Yonhap news reported on February 24 that police had applied for an arrest warrant against a pet shop owner in Chungcheongnamdo Cheonan who had severely neglected dogs causing them to die. Chungcheongnamdo Cheonan Southeast Police station stated on February 24 that on February 20, it had requested an arrest warrant for the pet shop owner (referred to only as “Mr A”, aged 27) on charges of violating animal protection law. Mr A is suspected of neglecting 160 dogs and causing death of 79 of these dogs while operating a pet shop from July of last year in Cheonan Dongnam-gu district. Many corpses were found in a significant state of decomposition, with their skulls and ribs fully exposed. These dogs were found in metal cages, on the floor and stuffed inside boxes throughout the pet shop. Of the 80 surviving dogs, some had clearly not been fed for a long time and many have been infected with measles and deadly parvo viruses. Mr A reportedly admitted to the police that he “neglected the dogs because it was costly to treat them medically or euthanize dogs.” Click here to learn more and take action: http://koreandogs.org/cheonan-petshop-79dogs-dead/ Please click here to sign our petition: https://www.change.org/p/president-moon-jae-in-south-korea-please-help-the-abused-companion-animals Click here for more actions you can take: http://koreandogs.org/what-you-can-do/call-for-action/ Thank you.
