[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Park] A man in his 60s who set fire to his pet dog and caused injury has been referred to the prosecution.

The Goesan Police Station in Chungbuk announced on the 19th that Mr. A (60) was sent to prosecution without detention on charges of violating the Animal Protection Act.

According to the police, on the early morning of July 31, Mr. A allegedly set fire to a 2-year-old Jindo dog he was raising at a pension he operated in Goesan-gun, causing injury.

The abused Jindo dog suffered third-degree burns over its entire body and was transferred to a hospital for treatment.

Police, who responded to a report from a pension guest, launched an investigation. Based on the National Forensic Service's analysis detecting flammable substances in the dog's skin tissue and a veterinarian's opinion stating "the burns were severe, making it impossible for the dog to escape, indicating abuse," the police judged that Mr. A had committed a crime.

Mr. A is reported to have denied the charges, claiming, "During garbage incineration work, sparks flew onto the dog's body, causing the burns."
