Stronger Laws to Save Dogs and Cats

Protection for dogs and cats can be increased through effective policies, legislation, and practices. IFAW advocates that companion animals are entitled to lives that are free of cruelty and distress. To that end, we lobby legislators to improve laws that will safeguard cats and dogs.

Animal-friendly legislation and policies improve the welfare of companion animals. In China, IFAW is working with the government to establish their very first national animal protection laws. Locally, in Beijing, IFAW works with its partners to revise dog policies to better enable people to adopt and offer their dogs enriched lives.
