[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] An incident occurred in an apartment complex in Incheon where a cat suffered a fractured jaw due to assault and ultimately died, prompting animal organizations to call for strict punishment.

On the 13th, animal protection groups Care and Team Cat announced that they rescued a cat suspected of being abused in an apartment complex in Michuhol-gu, Incheon on the 3rd, but the cat died during treatment.

The organizations stated, "A cat (Gangsan-i) was found abandoned on the roadside with a bleeding jaw by a caretaker (activist) in Michuhol-gu, Incheon," adding, "Gangsan-i suffered a jawbone broken in two from external trauma, ocular and oral hemorrhaging, jaundice, and liver function could not be measured, resulting in death." They also said, "(The hospital) diagnosed that the cat appeared to have been starving for more than 10 days, which caused jaundice and elevated liver levels due to prolonged hunger."

The groups currently suspect a man, Mr. A, who is the owner of Gangsan-i, as the abuser. They claimed, "After persistently interrogating for 2 hours and 30 minutes, we obtained a full confession from Mr. A."

They continued, "This case clearly shows that not just anyone should own animals, and that routine abuse is increasing even among cat lovers," emphasizing, "It demonstrates that even in households raising cats, cruel killings can occur openly, and that animals should not be adopted out lightly."

Furthermore, the organizations urged, "We are collecting petitions for the strict punishment of the animal abuser," and appealed, "Please join us in ensuring that the abuser who starved, brutally assaulted, and abandoned the adopted cat by throwing it out the window, as well as the cruel abuser who kicked the cat dying outside, receives the maximum sentence under South Korea’s Animal Protection Act."
