Taiwan Marine Corps stray dog Xiaobai killing case


In June 2016, a video circulated online in Taiwan showing Marine Corps personnel abusing and killing a stray dog known as Xiaobai. Public summaries identify the related unit as part of the Marine Corps air-defense guard structure. After the video surfaced, three implicated personnel appeared with superiors and bowed in apology.
On June 27, the Navy Command announced disciplinary measures. Public timelines state that Chen Youcai and Zhang Fengyu each received a major demerit, were transferred from their posts, and were referred to the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors Office; Hu Jiawei was confined for ten days, and officers also received disciplinary records.
Around June 28, animal-protection groups and members of the public protested outside the Ministry of National Defense, demanding an apology and accountability. The Liberty Times commentary page preserves a protest image showing demonstrators holding photos of Xiaobai and the accused personnel.
This archive does not use the abuse video or graphic frames. The image used here is a real protest-scene image that records public accountability and institutional response. Case details are bounded by public media summaries and cited encyclopedia entries that list contemporary reports.
