[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] It has become controversial that two large dogs were roaming without leashes and muzzles on the playground of an elementary school in Iksan, Jeonbuk.

According to parent A and others on the 24th, around 2:30 PM on the 19th, a vehicle entered the playground of an elementary school in Sindong, Iksan. Mr. B, who got out of the car, unleashed two Dobermans without leashes or muzzles on the playground.

At the time, children were playing on the school playground, and there was a sign prohibiting pets from entering. However, Mr. B ignored this, and the two Dobermans roamed the playground without leashes or muzzles.

Dobermans are large dogs that can grow up to 70 cm at shoulder height. They have muscular and sturdy skeletons, are mainly used as police or military dogs, and require special care.

Frightened children had to run away to avoid the Dobermans. In particular, when the Dobermans approached and the startled children screamed, owner Mr. B reportedly scolded the children, saying, "Don't scream," according to Mr. A.

The police are investigating whether Mr. B violated the Animal Protection Act and the Child Welfare Act. Under current law, all dog breeds must wear leashes when going out in public places.

Meanwhile, as this incident became known through local communities, netizens are demanding an apology and punishment for owner Mr. B.
