Beheading of kitten sparks online outrage

A young woman who killed and dismembered a kitten and posted the bloody pictures on the Internet has infuriated Chinese netizens.

Li Pingping, a former marketing consultant at Chengzi Culture Communication Co in Huizhou, Guangdong province, beheaded a kitten in her bathroom on Friday, less than two weeks after she purchased it. Li posted the pictures of the dismembered cat that night on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter.

As the photos went viral, netizens unleashed a flurry of comments decrying the brutal act, with many calling the woman "insane" and "out of her mind".
