A prominent travel influencer is seeking legal redress after his widely followed canine companion was stolen and killed. The eight‑year‑old Border Collie, known as Chutou, was reportedly taken from a family farm and later sold to a restaurant for meat.
The incident has highlighted the absence of nationwide legal frameworks protecting companion animals in the country. Chutou had built an audience of 1.5 million followers on journeys across diverse landscapes.
