Is that statement not true everywhere? I would assume, given that humans are not all good in general, that in all places there will be pieces of shit that will not take care of and abuse animals/pets
Russia sponsored it, despite being huge and present colonisers, but the text of the motion was pretty lacking.
France, China and the US are the other big two these days (excluding the more minor offenders and the ones that are more imperialist or genocidal than colonialist like Israel, Armenia and Azerbaijan), the US voting against is unsurprising, China like to reframe their colonialism as "Not Colonialism™" and France probably didn't want to get the bad rep of voting against it.

lemme guess US, France, China, Russia and the Uk and “Israel” voted against it
Just the U.S and Israel.
There’s the other version, with Russia or China vetoing good things.
Since 1970 USA has used its veto the most.
