On October 24, at Mynttorget square in Stockholm's Old Town, Sweden, people held a rally for the stray mother dog "Wangwang" and her puppies, who were brutally killed in Jieyang, Guangdong. They laid flowers and candles and held banners urging China to immediately pass anti-animal-abuse laws. "Boycott China" signs appeared at the scene, and participants pointed out that the abusers remain at large while animal rights advocates have been silenced.
