Animal Protection

In 2014, Peng Hongling discovered that dog meat was a "cuisine" in his hometown Guizhou, and decided to campaign for legislation to outlaw human consumption of dog meat. He founded World Dog Alliance (WDA) the same year, aiming to push forward "Explicit Legislation against Dog Meat Consumption" in Asia. He scripted and directed the documentary Eating Happiness, traveling to places including China, Korea and Vietnam to film the situation of dog meat industry. The screening of the documentary was held on 1 November 2015, joined by Mickey Rourke.
In August 2018, Genlin launched the campaign to promote the legislation outlawing dog meat consumption in the United Kingdom. In response, Theresa May promised to look into the issue.
