Shanghai political advisers have called for including anti-animal abuse content into the city's guideline on comprehensive management of social order at the ongoing Two Sessions.

Liu Yibing, director of the scientific innovation department of Shanghai Media Group's media convergence center, and three other local CPPCC members, submitted a proposal in which they noted that the call for anti-animal abuse legislation is growing and attracting the attention of more and more legislators and political advisers during the national two sessions held last year.

"We hope that the law will be able to put a stop to animal abusers," Liu told Shanghai Daily. "Many psychologists believe that such people 'have a murderer living in their heads.'"
