Kim Jong Un literally threw his uncle to the dogs.
The North Korean leader executed his high-ranking uncle by having him stripped, thrown into a cage and eaten alive by 120 starving hounds as the despot himself looked on, the Singaporean Straits Times reports, citing an article in a Hong Kong paper with close ties to China’s ruling Communist Party.
Jang Song Thaek, 67, was dramatically ousted from his position as Kim’s second-in-command last month. Photos showed him being removed from a meeting in Pyongyang of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.

State media labeled him a traitor and “despicable human scum” but never specified how Jang was executed.
Jang was stripped naked and thrown into a cage with the dogs that had been starved for five days as Kim Jong Un himself looked on, according to the report.
Now, the newspaper Wen Wei Po reports that Kim and his brother monitored the gruesome one-hour long execution along with 300 other officials.
Jang and five of his aides were mauled by the 120 hunting dogs that had been starved for five days, according to the Singaporean Straits Times.
North Korean state media labeled "despicable human scum" upon the announcement of his downfall and execution.

North Korea announced Monday, Dec. 9, 2013 it had sacked leader Jang, left, long considered the country's No. 2 power, saying corruption, drug use, gambling, womanizing and generally leading a "dissolute and depraved life" had caused Pyongyang's highest-profile fall from grace since Kim took power two years ago.
Before his stunning downfall, Jang was seen as a moderate influence pushing for more economic engagement with neighboring China.
Jang, who was married to Kim’s paternal aunt, also was thought to serve as a mentor to the all-powerful 30-year-old leader who assumed power only two years ago.
There was no way to confirm the horrific details of the supervillian-style execution.
