Yesterday (22nd), Pohang Nambu Police Station booked a man in his 20s without detention on charges of violating the Animal Protection Act.
Person A is accused of brutally killing a cat at an abandoned fish farm in Nam-gu, Pohang earlier this month and then damaging the body.

This crime by Mr. A became known when he directly posted on SNS the image of Mr. A killing a cat and damaging the body.
Citizens saw this and reported it to the police, and 'Kara', an animal protection organization that received the report, found 5 or 6 badly damaged cat corpses at an abandoned fish farm on the 21st, repaired them and rescued 9 cats remaining at the scene.
A petition was posted on the Blue House public petition bulletin board saying, "Please strongly punish the abuser of Guryongpo, who enjoyed dissecting cats as a hobby at an abandoned farm."
The petitioner said, "From February 13th, at Homigot, Guryongpo, Pohang, at an abandoned fish farm with a depth of 3~4m, by March 13th, dozens of cats were captured using multiple traps and then bizarrely and brutally killed." wrote.
He added, "The abandoned fish farm, which was used as a workshop, has a structure in which even a person cannot get out by himself once he enters it.
The petitioner said, "The perpetrators are watching private shelters and cat free sale sites with their computers and mobile phones, and they have a strong obsession with cats." He appealed for hope that it would come true.
In the police investigation, Mr. A admitted to some charges, saying, "I committed a crime out of curiosity," but asserts that "I killed only one", the police plan to continue the investigation.
This is a 'news pick'.
