[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Amid revelations that a dog was abused using various antibacterial products such as bathroom deodorizer after surgery at an animal hospital, a national petition demanding strong punishment for the hospital has gained over 100,000 signatures.

On the 7th, a post titled "Request for Strong Punishment of ** Animal Hospital in ** District, Gwangju Metropolitan City" was uploaded on the Blue House National Petition Board, and as of the evening (8:45 PM), it had received 111,157 signatures.

Recently, allegations of dog abuse at an animal hospital in Gwangju have spread mainly through online communities.

According to CCTV footage released by dog owner A, an 8-month-old dog weighing 750g was moved to the treatment room after having baby teeth extracted. In the video, animal hospital staff are seen spraying bathroom deodorizer on the dog while laughing loudly, and also spraying and applying other antibacterial products.

It is reported that the staff performed these actions due to the dog's bad breath caused by inflammation after surgery. The dog passed away about three hours after treatment.

Through a YouTube video, A said, "After the baby teeth extraction surgery ended, the little one had to endure about an hour of being a test subject for grooming practice with bathroom deodorizer, perfume, and mist," adding, "Thinking about how painful this torture must have been for Samsun, my heart aches deeply, and it breaks my heart that she died while being abused in a place where she had no one on her side."

The animal hospital reportedly released a handwritten apology. The hospital explained, "During the recovery process, the doctor brushed the dog to pay more attention to her, and there was no intention of abuse," and apologized sincerely, saying, "We deeply regret and sincerely reflect on using inappropriate products to remove the smell of inflammation."
