Genlin, the founder of World Dog Alliance, and Taiwan Legislator Wang visited the National Diet of Japan to attend the “explicitly banning dog meat consumption” meeting with Japanese policy-makers on 12th February. The Japanese legislators and officials were presented justifications on the necessity of such a ban.

Officials from Ministry of Environment, Cabinet Legislation Bureau and Hidehisa Otsuji, who was the Chairman of Zero-culling All-party Parliamentary Group attended and promised to investigate further into the dog meat situation in Japan to pave the path to a ban that would eliminate local dog meat restaurants, which now have a number of over a hundred across the nation.
