[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] The mummified body of a cat was found discarded in a burlap sack in front of a pet grooming shop in Daegu. An animal protection organization suspects abuse and plans to report the man who discarded the cat's body to the police.

On the 30th, SBS released CCTV footage from the evening of the 26th showing a young man leaving a mummified cat in front of a pet grooming shop in Suseong-gu.

In the video, the man wearing a backpack stops in front of the shop holding a burlap sack in one hand. After checking the black object he was holding, he puts it into the sack and calmly walks away.

The object inside the sack was reported to be the mummified body of a cat, dried out and twisted.

The person who first discovered the sack said in an interview, "I wondered if someone had abused it, and how it could have ended up in such a state, which made my hands and feet tremble a lot." They reported it to the police but were told that under current law, animal corpses are considered waste, making investigation difficult.

The Daegu Animal Protection Organization suspects abuse and plans to report the man who discarded the cat's body on charges of 'illegal dumping' and request an investigation.
