Pregnant Stray Cat Abused at Seoul Dongmyo Market... Police Investigation Underway
[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] After photos showing merchants at Dongmyo Market in Seoul abusing stray cats spread online, the police have launched a preliminary investigation.
According to the police on the 12th, around 1 p.m. that day at Dongmyo Market in Jongno-gu, merchants were seen abusing stray cats by tying their necks with strings and stabbing them with metal skewers.
A passerby captured this on camera and uploaded it to the internet, and as the photos spread on social networking services (SNS) and online communities, the incident became known.
