China Live Streams Dogs' Teeth Pulled
CantBeNews Hot Take:
Why this news story "can't be news"? Well, let’s break it down with the seriousness it deserves (not). First of all, we’re talking about a live-streamed event where dogs were having their teeth pulled out. Without anaesthesia. Now, think about that for a moment—like pulling teeth without any painkillers at all! It's like someone said, "Hey, let’s make this even more painful and awkward by streaming it on the internet!" Because hey, what could go wrong when you're showcasing animal cruelty to an audience of literal strangers? Plus, they’re doing it live—because who doesn’t love a good teeth-pulling reality show? But here's the kicker: The whole thing was allegedly part of some ancient ritual to ward off evil spirits. Yeah, we all know how effective that is—especially since evil spirits probably don’t even have time to read your Instagram bio before deciding whether or not they want to haunt you. I mean, if this were a proper exorcism, wouldn’t they just use sage and maybe some candles? Instead, they go for the “Let’s make dogs suffer!” route because… tradition? Tradition is great when it involves sushi rolls or fireworks. Not so much when it involves live-streamed dentistry on innocent animals. Now, let's talk about the audience reaction: One viewer named Meng initially thought she was being duped into buying fake products online—like some cheap knockoff teeth—but then realized, "Wait a second… these are real teeth!" Real. Dog. Teeth. From actual living creatures who probably just wanted to eat some kibble and chase squirrels instead of having their gums torn apart by someone with questionable dentistry skills. But no worries! The host was so professional that they extracted one tooth every time someone placed an order during the stream. It’s like a teeth-pulling assembly line—order now, get your evil-warding chompers shipped to you in two to three weeks! And let's not forget the sellers’ justification: "Older dogs' teeth are more valuable because they're better at protecting against bad luck." Sure, because nothing says “good fortune” like a tooth extracted from an old dog who probably just wanted to die peacefully in their sleep. I guess evil spirits are terrified of dental hygiene—so much so that they avoid any house with even one stray canine tooth lying around. Oh, and by the way? This isn’t China’s first foray into questionable animal treatment. The annual Dog Meat Festival is a regular highlight on the calendar, where dogs are kept in cramped cages before being slaughtered for consumption. It's like a yearly reminder that some cultures think "dog meat" sounds way more appetizing than “man’s best friend.” Meanwhile, after Covid-19 (which many believe originated from bats—animals that actually do have teeth but probably not the kind you’d want in your soup), China is under pressure to rethink its relationship with animals. But hey, tradition dies hard, especially when it involves boiling dogs alive or pulling their teeth out while they’re conscious. So yes, this news story "can’t be news" because we all know that live-streamed animal cruelty rituals are just part of the fabric of modern life now—right up there with TikTok dances and cat videos. It’s like the internet has finally found its niche: a mix of horror shows and educational content on how to make your home evil-proof… one dog tooth at a time!
