Hundreds of dogs and cats, which should have been safe from harm, in the care of an Anseong animal shelter have died in a raging fire that swept through the property.

If this shelter had been managed properly, then those animals would have remained safe. They are now dead. Someone must be held to account, and a lesson must be learned so that others in similar positions of responsibility will be very clear about their duties towards animals in their care, which extends above and beyond the basic provision of food and a cage.

Yonhap News reported on December 7, 2018, that a fire broke out at the animal shelter at Gyeonggi-do, Anseong, Miyang-Myeon. It was eventually put out by firefighters after 2 hours and 55 minutes but resulted in the deaths of 180 dogs and 80 cats which were trapped in their cages and burnt alive. The fire department estimated the property damage from the fire to be 26,000,000 Korean won (USD 23,000). 

No people were injured. The police and the fire department are investigating the exact cause of the fire but suspect that it was caused by an electrical fault, possibly a short circuit.
