Talent Devi Fujin (85) has established a new party, "12 (One-Nyan) Peace Party," in preparation for the House of Councillors election and has assumed the role of representative. She has declared her candidacy under the national proportional representation system, prioritizing the ban on dog and cat consumption as the party's top issue. To meet the eligibility requirements for candidacy, she has applied for Japanese citizenship.
Hiroshi Horiike (65), co-representative and president of the World Dog Alliance, has been lobbying for a ban on dog and cat consumption since 2018 but has yet to see a bill introduced. In a meeting with a prominent politician, the opinion was expressed that "banning another country's food culture infringes on people's right to eat," highlighting the difficulty of the debate.
In South Korea, a law banning dog consumption has already been enacted, and Korean media have reported on the activities of the 12 Peace Party. Horiike stated, "Following South Korea’s example, I believe Japan will also change." Media outlets in Taiwan and Hong Kong have also taken interest in this development.

タレントのデヴィ夫人（85）が参院選に向け、新党「12（ワンニャン）平和党」を設立し、代表に就任。犬猫食の禁止を最優先課題とし、全国比例で立候補を表明した。出馬要件を満たすため、日本国籍の取得を申請している。
共同代表の世界愛犬連盟会長・堀池宏氏（65）は、2018年から犬猫食禁止のロビー活動を続けているが、法案提出には至っていない。ある大物政治家との会談では「他国の食文化を禁止することは食の権利を奪う」との意見が示され、議論の難しさが浮き彫りになった。
韓国ではすでに犬食禁止法が成立しており、韓国のメディアも12平和党の動きを報じた。堀池氏は「韓国の例にならい、日本も変わることを信じている」と語り、台湾や香港のメディアもこの動向に注目している。
