In April 2023, food influencer Xu Mouhui, known online as “Jack Latiao,” drew broad public outrage over a cat-abuse case. Funan police said that on March 15, Xu abused a cat in a small wooded area in Lucheng Town, filmed the act, and shared the video in a QQ group. The video spread online, drew condemnation from internet users and animal-protection advocates, and caused serious negative social impact. Police imposed administrative detention. Media reports also relayed online allegations of long-term capture, killing, video circulation and sale. On May 5, Funan authorities revoked his “Funan Good Person” special award.

Abuse confirmed by police

Funan police confirmed the core facts: cat abuse, filming and sharing in a QQ group, public spread, social condemnation and administrative detention.

This archive does not reproduce the abuse video. It records the nature of the confirmed conduct because cruelty and intentional circulation are central to the case.

Online allegations of a wider abuse chain

Media reports relayed online allegations that Xu had used extremely cruel methods, captured stray cats, filmed abuse videos and circulated or sold them. These details are recorded as media-reported online allegations, not as separately confirmed police findings.

Even the confirmed police facts already cross the basic line; the persistent online allegations explain why the case generated such strong public anger.

Revoked honor and platform consequences

Xu had previously received a “Funan Good Person” special award. On May 5, 2023, Funan authorities revoked that honor and recovered related materials.

Reports also said his social-media accounts were banned and his agency ended cooperation. Such consequences cannot protect the harmed cats retroactively, but they show that public evaluation cannot tolerate cruelty to vulnerable lives.

Putting the harmed animals at the center

This case should not be reduced to an influencer scandal. The center is the cats that were abused, filmed and circulated as content.

Turning suffering into performance and trade is a direct assault on basic compassion. The facts themselves are enough to show why this conduct deserves clear criticism.
