The agreement aims to eradicate all forms of theft, torture, slaughter, trafficking and consumption of dogs and cats and to highlight the moral responsibility we have towards dogs and cats who are human companions, friends, service animals and family members.

Half a century later, in the midst of a rapidly changing world, Genlin’s proposed “dog and cat diplomacy” will help the US and the US China adapt to the current era and serve as another icebreaker between the two countries. Genlin hopes that their respective leaders will commit to a common goal of “animal welfare for world peace”.
