Action Alert! Prosecute the couple who left their two dogs tied up in the forest fire, causing one to burn to death and another to suffer severe burns.
People who commit acts of cruelty against helpless animals by exposing them to the clearly foreseeable danger of being burned to death must be held accountable and punished. We saw this heartbreaking case from the Uljin forest fire reported by Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA).
Below is a translation of KARA’s post.
"We rescued Big Mary, who had to witness Little Mary burn to death in the forest fire in Uljin.
With a strong metal leash and iron stakes deeply rooted in the ground, Big Mary and Little Mary could not escape, even when the owner’s house burned down to the ground. Little Mary ended her life burning to death in the flames. Big Mary escaped the flames as she watched Little Mary, the family she had been with for years, burn in front of her eyes. The wildfire passed, and Big Mary’s life was saved.
KARA’s activists cleaned up the burnt corpse of Little Mary and pulled the leash from the iron stake that held her. We also wanted to release her collar, but it had already melted and could not be separated from the corpse. The carcasses of chickens in the collapsed chicken coop right next door were also taken care of.
Big Mary welcomed KARA activists despite being in such a miserable environment. Her face was swollen badly due to the fire, and even to the naked eye, it was apparent she was seriously injured, so treatment was urgent. On the fourth day after the fire, Big Mary was tied up here for days, even though her wounds were expected to cause her to deteriorate quickly. KARA pursued the owner couple, who said “we will never give her up,” for two days before they would give up ownership of Big Mary.
Big Mary wagged her tail continuously while KARA pulled the metal stakes out of the ground and replaced her metal leash with a light leash. KARA gave Big Mary a new name, ‘Danbi’ (which means welcome rain or much-needed rain in Korean). Danbi is no longer a yard dog living on a 1-meter leash. Now she is unbound to the ground and ready to live with her family."
