[Asia Economy Reporter Nana] The owner who walked two Jindo dogs without properly securing safety devices such as leashes and caused injury by biting a person was sentenced to a fine. It was revealed that the Jindo dogs were euthanized.


On the 12th, Chuncheon District Court announced that it sentenced A (64) to a fine of 5 million won for violating the Animal Protection Act.


On June 28 of last year, at around 5:20 a.m., A was walking two Jindo dogs in Nongil, Hwacheon-gun, when one of the dogs bit B (74, female), who was walking her companion dog, causing injury.


B was bitten on her right wrist and arm, and later underwent skin graft surgery. It was also reported that she needed about three weeks of follow-up observation after the surgery.


At the time, one of the two Jindo dogs whose leashes had come off bit B’s companion dog, and B was bitten by the other Jindo dog while trying to stop it.



The court stated, "Considering that the defendant deeply regrets the mistake, has amicably settled with the victim, and voluntarily euthanized the two Jindo dogs to eliminate the risk of recurrence, the sentence was determined."
