Dog Abuse Case in Jieyang, China · Full chronicle and history

On September 16, a man in Changde, Hunan held a street protest carrying a banner printed with cat and dog patterns and slogans such as "Refuse Animal Abuse," calling on society to pay attention to animal protection.

On September 10, five netizens pooled money to commission a local woman to go to the site where Wangwang was murdered in Jieyang, Guangdong, to place food, clear water, and Eustomma for worship, with the offerings placed at the corner of a weedy wall with a Wangwang pattern sticker.

An online store printed Wangwang promotional cards, and netizens netizens shared their orders to call for support: "Need more people like this."

On June 28, 2026, four minors under the age of 14 in Pingpu Village, Xinheng Town, Jiedong District, Jieyang City, Guangdong Province, used wire to strangle and wooden sticks to beat a stray mother dog 'Wangwang' and her three puppies, then poured flammable liquid and set them on fire to burn them alive, subsequently uploading the video of the torture and killing to the internet. On June 30, local officials reported that the involved individuals had not reached the criminal responsibility age, and had been sent to special schools for corrective education. This outcome has sparked strong public questioning regarding the 'too low cost of breaking the law,' and has prompted overseas and domestic Chinese people to initiate global animal protection support actions such as screen projection and mourning, calling for China to establish anti-animal cruelty laws.
