[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A petition demanding the strict punishment and public disclosure of personal information of a man in his 40s who adopted 19 dogs, including poodles, in Gunsan, Jeonbuk, and then brutally killed them has been posted.

On the Blue House National Petition Board, a post titled "Please agree to the strong punishment and public disclosure of the criminal who adopted 19 poodles, brutally abused them with all kinds of torture, killed them, and illegally buried them" was uploaded on the 7th.

The petitioner emphasized, "The methods of abuse show a complex nature of sophistication, meticulousness, and audacity, different from previous animal abuse cases."

He continued, "Currently, the perpetrator claims diminished mental capacity and mental illness," adding, "If the victims had not found out about each other, it is obvious that the perpetrator would have continued committing the same crimes."

He appealed, "Please clear the grievances of the beautiful puppies who only know food and their owners."

As of 6 p.m. on the 26th, this petition had received over 181,000 signatures.

According to the police, Mr. A (41), who works for a public enterprise, is suspected of adopting and abusing 19 dogs, including 16 poodles, over the course of about a year from last year until October, and then abandoning them in apartment flower beds and other places.

Mr. A adopted small dogs from all over the country and abused them by forcibly making them drink water or causing burns. He was also investigated for hitting their heads or killing them using weapons.

Autopsy results revealed clear signs of abuse on the deceased dogs, including skull and mandible fractures and burns all over their bodies.

It was reported that when dog owners tried to find their puppies, Mr. A responded that they were lost or did not answer calls. It was also found that he gave the dogs sleeping pills to avoid being caught.

The police urgently arrested Mr. A on the 2nd and applied for an arrest warrant on the 3rd. However, it was dismissed due to no concerns about flight risk or evidence tampering.

Meanwhile, this case came to light when a victim who had adopted a puppy to Mr. A posted on social media that "there is no contact with the adopter."

After this post was uploaded, other victims who had also adopted dogs to Mr. A appealed that they were experiencing similar situations.
