[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] A video showing a driver in Sangju, Gyeongbuk dragging a dog tied to the back of his vehicle has sparked public outrage. It is reported that the dog, with all four paws covered in blood, eventually died.

On the 25th, Animal Freedom Union stated on their official Facebook, "We received a report that on March 7th at 10:38 a.m., on a national road in Moseo-myeon, Sangju-si, Gyeongbuk, a dog was hung by the neck and dragged behind a vehicle, resulting in its death," and added, "After reviewing the black box footage capturing the abuse, we filed a complaint with the Sangju Police Station in Gyeongbuk on the 24th."

According to the organization, informant A witnessed a Galloper vehicle tying a string around the dog's neck and attaching it to the car while driving at speeds of 60 to 80 km/h on the 7th. The road where the vehicle passed was soaked with what appeared to be the dog's blood.

A took the opportunity when the Galloper vehicle briefly stopped to check the dog's condition. The dog showed no movement and all four paws were crushed and covered in blood.

The organization explained, "Although the dog's torso in the black box footage showed no particular external injuries, all four legs were covered in blood," and added, "The abuser tied the living dog to the car and drove, and the dog, with its neck tied, ran desperately to keep up with the vehicle's speed, eventually dying."

They continued, "This is a clear case of animal abuse that caused death in a cruel manner," emphasizing, "We plan to collect additional reports and petition signatures to ensure the abuser faces strict legal punishment, so we ask for your attention."

Netizens who saw this reacted with comments such as "Humans are the cruelest. How much pain must it have endured?", "My heart hurts so much. Please increase the sentences for animal abusers," and "How can someone think like that? It's scary."

The organization has submitted a complaint to the Sangju Police Station on the 24th. According to Article 46 of the Animal Protection Act, anyone who commits abuse causing an animal's death can face up to three years in prison or a fine of up to 30 million won.
