PETALING JAYA: A global campaign seeking justice for Wang Wang has reached Malaysia, with digital billboards condemning animal cruelty appearing in Kuala Lumpur.
An Instagram reel shared by a Malaysian social media user showed billboards in the KLCC and Bukit Bintang areas carrying images of Wang Wang and her puppies.
The displays featured messages including “Stop Animal Abuse” and “We’re here, Wang Wang”, along with the hashtag #JusticeForWangWang2026.
According to the reel, the KLCC billboard appeared on July 25 and 26, while the Bukit Bintang display was listed for July 25.
Animal lovers in Malaysia have also been sharing the case online, while Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia (SAFM) said it had received numerous messages, emails and requests from people here and abroad asking it to speak up for Wang Wang and her puppies.
“We have heard your voices,” the animal advocacy group said in a recent Instagram post.
SAFM said no animal should be deliberately tortured, harmed or made to suffer for entertainment.
Although it had no authority to investigate a case in another country, the group supported international calls for a transparent investigation, accountability and appropriate action against those responsible.
It also called for stronger animal protection, humane education and early intervention to prevent similar cruelty.
“Their deaths must not become another case that attracts public attention for a few days and is later forgotten.
“It must lead to accountability. It must lead to education. It must lead to change.
“Cruelty has no borders. Compassion must have no borders," the group said.
The campaign began after disturbing footage emerged in June allegedly showing four boys below the age of 14 attacking Wang Wang and her puppies in Jieyang, Guangdong province.
The boys were reportedly seen hitting three puppies with sticks before setting their mother on fire.
Chinese authorities later said the boys would be sent to a specialised school, but did not provide further details.
The public was also urged not to identify or cyberbully the minors.
The case sparked outrage in China and overseas, renewing calls for stronger laws against animal cruelty.
