Little was known about the way Jang Song Thaek was executed, but rumors concerning him being used as starved dogs' food have now caught more shape. According to an official report, Kim Jong-Un decided to end his uncle's life by throwing him in a cage to be eaten alive.

Just last month, the North Korean leader announced that his uncle, the second most powerful person in the state, was trying to overthrow the government and was sentenced to death.

Everyone assumed it was a standard execution procedure, and were shocked to find out that Kim sentenced his uncle to one of the most barbaric means imagined by society, execution by dogs.

The whole execution lasted for just one hour and almost 300 officials stood and watched the gruesome event. As horrible as it sounds, the brutality of the North Korean dictator is hard to picture in the century we are living in. These kinds of methods were cringe-worthy even back in ancient times, not to mention in today's society.

According to The Straits Times, Jang was undressed and “thrown into a cage with five of his closest aides. Then 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up.” This kind of incredibly brutal execution resembling barbaric methods is called “quan jue” or execution by dogs.

The international community was repulsed by the horrible event and China was in particular bothered by the violent action, because of its alleged association with North Korea's state enemy. The tensions between the two countries are only growing bigger each day.

But China is not the only country disturbed by North Korean leader's horrible actions, as South Korea has just been threatened with war by their northern neighbor via a fax message. Japan and the Unite States are also in guard in case the dictator wakes up in the morning feeling a little bit too confident.
