== Alleged illegal activities ==
According to a report compiled by animal welfare volunteers, Wei Geng Hui is accused of the following illegal acts, which he documented and shared online.

=== Illegal hunting of protected wildlife ===
Wei is accused of directing his packs of fierce dogs to hunt and kill various wild animals, including hares, weasels, wild boars, and wild birds.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" /> These are classified as "three-have" animals (三有动物), which are protected under Chinese law due to their ecological, scientific, or social value. He allegedly filmed these illegal hunts and posted the videos online, violating China's Wildlife Protection Law.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" />

=== Attacks on domestic animals ===
The complaint alleges that Wei repeatedly used his dogs to attack and kill domestic animals in his area, including pet cats, pet dogs, and free-range poultry like ducks and geese.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" /> These acts were filmed and shared online to attract attention and traffic to his social media accounts, which constitutes the dissemination of violent and cruel content.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" />[[File:Wei Geng Hui animal abuse content.jpg|none|thumb|600x600px|Graphic animal abuse content posted by Wei on social media.]]
=== Endangering public safety ===
Wei is accused of regularly letting his large, unleashed fierce dogs run loose in public areas, including farmlands and public roads.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" /> Videos allegedly show the dogs trampling crops and running wildly on roads with active traffic, posing a significant threat to drivers and pedestrians.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" />

=== False advertising ===
On August 15, 2025, Wei's corporate Douyin account, 《辉煌犬业》 (Huihuang Kennels), posted a video claiming to have shipped "59 hounds to a laboratory in Jiangxi."<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" /> According to China's Regulations on the Management of Laboratory Animals, any animal supplied for experimental use must come from a facility with a specific production license. A search of the official Shandong government service portal showed that Wei's company does not hold such a license. The claim is therefore alleged to be false advertising intended to mislead the public.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" />

== Evasion of responsibility and prior warnings ==
After his activities were widely exposed online by activists starting on September 26, 2025, Wei Geng Hui filed for a "simplified deregistration" of his company, 山东小魏宠物用品有限公司 (Shandong Xiao Wei Pet Products Co., Ltd.), on September 28.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" /> Activists allege this was an attempt to evade legal and civil liability.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" />

Crucially, this was not Wei's first encounter with authorities. According to a video he posted on March 30, 2024, law enforcement officers had previously visited his kennel. In the post's caption, he explicitly stated, "This time I'm really changing, I'm quitting the circle," making a public promise to reform. However, his continued posting of violent content after this date demonstrates a willful disregard for the law and his prior commitment.<ref name="volunteer_report_20251008" />
