"Mother Dog Slaughtered in Front of Puppy" Animal Rights Group Reports Abuser to Police

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Recently, an incident occurred at a factory in Gyeonggi-do where the owner slaughtered a dog he was raising in front of its puppies, prompting an animal rights organization to file a complaint with the police.

Animal Rights Action KARA stated on the 17th, "At around 12 PM on the 10th, a horrific incident occurred at a factory in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, where the factory owner hanged and slaughtered a dog in front of its puppies."

KARA filed a complaint on the 14th with the Gwangju Police Station in Gyeonggi against the factory owner Mr. A and two employees for violating the Animal Protection Act.

After receiving a tip, KARA dispatched a team to the site on the 13th and, with the cooperation of Gwangju City Hall, rescued one adult dog and five puppies.

According to KARA, Mr. A slaughtered the mother dog for the purpose of selling it for consumption, and it is reported that this was not the first time such slaughtering for food sales had occurred. At the scene of the incident, parts of a cat carcass, including a severed head and legs, were also found.

On the same day, KARA emphasized in a post on their Facebook page that "According to Article 8 of the Animal Protection Act, 'acts that cause death by cruel methods such as hanging animals' are serious crimes subject to the maximum penalty under the law."

They also encouraged participation in a petition urging strong punishment for the accused. KARA plans to submit the petition to the Gwangju Police Station where the complaint was filed.
