picks up a puppy the size of his forearm and starts kicking it without mercy.
The puppy tries to get out somehow, but is thrown back next to the washing machine.
The police arrested a man in his 20s who habitually abused stray dogs for violating the Animal Protection Act.
It is a charge of habitually abusing 8 abandoned dogs for 2 years from January 2021.
This is the place where suspect A abused the adopted dog.
Mr. A is known to have continued abuse by kicking or throwing stray dogs here.
Of the 8 dogs sold by Mr. A, 1 died.
Some of the remaining 7 have been sent to the Abandoned Dog Protection Center, but some have yet to be found.
Mr. A is said to have stated to the police, "I just wanted to do it."
Mr. A's abuse of abandoned dogs became known in November of last year when a neighbor reported that the dog's crying continued to be heard next door.
As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that Mr. A took the abandoned dog at dawn and went to a remote place to abuse it, and was conscious of people's gaze and returned home with it in his arms.

I think the number of people working in such institutions is also a bit important.]
On Mr. A's cell phone, about 40 videos of crimes, such as inflicting pain or killing dogs, were found.
