After his dog was stolen, the owner spoke out—but instead of severely punishing the dog thief, the Chinese police showed up at the owner’s door and threatened him, demanding that he delete his posts on the grounds that he was "damaging the city's image."😡

I agree with you 100%!!! Instead of punishing the illegal dog meat traders, the criminals were being rewarded with a windfall. This is not law and order. xitter.gq/iya4cat/status/2118170…

In the evening of 10/27, a heart-wrenching tragedy occurred at Mianyang, Sichuan. A 12-year-old girl—following a conflict with her parent over homework—jumped from the 29th floor; her mother subsequently jumped as well. People have asked: Is homework truly more important than life itself? How many more families must be devastated by this distorted approach to education? ⚡️

TL;DR: WHAT I LEARNED AFTER 6 POSTS ON CHINA’S ANIMAL-CRUELTY LAWS 🇨🇳🐾 I started this series with a simple question: Why does China still have no general national law prohibiting cruelty to companion animals? After six posts and a lot of research, here’s where I landed: 1. This debate is not new. [1] Chinese legal scholars proposed a broad Animal Protection Law around 2009 and a narrower Anti-Animal Cruelty Law in 2010. More than 15 years later, the central national legal gap remains. 2. The problem is not that nobody has proposed change. [2] Animal-protection proposals have repeatedly surfaced but failed to become national legislative priorities. Officials have cited existing laws, enforcement challenges, industries and social practices. Even when the public-security law was revised in 2025, a general cruelty offence was not added. 3. When serious cruelty happens, authorities can sometimes act, but often through laws protecting something else. [3] Property. Public safety. Public order. Dangerous conduct. In cases from Chongqing to Beijing, the conduct could sometimes be reached legally. But the cruelty to the animal itself was not the offence. 4. Strays expose the limits of that system most clearly. [4] If an animal has no owner, there may be no property interest to protect. Some Chinese cities directly prohibit abusing dogs, showing that anti-cruelty rules are not foreign to Chinese law. But those protections are local, often dog-specific, and do not amount to nationwide protection for companion animals. 5. Meanwhile, parts of Chinese society appear to be moving faster than national law. [5] An issue officially described in 2020 as an “extremely small minority phenomenon” has since generated enormous online mobilisation, repeated NPC proposals, protests and sustained advocacy. China has strengthened national law to protect people from animals. It still has not created equivalent national protection for animals from severe cruelty by people. 6. Closing the gap does not require solving every animal-welfare debate at once. [6] A realistic first step could be much narrower: A national rule covering owned and ownerless companion animals that explicitly prohibits severe and unnecessary cruelty, with administrative penalties and stronger criminal consequences for the worst cases. Chinese local laws and national proposals already provide many of the building blocks. So after all of this, my conclusion is pretty simple: China does have laws involving animals. What it still lacks is a general national rule recognising severe cruelty to an ordinary companion animal as a legal wrong in itself. Not because someone owns the animal. Not because a human was endangered. Because the cruelty itself is wrong. The legal gap is real. And it is fixable.

💔 HIS NAME WAS FIRESTAR. PLEASE REMEMBER HIM. Firestar was a beautiful orange tabby cat. In one of the last images of his life, he is lying inside a microwave, one paw bound, looking directly at the camera. I can’t get over the fear in his eyes. His torturer turned it on for four minutes. Then, while Firestar was still dying, he electrocuted him. Another cat, Tigerstar, was tied up nearby. His reflection was visible in the microwave door as he watched what happened. Then the same thing was done to him. I cannot stop thinking about what these two innocent animals must have experienced. The terror. The agony. The complete helplessness. There is one piece of hopeful news. Thanks to the extraordinary persistence of animal protection activists, the man identified as their killer, Luo Fanghong, is reportedly now in police custody. But China still has no national law directly criminalizing cruelty to companion animals. Whether he faces meaningful punishment remains uncertain. Firestar and Tigerstar deserved warmth, safety, affection and long, happy lives. Instead, they suffered unimaginable cruelty at the hands of a monster (who also tortured many more animals). And what happened to them is just the tip of the iceberg in China, where lack of animal cruelty laws has spawned a proliferation of animal torture networks. We cannot bring them back. But we can fight for a world where what happened to them is a serious crime, with serious consequences. Please remember their names. 🕯️❤️ Thank you to @Project_NoMore and the brave Chinese activists who refuse to let these victims be forgotten.
