Even at the end of November earlier than this, the police suspected animal cruelty and continued the investigation based on a report from a neighbor of Mr.
The police, who conducted CCTV tracking and interrogation, confirmed that Mr. A forcibly dragged the dog to a remote place at dawn, and secured a video containing the scene of causing pain or death to the dog through a search and seizure. .
As a result of the investigation, Mr. A adopted a total of 8 abandoned dogs and abused them, and it was revealed that he did not give them water and food or kicked and threw them.
As a result, one out of eight abandoned dogs lost their lives, but Mr. A is said to have stated, "I did it because I wanted to" during the police investigation.
A police official said, "Recently, adoption and sale of companion animals are actively being carried out." "The identity of the person seeking adoption, the purpose of adoption, and the breeding environment must be closely examined before sale."
