KORAn owner who beat a 4-month-old puppy about 70 times on the street has been booked by police. Although the puppy was temporarily separated from the owner following a citizen's report, it was ultimately returned to the owner.
This is a report by Yang Hyu-chang from KBC.
A man is walking with a small puppy.
After sitting in front of a crosswalk as if waiting for the traffic light, he suddenly raises his hand and threatens the puppy.
As he pulls the leash roughly and strikes its head multiple times, a bystander who can no longer watch steps in to stop him.
[Witness : Please don't hit it, seriously. (Okay.) What did the dog do wrong?]
The 4-month-old puppy curls up on the ground without offering any significant resistance.
[Witness : It was to the point where you could never consider it training; the dog kept whimpering, and the abuse continued for about 15 minutes after crossing the (crosswalk). He was drunk and kept hitting its head hard in the exact same way while smoking a cigarette.]
This is the location where the puppy was beaten.
It was confirmed that acts of abuse took place here about 70 times over a span of 5 minutes.
When police arrived after receiving a report and began investigating, the man left the puppy behind and walked away, leading a witness to take the puppy in for temporary protection.
The man reportedly stated, "I only did that for educational purposes, and it was not abuse."
[Shim In-seob / Representative of Animal Protection Organization Life : Compared to OECD countries, we still have a situation that is somewhat vulnerable regarding animal rights and the right to life. I think education on life sensitivity and related matters is necessary starting from elementary, middle, and high school.]
It was confirmed that the puppy, which had been placed under separation measures, was returned to the man after he claimed ownership.
Police have booked the man on charges of violating the Animal Protection Act and are investigating the case.
