Update on the case “600 Stray Cats Boiled Alive”

Update on the case “600 Stray Cats Boiled Alive”.

Chung OO, who was charged in May of 2015 for capturing and boiling alive 600 stray cats which were sold to the “health food centers”, was sentenced to 10 months imprisonment, 2 years probation and 80 hours of community service on April 6, 2016 by Changwon District Court. However, in Korea Chung OO will not be going to prison, and will only serve time if he commits the same criminal act within the 2 year probation period. Only then, will he go to prison for 10 months plus the sentence for any new crime he commits. This is a slap on the wrist for such horrendous cruelty and the violation of the Animal Protection Act.

To protest this outrageous sentence and ask for an appeal of the sentencing, on April 11, Busan Korea Alliance for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Busan KAPCA) and Korean Animal Welfare Association (KAWA) held a protest and a press conference in front of the Changwon Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, but were unable to meet with the prosecutor. They plan to continue protests through a one person relay protest in front of the Changwon Supreme Prosecutors’ Office. Click HERE to see the photos from the April 11 protest.

Korean animal protection groups also started an online petition urging the appeal of the sentencing. If you are a Korean resident, please sign their petition: http://bbs3.agora.media.daum.net/gaia/do/petition/read?bbsId=P001&articleId=184019
The deadline for filing an appeal for this case is April 14, 2016. This crime of horrendous cruelty toward animals must fit the punishment. Thank you.

    The way that a nation treats animals, so will it treat many people.

    Children learn how to treat people in part by the way that they see people treat animals.

    How sick is your culture that you allow this shit? I have many Korean friends and they are likewise disgusted. Take a stand on this. What is wrong with you people that you can’t punish these offenders. Are you NUTS?

    I am so disappointed in South Korea and China. This horrible practice has to be stopped. I can’t believe that people still eat animals that are other country’s pets. I have only pity and disgust with both of these countries for allowing this inhumane treatment of dogs and cats. They make me sick.

    THANK YOU to all the good protesters out there who recognize this murder for what it is, and for being courageous enough to stand up against it!!!
    Just because something is a tradition or part of a culture, does NOT make it right, and thank God that you recognize that.
    If the people murdering these poor animals don’t care about anything else, they SHOULD care about this—this is how these deadly viruses jump from animals to people, and mutate. Korea, if you don’t clean up your act, one of those superbugs is going to wipe you out. You’re not ready for it.

    There is absolutely no excuse for the pain and torture administered to these creatures. The belief that excruciating pain improves nutritional, medicinal and taste of the meat they take from these creatures is a LIE. Not to mention that to willingly do this to ANY creature shows signs of severe psychological disturbances! NO MORE PAIN FOR PROFIT!

    All these animal murders for the sake of tradition, is disgusting. Why do Asian countries think that this is acceptable? It’s barbaric and sickening and for children to be involved, makes it even worse. We live in a world where cruel humans have no compassion for animals. We don’t need to eat meat to live so this animal torture and abuse and horrific killing needs to stop, and ANYONE involved should be severely punished, and stronger laws to protect all animals. If someone took any of my cats and killed them in the way these senseless bastards do, I’d be heartbroken, because I love animals. These people have no soul or compassion whatsoever to be able to do this to animals. Do something to stop this and save the innocent animals.

    What happened to the 18 cats found still living? Is there any way to contribute towards their welfare?

      From the KSPCA: ‘Thank you for feeling concern about the 18 cats found alive.
      They are all rescued and re- released to the area where they had lived.
      The cat mom who had been taking the stray cats also wanted to do it.

      If you have any further question, please let me know.

      Thank you’
