[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A man in his 60s who entrusted a lost dog to a health center to make so-called 'herbal medicine' has been arrested by the police.

On the 27th, the Yeonsu Police Station in Incheon announced that Mr. A was booked without detention on charges of embezzlement of lost property. Mr. A is accused of leaving a female Golden Retriever named 'Bella,' found in a park in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, at a health center to be made into herbal medicine.

Earlier, on the 18th, the owner, Mr. B, had let Bella loose in the yard of his home in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, but lost her. He made missing posters and searched for Bella's whereabouts but could not find her.

Later, Mr. B learned that Bella had been slaughtered at the health center. On the 26th, he posted on an online community, saying, "I was contacted by the daughter of an acquaintance who received herbal medicine from Mr. A," and stated, "Mr. A took the pet dog to the slaughterhouse at the health center to make medicine." Mr. B added, "I am suspicious whether the medicine was really received from a genuine acquaintance or if he is lying about his actions. I intend to take legal action regardless of who it is, so if anyone knows of any legal assistance, please let me know."

Mr. B expressed his feelings, saying, "It is horrifying that someone acted with such thoughts," and "Thinking about the pain and fear that the timid child I raised for 13 years must have endured makes me feel like going crazy."
