In fact, although there is no special law to punish "anti-animal cruelty" in China, the current laws and regulations have clearly defined acts such as violent animal cruelty and dissemination of violent information content. "It's just that a complete system has not been formed, but it doesn't mean that it can't be punished according to law. Relevant legal sources said that cat abuse itself is a serious provocation to good social order and public tolerance, and the perpetrator will not only be morally condemned, but also bear legal responsibility such as public security administrative punishment and civil compensation.
In order to widely spread the concept of "anti-abuse" and cover people from all walks of life, in April, a number of representatives of cat house guardians at the street cat station spoke out in the form of interviews to support the protection of small animals. On April 24, Street Cat simultaneously launched the "Voice Signature Activity for Battered Animals", widely collecting consensus from all walks of life and supporting the inclusion of "animal cruelty" in the adjustment scope of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law". The person in charge of the event mentioned that the signed document and the content of the recommendations collected will also be submitted to the relevant regulatory authorities by email and written letters, so as to further promote the acceleration and improvement of anti-animal cruelty related legislation.
It is reported that more than 22,000 people received online support on the day of the event's release. In fact, this year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, Zhao Wanping, vice president of the Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences, once again put forward a proposal to speed up anti-animal cruelty legislation. He believes that animal cruelty is inextricably linked to the protection of minors, and that this behavior is not only a mutilation of animals, but also a hidden abuse of bystanders and children.
In addition, during the theme month, the Street Cat platform posted anti-abuse themed posters in the live broadcast rooms of cat houses in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other places, and launched a joint campaign with various brands to distribute anti-abuse car stickers to a large number of users, jointly speaking out for "anti-animal cruelty" and spreading the anti-abuse concept to all sectors of society.
"This year is the first time that the Street Cat platform has launched such themed activities across the country, and we will also take April every year as a node to unite people from all walks of life to continue to effectively popularize the concept of "anti-animal cruelty", jointly advocate social kindness, respect and kindness to life, further form a social consensus on the concept of "anti-cruelty", and jointly promote relevant legislation. The person in charge of street cat-related activities said.
