[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Two large dogs without leashes were roaming a park and killed a stray cat as if hunting it.

According to Dalseo District Office in Daegu on the 16th, a report was received on the 15th that two Chow Chows killed a stray cat in the park.

According to the report, at around 9:20 a.m. on the 13th, two Chow Chows roaming without leashes at Wolgok History Park in Dalseo-gu suddenly rushed at a stray cat when it appeared.

The stray cat was pushed down by the large dogs, struggled with its legs, and eventually died on the spot.

The problematic large dogs were not registered as pets with the local government, and the owners have not yet been found.

As this news spread, citizens expressed concerns that large dogs without leashes could cause harm not only to stray cats or pets but also to humans.

Although the Chow Chow breed is not classified as a dangerous dog and is not required to wear a muzzle, the owner who allowed the dogs to roam without leashes is subject to administrative penalties.

The district office plans to identify the owner based on analysis of closed-circuit television (CCTV) around the park and testimonies from nearby people. If video evidence is secured, administrative actions such as fines will be imposed on the owner.
