Ulsan 8-year-old dog bite accident… Animal rights group says sacrificing dogs is not the only answer
While the euthanasia procedure for a dog who bit an 8-year-old child and seriously injured it in an apartment complex in Ulsan was suspended, an animal group said that 'sacrificing the dog is not the only answer' and said that it would take over the dog.
According to an animal shelter that is currently protecting the accidental dog, the dog in question is known to be in a docile state.
An official from the shelter said, "It is unbelievably gentle that they attacked a person." "Other dogs often bark to get them out of their cages when they are trapped, but the accident dog sits quietly without barking even when people pass by."
In the midst of this, the animal welfare organization Beagle Rescue Network recently appealed to allow them to take over the accident dog.
On the 18th, through the official Instagram, the group said, "Killing a dog does not solve the fundamental problem of dog bite accidents."
He continued, "Dogs are not social animals. The act of biting a dog is an instinctive and intuitive matter. Since he is not an intelligent subject who cannot arbitrarily have moral awareness or ethical standards, the social punishment of euthanasia (for a thought dog) is reasonable. not,” he claimed.
He said that the dog owners who failed to properly control and manage the thinking dog in question should be held legally and socially responsible.

Earlier on the 11th, around 1:20 pm, a dog wandering around an apartment complex in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, ran into an 8-year-old group A, biting his neck and arm and seriously injuring him.
The CCTV video of the attack at the time showed a dog chasing a frightened group A, tenaciously biting the fallen group A for 2 minutes and not letting go.
Group A, who was struggling on the floor of the rain, resisted for a long time, but then did not move his body.
At the same time, a delivery driver at the scene swung a cart to drive the dog away, and group A was taken to the hospital and received suture surgery and treatment.
At that time, the delivery driver who rescued Army A said in an interview with SBS Video Mug, "The baby was completely stretched out and blood was flowing all over her body, but the black dog was biting and shaking. The dog wasn't biting, it was really eating."

"Accident dog should be euthanized" vs "What does that change?"
In connection with the 8-year-old dog bite in Ulsan, the opinions of netizens are divided over whether the dog should be euthanized.
The argument that 'Accident dogs should be euthanized' and the argument that 'euthanasia is not an unconditional answer' are in conflict.
Netizens in favor of euthanasia are arguing that euthanasia should be done before a bigger accident occurs to prevent other victims.
However, netizens who oppose euthanasia are arguing that euthanasia of accident dogs cannot prevent repeated bite accidents, and instead insist that the punishment and education of dog owners should be strengthened.
On the other hand, in relation to the dog bite accident, the police are in the position that euthanasia should be done, but the prosecution demanded that data be supplemented on the grounds that 'it is difficult to believe that there is a risk of danger', so the procedure for culling the dog is currently suspended.
