Wangwang Blog: Animal Welfare, Memorial Culture & Action

This blog exists to document the Wangwang story with clarity, care, and verifiable context.

Who Wangwang Was

Wangwang is the stray dog at the center of the 2026 Jieyang case. On 28 June 2026 she was killed along with her three two-week-old puppies in Pingpu Village, Xinheng Town, Jiedong District, Jieyang, Guangdong Province, China. Footage filmed by the perpetrators themselves spread across Chinese social media within a day and then jumped to overseas platforms including Threads and YouTube. Local authorities confirmed an investigation and said the minors involved had been sent to a specialized school. The case sparked discussion from Beijing to New York, from Taiwan to South Korea, and reopened the conversation about animal cruelty, stray welfare, and the gap between public concern and legal protection.
