Cyanide Found in Dog Meat Sold to Restaurants, Zhejiang Court Hears

(Beijing) – A group of people allegedly ran a business selling meat from dogs that were poisoned – sometimes with cyanide – then stolen and sold to restaurants over two years, prosecutors said during a trial in the eastern province of Zhejiang.

Seventeen people aged from 31 to 74 stood trial on August 25 and 26 in the city of Fenghua on charges of illegal production and sales of toxic and hazardous food. It was unclear what pleas the 17 entered, and no verdict was announced.
