After More Than a Decade, the Human Flesh Search Engine Is Still Raging Across Chinese Social Media
Whatsonweibo.com ^ | 2/6/18 | Brydon Brancart

While surfing Weibo, a Changsha police officer named Hu Hanlin (@老囧货) recently came across an article titled “Violent Murder of Golden Retriever.” The article discussed a video posted on the afternoon of December 31st, 2017, showing a Changsha police officer bludgeoning a golden retriever. The article caught Hu off guard – it was about him.

As Hu wrote in a January 2nd Weibo post; “I was surprised to find that [the article] included my official position, work photo, name, phone number, and even described me as this event’s perpetrator.” Hu Hanlin is a victim of what has been called the “Human Flesh Search Engine” (renrou sousuo yinqing 人肉搜索引擎), the Chinese term for the phenomenon of netizens distributing the personal information of individuals people feel ‘deserve’ public interest or scorn.

What can a cop do in the face of social media? Not much.

I get the idea that the Chinese are worse than the Muslims.

Beating a golden retriever ? really ?

I find it hard to believe he would beat the poor dog without provocation...

There is usually another side to the story we aren’t being told.

Well, the Chinese are frugal, and shooting them like American law enforcement likes to do costs more money than beating them.

It also tenderizes the meat.

The article had to be excerpted, but it’s much longer with many more examples. There was an even worse example of cruelty to a dog in it. The Chinese still do have little respect for animal life, it seems. Oh, and the police officer wasn’t actually the guilty party. He found himself identified on social media as the perpetrator, but it was a wrongful identification.

Plus, who would they bill for the bullet?

Saw something similar on a Netflix Black Mirror episode a few days ago.

My 10 yr old golden (not the one pictured) remains unamused by this thread content of 'beating a Golden'.

The Communist Party are certainly afraid of this.

They are above the law. This sort of coordination could be used in fighting back against the despotic regime.

I hope so. The article notes that the Chinese government is starting to come down on this, but that people keep doing it anyway. Maybe as long as it’s exposing people for crimes like animal abuse, they don’t really care and actual support it since it gives people an outlet to pursue some justice and some limited “freedom.”

Funny post.

How can you tell the difference between a regular dog and a Rez (Reservation) dog?

Put each one in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. The regular canine should come out tender and moist. The Rez dog will come out with a towel wrapped around his waist saying, "Dang that was a good sweat"
