Subject: Proposal to establish Wangwang Memorial Day on June 28th

Text: Dear Madam/Sir,

I am writing to propose the establishment of ‘Wangwang Memorial Day’, to be observed annually on June 28th.

The day would be dedicated to honouring and remembering animals who have been victims specifically of abuse and torture. While there are a number of important international observances recognising animal rights and animal welfare, there does not seem to be a dedicated annual day that specifically commemorates the lives of animals who have suffered deliberate abuse and torture.

The inspiration for this proposal comes from the recent story of a mother dog in China known as Wangwang. Her puppies were tortured to death in front of her before she herself was set on fire and burned to death. This incident occurred on 28th June 2026 and was filmed and distributed online by the perpetrators. This horrific act of abuse and killing sparked global outrage and a renewed push for long overdue animal welfare laws in China.  

The need for such a global day has never been more relevant. Social media and technology has allowed the sharing of animal torture to be distributed to a global audience and at a scale never seen before.  

Each year, June 28th could serve as a day to remember and pay tribute to all animal victims of abuse and torture, to educate the public about the realities of animal cruelty and to encourage individuals, organisations and governments to work towards preventing such suffering.

I believe an annual memorial day would provide a meaningful opportunity for people around the world to honour these animals as well as bring us closer to a kinder and more compassionate world. 

I would be grateful for your thoughts on this proposal and whether your organisation would be interested in supporting or discussing the concept further.

Sincerely,
