[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Public outrage has erupted after it was revealed that some people cruelly abuse or kill cats and share these scenes in online group chat rooms for enjoyment. A Blue House petition demanding strong punishment for these individuals has garnered over 180,000 signatures in just four days.


On the 7th, a petition titled "Please investigate and punish the group open KakaoTalk chat room that cruelly abuses and eats cats" was posted on the Blue House petition board. As of 7 a.m. on the 11th, the petition had received 185,362 signatures.


If a petition posted on the Blue House website receives more than 200,000 signatures within a month, official responses can be obtained from relevant ministries, agency heads, or senior Blue House officials.


The petitioner expressed outrage, saying, "There are demons in the KakaoTalk open chat rooms," and described them as "demons who shoot stray cats with bows because they dislike their meowing, smash their skulls, bring them home to display and take pictures boasting about it, and laugh about it on KakaoTalk."


They continued, "Is this what humans do to poor stray cats?" and urged, "Please isolate these demons from society."


The petitioner also appealed, "Please punish them properly. Why is it that even strengthening such a simple animal protection law is not possible?" and "Please do not turn a blind eye to these poor lives cast out on the streets."


This petition was posted after the reality of an anonymously operated KakaoTalk open chat room called the "Gore Specialist Room" was revealed. It was confirmed that the chat room shared methods of capturing animals, ways to cut off body parts, and related experiences.


Furthermore, they did not stop there; conversations expressing desires such as "I want to kill stray cats" were held, and photos and videos of abused animals were reportedly posted.


According to the current Animal Protection Act, causing physical harm to animals, as well as posting or distributing photos or videos of such acts, is considered a form of abuse and is prohibited.



On the 8th, Animal Freedom Coalition filed a police complaint against these individuals for violations of the Animal Protection Act and the Wildlife Protection and Management Act.
