Police in East China said a man slashed the throat of a woman's pet dog after he caught it mating with his purebred Labrador to "teach it a lesson," reported the Chongqing Morning News.

Shocking video emerged online showing the woman holding the body of her pet dog, Hanzi, in her Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province home on Friday morning.

"[Hanzi] ran back home with his throat bleeding," said the grieving owner surnamed Jie."I immediately asked my husband to send it to the hospital. But as soon as he left, Hanzi breathed for the last time."

Jie said she followed the trail of blood to the home of the man, surnamed Tan.

After confronting him, Jie called police.

Tan said he committed the brutal act because he was upset his dog would have mixed-breed puppies.

"So I decided to teach the dog a lesson." Tan told police.

Tan admitted to first strangling the dog with a piece of wire before slashing its throat. To his surprise, Hanzi got up and ran off.

Following police mediation, Tan agreed to pay Jie 2,000 yuan ($290) in compensation for her loss.

Social media users showed no mercy for Tan, calling for stricter animal protection laws.

"That dog is still a dog, but he isn't human anymore," wrote "Beifangyinan2017."
