[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lee Gyehwa] The police have launched an investigation following a report suspecting abuse of stray cats using adhesive substances. The informant, Mr. A, who often feeds stray cats, reportedly witnessed two kittens. These cats are estimated to be less than one month old.

According to the Michuhol Police Station in Incheon on the 20th, resident Mr. A filed a report on the 15th suspecting abuse of two kittens.

On the 15th, around 3 p.m., Mr. A saw two kittens near an elementary school in Michuhol-gu whose entire bodies were stuck together with adhesive and reported the suspicion of abuse.

Mr. A stated that the adhesive was covering the entire bodies of the newborn kittens, causing their fur to clump together. He also took the cats home to wash them, but the adhesive was not easily removed.

The police suspect that the adhesive stuck to the cats' bodies is a product used for catching mice.

Earlier, on the 12th, Mr. A also witnessed a man estimated to be in his 50s or 60s holding a kitten's neck with tongs while passing by, raising concerns about possible abuse targeting stray cats.

The police plan to investigate whether actual abuse occurred based on photos of the stray cats provided by Mr. A and nearby closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.
