In late June 2026, three celebrities from Greater China spoke out about a case in Jieyang, Guangdong, in which a mother dog and her newborn puppies were brutally killed by minors.
🇭🇰 Eddie Yuen (actor): two statements calling for a swift Animal Protection Law and stricter penalties.
🇭🇰 Ma Chun Wai (former actor, now listed-company co-CEO): called for stronger legislation.
🇨🇳 Du Jiang (mainland actor): posted at least 3 times condemning the killings — each post taken down, most recently his Douyin homepage was wiped.
China has neither a national Animal Protection Law nor an Anti-Cruelty Law, and the perpetrators — under the criminal responsibility age — face no legal consequence. Public figures speaking up are being met with platform-level suppression, not policy response.
These four children did not become like this overnight. They grew up in a system where there is no law prohibiting animal cruelty and no effective legal deterrent for juvenile offenders. This is not simply a loophole in the law—it is a structural failure of the system itself. Unless that changes, no matter how many public statements are made, or how many are deleted, sending juvenile offenders to vocational school will remain the upper limit of the response.
