A restaurant in the famous San Francisco Chinatown was visited this morning by the SFPD and federal agents, after an investigation showed the owners regularly killed dogs they found in the neighborhood and served them to customers.
Agents of both the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) accompanied the police officers who searched “White Lotus Royal Buffet“, looking for dog meat.
Large quantities of dog meat were found on the site and taken to a forensic lab to be analyzed.
According to the SFPD spokesman the owner of the restaurant, Tengdo Hueng, admitted snatching dogs from the area with his 16-year old son and killing them for meat.
“We Have Found The Remains Of At Least Six Different Dogs, And Three Of Them Correspond To Dogs That Were Reported Stolen Over The Last Two Weeks.” Most of the neighborhood’s telephone poles have been covered with posters of various missing dogs for more than a year. In the neighborhoods of Chinatown stray dogs have been going missing for years, but pet dogs have also begun going missing. On January 27, the day before Chinese New Year, a total of 12 dogs were reported missing.
Over the following few months, more animals vanished, and stories of a “serial dog killer” started to spread.
A mile from the restaurant, more than 150 dogs vanished in 2021, and over 100 did so in the first three months of 2022, according to the Humane Society of New York.
The accused and his kid, according to the authorities, could have murdered hundreds of dogs while hunting them with nets, lassos, and rudimentary spears.
According to the SNPD, the owner of the restaurant has long been slaughtering and cooking stray animals, but as his business grew, he was forced to start stealing dogs right out of their owners’ backyards.
The authorities have only been able to accuse Mr. Hueng of killing 11 animals despite the enormous number of missing animals.
He now faces up to 95 years in prison and a total of 47 criminal accusations. In June, he should show up in court.
“Boney Beagle” ?
My Grandfather was a Marine in WWII. He was stationed in China, and after the GI’s arrived all the dogs disappeared, but the GI’s were eating steak. My Grandfather figured he was eating dog.
This is satire or completely fake news. I vote for the latter. There are two versions of the same story, one in NYC and one SF. There is no “White Lotus Royal Buffet“ in San Francisco or NYC, according to Yelp.

Are they pet-friendly?
So they were just a dog wokking service?
A health department inspection at a local Chinese restaurant found the plucked and dressed corpses of seagulls. They were closed for awhile. The defintion of edible protein seems to vary by culture.

Lol....
I shouldn’t even be asking, but I wonder which are the most popular breeds of dogs for human consumption?
Americans are not supposed to be asking such questions.
Unfortunately, the typical Pit Bull would probably have too much muscle, and produce a rather tough meat.
Their bones would likely produce a nutritious broth, and a lot of tallow; nature’s version of Crisco shortning.
Tallow has been used as skin balm for generations.
Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown
My favorite chinese restaurant in Gainesville Ga was busted a few years after I moved away. The new food inspector found 22 frozen cats in the freezer. The owner swore he only served them to special customers upon request. The place was closed down immediately, and I couldn’t eat Chinese for about two years after reading about it.
Yes, that one has the same. It’d amazing they just picked up their restaurant and moved it to SF. But I am glad the NY Humane Society was relentless and tracked them down.
The Wuhan Institute started it.
How about Chow Chow Mein?
Like rice-a-roni, the San Francisco treat.
Hey, at least they don’t use MSG.
No restaurant can be purrfect.
why I don’t eat Chinese food.
Glad I don’t go there any more. -— But ——— in times past?????
One of the few cities on earth where dogs have to worry about stepping in human feces.
