In March 2025, a mother dog that had recently given birth was reportedly harmed at Lanshan International in Linfen, Shanxi. A Weibo Micro Charity page preserved a description saying that the person involved was suspected to be property-management staff, that the mother dog was put into a sack and beaten with sticks, and that she was seriously injured and separated from her puppies. Volunteers who tried to help were reportedly insulted and provoked by the man involved.

A mother dog after birth

This is not simply a matter of stray-animal management. A mother dog after birth is weak, protective and highly stressed. Any public-space manager should first consider isolation, rescue contact, professional capture and veterinary handling, not sticks and a sack.

When 'rabid dog' becomes a shield

After the incident spread, another dispute followed. Sina News reposted information from the Companion Animal Special Fund saying that some commenters claimed the dog had bitten people, while chat screenshots described her as a 'mad dog' or a dog with rabies. The same information said images taken on March 25, 2025 showed the dog during hospitalization, and that a clinical examination by a professional pet doctor found no rabies-related symptoms.

Rabies is not a label that can be casually attached in a group chat. Public information noted that rabies is a Class A infectious disease in China and must be identified by laboratories designated by agricultural and rural authorities. If there is a safety risk, professional and legal procedures should be used; without evidence, fear cannot replace fact.

Treatment, separation, and public questions

The mother dog later appeared in images from hospital treatment. Public materials do not provide a full treatment result or a clear account of the puppies' later care. Those gaps are precisely why the case should remain visible: who used violence, whether property management bears responsibility, who paid for treatment, and how the puppies were cared for remain legitimate public questions.

Why This Case Is Archived

This archive records the pain of a specific life. Communities may have management rules, but rules must not become cover for violence. Safety concerns cannot outrun fact, evidence and humane procedure.
