A restaurant was exposed by concerned social media users for serving dog meat from dogs that were barbecued alive in China’s Shandong Province.

Though original videos were posted by the restaurant’s owner in March, social media users exposed the restaurant’s cooking methods on May 15, according to various Chinese media news outlets. The post said the restaurant described the meat as “Live Barbecued Dog,” and “Live Skinned Dog.”
