A man, who claimed he would kill a dog a day in protest at the activists who had stopped a truck en route to a slaughterhouse a month ago, has quit his job amid overwhelming criticism from netizens.

Zhu Guangbing, a former human resources manager in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, threatened he would kill a dog every day from June 1 if animal activists did not give the money they used for rescuing dogs to starving students in underdeveloped areas.

Zhu Guangbing, who up until recently worked as a human resources manager with a jewelry company in Huadu district of Guangzhou, capital city of South China's Guangdong province, threatened he would kill a dog every day if dog rescuers did not give the money they used for rescuing dogs to starving students in underdeveloped areas.

He wrote on his micro blog on May 4 that he would start his killing spree on June 1.

However, netizens initiated a cyber-hunt and his personal information was exposed online.

Zhu was eventually forced to quit his job after netziens started calling him at work.

"I quit the job to prevent people from disturbing the company's business," Zhu said.

"I don't think what he said is wrong. But we agreed with his decision to quit the job due to repeated calls from protesters to the company," an unnamed manager told Guangzhou Daily.

"I am looking for a new job, but I will continue to express my thoughts on the Internet," Zhu said.

It was not the first time that Zhu has received online criticism for his bold opinions.
