Ajine Village, a stray dog ​​shelter located far away from the city center.



It settled here four years ago and became a haven for numerous stray dogs.



More than 220 stray dogs are protected here.



Each iron spear has one or two dogs living like this, and a name tag is attached to the iron spear, and the characteristics are written as'Aegyojaeng' and'Mellow'.



Director Park Jeong-soo, who runs this place with private expenses, even received a presidential citation for his contribution to animal protection.



[Kim Gyu-ri/Gyeyang-gu, Incheon Metropolitan City: I've been volunteering in many places, but I think the only place that manages this neatly like Ajine Village.

I like people for children who have been hurt by people.]



But recently, I heard a story like a cheongcheon dynasty from Gimpo city.



Since vinyl houses and containers are unauthorized and illegal buildings, they were ordered to be demolished.



[Park Jeong-su/Director of Ajine Village: It’s hard to move.

However, there was no countermeasure and a complaint came in unconditionally.

Gimpo City is in a position that it is difficult to overturn as a complaint has been received.



[Gimpo City Officer: We are doing the same for illegal matters.

I don't think it can be reversed because there is a complaint from the other



party

Amid the steadily increasing number of abandoned animals, the local government-run abandoned dog shelters are euthanized if they cannot find a guardian for more than two weeks.



Therefore, the role of private shelters is growing.



[Cho Hee-kyung/CEO of Animal Freedom Solidarity: The reason why the private shelter was created is a social problem, and because I could not handle it, it was transferred to the private sector...

Sponsors and citizens are contributing to the protection of Ajine Village by participating in the Blue House National Petition.
