A fire at a dog farm in Pohang burned to death all 40 dogs trapped in raised wire cages!
Maeil News reported on September 29, 2021, “There was a fire at a dog farm in Pohang, Gyeongsangnam-do Province, killing all 40 dogs that were trapped in raised wire cages. According to the Pohang Northern Fire Station, a fire broke out at a dog farm located in Gwangcheon-ri, Songramyeon, Buk-gu, Pohang, around 11:30 pm on September 28. Firefighters responded to the residents’ call that they heard a loud ‘pop’, and they extinguished the fire in about 40 minutes.
There were no human casualties in this fire. However, after the fire was put out, 40 dogs (20 large dogs and 20 small dogs, possibly puppies) were discovered to have burned to death. The fire department and other investigations confirmed that the owner converted a junk yard and an abandoned pig farm to a dog farm. The farm owner is known to have kept dogs in raised cages to sell them for human consumption. Raised cages refer to wire cages with a hole in the bottom and standing high off the ground in order to easily dispose of the excrement of dogs trapped in there (which means the dogs spend all of their lives walking on painful wires). Police and fire departments are investigating the exact cause of the fire.”
The dog farmer who violated the Animal Protection Act by keeping the helpless dogs in inhumane raised wire cages and caused their agonizing deaths must be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
