Baek Soon-i, who lived in a 40cm iron box, was rescued with the help of an animal rights group.

The box made of thin metal was hung under the truck, and it was a dangerous space where Baek Soon-i could lose his life if it collided with another car.



On the 12th, the animal rights group 'Care' shared the story of 'Baek Soon-i', who lives in an iron box under a truck through its official Instagram.

According to the care side, Baek Soon-i lived in the metal box regardless of hot or cold for a year before, and when a passerby approached Baek Soon-i, the owner's grandfather became angry, saying "a dog like a child".




In response, Care went to Gwangju, where Baek Soon-yi is, saying, "It seems like a very difficult case, but I can't let you live like that."

Soon, Baek Soon-i, whom he met for rescue, was trapped in a 40x60 iron box where he could not lie down.

There was even food and water in the box, so Baeksoon sat crouched down.



In the end, Baek Soon-yi, who was rescued with the help of the group, was bent as she grew up due to living in a box since she was a baby.




According to Care, Baek Soon-i's owner, the grandfather, was a salesperson selling goods on the 5th market held in each area.

It is said that he found Baek Soon-i, who had fallen into a puddle of water for the first time, and brought him back to him, feeding him milk and raising him with care.



However, as he continued to grow in size and could not keep the barking Baek Soon-i in the house, Grandpa eventually built an iron box under the truck to trap Baek Soon-i.



Care side said, "My grandfather was not aware of the harshness and dangers of that small space. He just wanted to raise a milk-fed Baek Soon-i to the end, and his desire to take him everywhere and his ignorance made him imprisoned in an iron box. "It seems that there was no other physical assault, seeing that Baek Soon likes his grandfather a lot as well," he explained.




At Care's persuasion, Grandpa wrote a memorandum of renunciation of ownership of Baeksun, promising that he would never raise a dog in this manner again.

In addition, although my grandfather cried a lot as he passed away, the group emphasized, "It is not that he does not know his feelings, and it is unfortunate, but it was appropriate to find a better environment for Baek Soon-i, who is now one-year-old."



Currently, Baek Soon-i has left Gwangju and is on the way to a hospital affiliated with the group, and the care side said, "To protect himself and his grandfather, Baek Soon-i has to correct his habit of biting, as well as undergoing examinations and treatment for Baek Soon-i. There are a lot of things I can do for you,” said Baek Soon-yi.




According to the Animal Protection Act, the breeding area must be at least 2 to 2.5 times the length of the body, and the head must not touch when standing.

Violation of this law may result in injury or disease, punishable by imprisonment for up to two years or a fine of up to KRW 20 million.
