Her name meant “woof woof.”
On June 28, 2026, a stray dog named Wang Wang (汪汪) and her three puppies were tortured and burned alive by five children in Jieyang, China. No one was charged — because no national law says this is a crime.

Wang Wang's case file just got one letter heavier. Thank you.

What happened
The record
- Date
- June 28, 2026
- Location
- Pingpu Village, Jiedong District, Jieyang, Guangdong, China
- Victims
- Wang Wang (汪汪), a stray mother dog, and her three puppies
- What happened
- The puppies were beaten with spiked poles; Wang Wang was tortured and burned alive. The abuse was filmed and shared online, sparking outrage across China and internationally.
- Who
- Five boys, approximately 12 years old
- Legal outcome
- No criminal charges — the children were below China's age of criminal responsibility (14). On June 30, 2026, local authorities announced they were sent to a "corrective education" school instead.
- The gap
- China has no comprehensive national law against cruelty to companion animals — so there was no charge available to bring, regardless of age.
The ask
A law with teeth
Prohibit cruelty to animals nationwide, with real, enforceable penalties — not a patchwork of local guidance.
Build in accountability for minors who commit acts of cruelty: psychological evaluation and corrective measures proportionate to what happened, not a pass because of age.
Criminalize filming and distributing animal-torture content, which is spreading online faster than any single case can be prosecuted.
Demands informed by public statements from the International Organization for Animal Protection (OIPA) and Human Rights Watch following the case. Sources at the bottom of this page.
