone

In China, the government of the city of Huizhou has apologized after public health workers beat a woman’s dog to death and promised the workers will be counseled and suspended. After her boyfriend was tested for COVID-19 by her boyfriend, the woman had to be quarantined and was forbidden from bringing her dog along to work. Two health officials were dispatched to her home in an attempt to disinfect it. Two workers are seen putting the dog into a room, beating him with sticks and metal rods. Initialy, the dog whines and moans. The dog eventually becomes quiet and stops moving.
