BEIJING, KOMPAS.com – One dog kind of german shepherd in China had been forced by the owner to eat a bowl of snacks with red chilies during a live broadcast themed on the pet food party, which was busy at social media over there.
Launch Daily Mail on Thursday (17/09/2020) a new video trend emerged in China, after the government cracked down on people conducting online dining events over the country’s national campaign to curb food waste.
Before President Xi launched his “Empty Plate Operation” against food waste last August, Chinese social media users were enjoying watching the video of “Chibo”, or Mukbang, a popular online phenomenon originating in South Korea.

Then, broadly translated as “meal broadcast”, a sound or activity of people consuming excessive amounts of food in a live broadcast accompanied by interactions with their viewers.
However, China since August has banned people from sharing this type of content, prompting pet owners to take advantage of the situation by sharing videos of animals overeating with unusual foods and treats.
A gruesome footage shows a german shepherd being forced by its owner to eat a spicy dish called La Zi Ji, or Chongqing Chilli Chicken, a regional dish known for its very spicy taste, on camera.

Another said, “These people are very sick! They need to be censored immediately!”
A third netizen wrote, “Jeez, can’t you see her crying? How can you record her eating chilies while watching her cry and in pain?”
