Chinese dog farmer gets jail for stealing puppies

A CHINESE dog farmer in Shanghai has been jailed for 14 years for breaking into a local dog breeder’s home, tying her up and stealing 24 puppies, state media said yesterday.

Ge Wei, 32, owner of a farm outside Shanghai, was also deprived of his political rights for four years and fined 20,000 yuan at a Shanghai court on Wednesday.

The court was told Ge set up his dog farm in a Shanghai suburb in 2005.
