International Agreement to Prohibit the Eating of Dog and Cat Meat Initiated by: World Dog Alliance Recipients: The White House, 10 Downing Street Genlin is the founder of World Dog Alliance (WDA). His philosophy is to “change human society, save dogs and cats”. To achieve his vision, while adhering to the legislative strategy, Genlin also intends to set up an international agreement to prohibit the eating of dog and cat meat. Such an agreement will be the best medium to draw international attention to the issue and push for change.

On 2 1 s t June 2 0 1 4, WDA was founded to promote banning dog and cat meat consumption worldwide. Genlin believes legislation is the only is the only means of eradicating the immoral practice of eating cats and dogs, particularly in Asian countries.

On 26th September 2015, the first Dog Lovers’ Day was launched by WDA. Eating Happiness, a documentary produced by Genlin, was screened in cities around the world to reveal the barbaric nature of dog meat consumption in Asian countries.

On 12th September 2016, in response to a parliamentary petition initiated by WDA, the British government applied pressure to the South Korean government through diplomatic means. This resulted in the closure of Moran Market, which is the biggest dog meat market in Seoul.

On 11th April 2017, WDA’s campaign led to the successful passage of dog and cat meat ban in Taiwan, making Taiwan a beacon of hope in Asia.

On 12th December 2018, the United States Congress passed the Farm Bill which outlaws dog and cat meat consumption. It sets a historic milestone for WDA’s legislative efforts in the United States since 2015.

Every year in Asia, over 30 million dogs are slaughtered for food, 70% of whom are stolen companions. After thorough investigation, WDA drafted and published a white paper on increasing punishment for dog theft, aiming to end such crime along with the consumption of dog and cat meat in China.

On 6t h March 2019, a Chinese congressman introduced the Companion Animal Protection Act which proposes banning dog meat consumption and increasing punishment for dog theft. Not only does WDA’s legislative endeavor save our beloved animal friends, it also shed a light of hope to their caregivers.

On 13th March 2019, using the first-hand and in-depth information provided by WDA, a Japanese congressman brought up the dog meat issue during an interpellation session in the Japanese Congress. The surprising fact that more than 100 dog meat restaurants exist in Japan sent shock waves through the world. WDA’s target is to legislate a ban on dog and cat meat in Japan before the Tokyo Olympics starts in July 2020.

On 11th June 2019, WDA and a member of Italy’s congress jointly introduced a bill to outlaw dog and cat meat in Italy. Italy is an animal loving nation, it is thus believed that the bill will be passed in the near future.

On 10th July 2019, the British government agreed to an amendment to include a dog and cat meat ban in the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill, which is likely to officially become law by the end of 2019. WDA’s campaigning efforts in the UK over the years has come to fruition.

On 28th July 2019, WDA announced its agreement campaign and launched this petition to launch their international agreement. Congressmen in the US and Members of Parliament in the UK have already pledged to back WDA's agreement.

As Jeff Denham, former US representative who introduced the ban on dog and cat meat in the US, said in his speech, “It demonstrates our unity with other nations that have banned dog and cat meat and bolster existing international efforts to crack down on the practice worldwide.”

Shenzhen has become the leading city on animal welfare in China by showing its advanced moral value.

Since founded in 2014, World Dog Alliance (WDA) has been promoting legislation to ban dog and cat meat in China: 1. WDA has sent multiple letters to the Central Government of China, urging the leadership to “Ban wildlife meat for health, ban dog and cat meat for moral”.

2. WDA has held seminars and conferences to exchange ideas with Congressmen, Senators and legal experts.

3. WDA has drafted the “White Paper to Increase the Punishment on Dog Theft” to bring more public attention to animal welfare.

4. WDA has worked with Shanghai University to conduct an online survey, 88% of the participants supported a ban on dog and cat meat.

5. WDA has led a filming crew to take footage of the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, exposing the cruel nature of the dog meat industry.

Shenzhen being the first city to pass the law is indeed a milestone for China’s animal welfare, it has also established an important foundation for WDA’s future campaigns in China.

With WDA’s effort, the United States passed a bill to outlaw dog and cat meat on 12th December 2018.

On 7th February 2020, WDA successfully lobbied 30 U.S. Congressmen to sign on a letter to President Trump urging him to set up an “International Agreement to Prohibit the Eating of Dogs and Cats”. On 2nd March 2020, WDA successfully lobbied 67 British MPs to sign on a letter to Prime Minister Johnson urging him to do the same.
