University expels grad student for torturing, killing dogs

A university in Sichuan province expelled a graduate student from the school for his brutal slaughter of dogs.

Chengdu University of Technology said on Saturday that an online outcry had led the university, along with police, to conduct an investigation that found a postgraduate student at the university, surnamed Zhou, had tortured dogs. The university had strongly criticized the student and expelled him, the announcement said.

On Wednesday, an article published on the internet calling for Zhou's expulsion from the university for torturing, killing, dismembering and eating stray dogs aroused attention online.
