I don’t even know how to put this pain into words.
Over the past few days, millions of people across China have been heartbroken over a horrifying case of animal cruelty in Jieyang, Guangdong.
For anyone outside China who hasn’t heard about what happened:
According to widely circulated videos and eyewitness accounts shared online, a mother dog and her four newborn puppies were brutally abused by four juveniles.
The videos appear to show the puppies never fighting back or posing any threat. Instead, they desperately tried to hide beside their mother, trembling in fear and desperately searching for somewhere—anywhere—that might keep them safe from the relentless violence.
The mother dog also appeared to stay with her puppies instead of running away, even as she was being beaten and exposed to fire. Many people who watched the videos believe she chose to remain beside her babies, instinctively protecting them until the very end.
Watching those scenes broke something inside me.
The heartbreaking footage spread rapidly across Chinese social media, triggering an enormous wave of grief, anger, and outrage. Animal rescuers, volunteers, and concerned citizens traveled from different parts of China to Jieyang hoping to rescue any surviving dogs, preserve evidence, and urge local authorities to conduct a thorough investigation.
However, instead of the transparency people hoped for, many were left with even more questions. According to numerous people who were present, access to the village was restricted, visitors were questioned, and many felt they were being prevented from independently understanding what had happened. Official statements released afterward were met with widespread skepticism online, and public calls for accountability and a transparent investigation have only continued to grow.
I have cried until I couldn’t breathe.
I couldn’t focus at work. Every time I closed my eyes, I thought about what those innocent animals must have gone through in their final moments—the fear, the confusion, the unbearable pain, and the desperate hope that someone, anyone, would come to save them.
No living being deserves that.
What hurts even more is the feeling of helplessness.
We donate. We rescue. We speak up. We report. We sign petitions. We do everything ordinary people can do.
Yet cruelty continues.
Many people outside China may not realize that China still does not have a comprehensive national animal cruelty law protecting companion animals. As a result, many severe abuse cases end with little meaningful legal accountability, leaving both animals and the public without justice.
Animals cannot speak for themselves.
They rely entirely on us.
This is not about politics. This is not about culture. Cruelty is cruelty, no matter where it happens. Compassion should never have borders.
If you are reading this, I ask you for one thing:
Please don’t look away.
Please share their story. Help keep international attention on cases like this. Public attention can make a difference. It can encourage transparency, accountability, and remind the world that these lives mattered.
To every innocent puppy who died before ever getting the chance to experience love…
To the mother dog who, according to the videos, never abandoned her babies even in the face of unimaginable suffering…
I’m so sorry.
You deserved warmth.
You deserved safety.
You deserved kindness.
You deserved a life surrounded by love.
Instead, your final moments were filled with terror.
I will never forget you.
And I will never stop speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Please don’t let the world forget them.

Wang Wang was a gentle stray living under a drain.

Wang Wang was only 1 year old and she had three puppies. Litter Size: Three puppies, which were approximately two weeks old at the time of the widely reported incident in Jieyang, Guangdong, China.

Sunday, June 28, 2026. Four minors came up and started beating the puppies. Wang Wang could have run away but she stayed for her babies. They just killed her puppies in front of her. They beat them, crushed their skulls, I’m lost for words. Wang Wang just stood in the drain helplessly and looking away silently.

The boys were confused and amused why she hasn’t run away. Actually Wang Wang’s maternal instincts drove her to stay and shield her puppies. She refused to leave and it annoyed these boys.

So the boys set her on fire. She was running around and the boys were laughing and filming. They were even saying things like “It smells good” “Why isn’t she dead yet?”

It was long and painful minutes before she finally stopped running. Her fur and skin were all burnt. (when I watched the vid, I had to pause because it was very disturbing) She licked her dead puppies. In her final moments, she didn’t use her last strength to run away but check on her babies.

I saw the video last night and I couldn’t sleep all night he. I finally tried to sleep at 4, 4:30 am and I dreamt about these innocent babies. Wang Wang was a baby herself. They did not deserve this brutal death. It just makes me so shocked, confused and disgusted about how humans can be this detached and cruel.

The village has bad history of beating pets for content and money. They do not think the boys did anything wrong! It was just another Sunday for them!!!!

Now the whole China and the world is speaking out. The government tries to hush the news but netizens keep on spreading. So, I’m doing the same. China seriously needs animal protection laws. People do not have morals or empathy so the solution is strict law enforcement on animal cruelty. I’ve watched Undercover Asia about how China treats the pets and how the police do nothing about it. It’s a very dark and heavy episode, you can go and watch for free.

As a dog owner and a pet sitter, I feel so heavy and helpless. I would think what if my baby Lola was instead of Wang Wang? No one stepped up to protect this mama dog and her puppies. I just feel so helpless and so angry. There is no justice. There is no real punishment for these evil murderers. All I can do and all we can do is keep on sharing awareness and pressuring China government to enforce animal protection laws.

P.S. I have footage filmed by the boys, you can request me in dms. But it’s very very distressing and graphic.
