In April 2023, Hohhot police investigated a case involving Li Moumou’s production and sale of toxic and harmful food after receiving public tips. A publicly reposted “Safe Inner Mongolia” typical case said police arrested one suspect and seized more than seven tons of dog carcasses and processing equipment. The case stated that Li illegally obtained succinylcholine and cyanide, then killed stray dogs and owned dogs with crossbow poison darts and cyanide-laced wax pellets before processing and selling the meat.

A chain from killing dogs to selling meat

The reposted report said that on December 29, 2023, “Safe Inner Mongolia” released typical cases from public-security work against food and drug safety crimes, including the Hohhot case against Li Moumou for producing and selling toxic and harmful food.

The case was not merely about theft or sale. The typical case said Li illegally obtained succinylcholine and cyanide, used crossbows and poison darts, and fed cyanide-laced wax pellets to kill stray and owned dogs. The bodies were then roughly processed and sold to different places.

More than seven tons of dog carcasses

The report said police seized more than seven tons of dog carcasses and processing equipment at the scene. This weight cannot be converted into a specific number of dogs, but it indicates a scaled chain of killing, processing and sales rather than an isolated act.

For the dogs, this was not ordinary death; it was life taken by poison darts and toxic bait. For public safety, dogs containing succinylcholine, cyanide or related toxins entering food circulation also turned animal cruelty into a food-safety danger.

Why this case is recorded

This case links animal harm, theft or capture of dogs, illegal dangerous substances and the sale of toxic food. It harmed stray dogs and may also have harmed owned family dogs, while turning animal death into a profit chain.

This archive records the non-humaneness of using poison and crossbows to kill dogs and move their bodies into commerce. Stray or owned, dogs should not become expendable targets under poison darts and toxic pellets.
