World Dog Alliance

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


World Dog Alliance, founded in 2014, is a Hong kong based non profit international animal protection and charity organization[1][2] operating in the United States, France, Japan, and Hong Kong.[3][4][5]

History

Horiike Hiroshi founded the World Dog Alliance in December 2014, aimed at fights to end the dog meat trade through legislation.[6][7]

The WDA claims support from legislators in the U.S.,[8] China, U.K.,[9][10] Indonesia,[11] South Korea,[12] Japan, Norway, Sweden and others for its proposed international agreement.[13]

Key campaigns and milestones

  • In 2017, Taiwan revised its Animal Protection Act to outlaw dog and cat meat[14]
  • In 2018, the U.S. “Farm Bill” included a ban on the slaughter and consumption of dogs and cats for human food[15]
  • In 2020, cities such as Shenzhen[16] and Zhuhai[17] introduced bans on dog and cat meat consumption
  • In 2021, Vietnam's Hoi An implemented initiatives to phase out dog meat.[18] Restaurants serving dog meat would be detrimental to Hoi An's standing as a popular tourist destination. As a result, the city started to phase out dog meat.[19]
  • In 2023, the WDA publicly congratulated Jakarta for banning the dog and cat meat trade as part of its local food regulation reforms[20]
  • In 2024, South Korea's parliament passed bill to ban eating dog meat[21]
  • In 2024, the U.S. Congress included language referencing the International Agreement in its Appropriations Bill[22]
  • The United States passed the "U.S. Appropriations Bill 2024" which included language on the "International Agreement to Prohibit the Eating of Dogs and Cats,” championed by World Dog Alliance.[22]
