Sharing for Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE):
The horrible situation at the Uljin dog slaughterhouse is still ongoing. The devastating effects of the recent forest fires are exacerbated by human neglect and indifference.
The dog farm/slaughterhouse owner needed large bowls to fill with food waste (usually rotten and moldy salty kimchi waste) called “Jjambap.” So, he obtained gas cylinders installed in gas cars from a junkyard, cut them in half, and used them as food bowls for the dogs.
There were many uncut gas cylinders at the site. The dried excrement piled up under the raised wire cages where the dogs are kept was sufficient to ignite into highly flammable materials.
At the time of the forest fire, witnesses in the vicinity of the slaughterhouse said that they heard several explosions and a lot of noise. The dogs at this farm/slaughterhouse that were not directly affected by the fire had burn injuries that were not initially visible, thus unnoticed.
It appears the injuries were due to close proximity to the gas cylinders. While caring for the remaining dogs at the dog farm, CARE removed the injured dogs out of the slaughterhouse to treat their injuries.
The Uljin County Office continues to rarely answer calls and has yet to come to the scene and take action.
It is difficult to tolerate their inaction and act of neglect and indifference to the injured animals in this disaster. Their issue of a press release was merely a pretense of helping the victims.
At this point, three weeks have passed, and CARE activists continue to take turns going back and forth from Seoul because they are sick physically and emotionally with sorrow for the animals and the nonaction of the government.
We would be grateful if the volunteers could come even on weekdays.
These are the photos of the dogs with newly discovered burn wounds, arriving and being admitted to a hospital in Seoul.
Why can’t the municipalities protect slaughterhouse dogs?
Please help us continue our efforts to help the animals. Thank you!
