When asked if others were helping him on the endeavor, Wang answered, “I don’t accept monetary donations, I only hope that kind-hearted people will be able to donate a few supplies to help.” Even though Wang had been doing everything in his power to provide for the dogs, he has incurred serious debts as a result.

There has been plenty of international uproar criticizing the Chinese government for allowing this brutality to exist.
