600 Stray Cats Boiled Alive
This is translation of Korean News 600 Stray Cats Boiled Alive 길고양이 600마리 산 채로 뜨거운 물에 담가 도살 reported by Yonhap News on May 21, 2015.
Police caught a man in his 50’s who boiled alive stray cats and sold them to “Health Food Centers”.
On May 21, Busan Bukbu (Northern) Police booked without detention, poacher Mr. A (54 years old) on charges of capturing and slaughtering 600 stray cats (a violation of Animal Protection Act).
Mr. A is suspected of capturing stray cats by setting traps with baits such as chicken in the vicinity of residential areas of Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do Province and slaughtering them in a secret location in Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do from February of last year until recently.
Police stated that Mr. A scalded live cats in boiling water for about 2 minutes to kill them, removed their fur, took out their organs, stored them in the freezer and then sold them to “Health Food Center” at 15,000 Won ($14 USD) each.
The police stated that when they raided Mr. A’s secret slaughterhouse, there were 18 cats about to be slaughtered.
Mr. A testified that he “captured and sold around 600 stray cats”.
Police explained that for over one year, Mr. A was able to profit from capturing because there is a high demand for cat soup because of the false belief that cat soup is good for arthritis, which has no cure.
However, police requested that unlike livestock animals such as cows and pigs, there is no management of cats for sanitation and the parasite inside a cat’s body can be transmitted to humans and therefore, cats should not be consumed.
Police stated that they will not punish the “Health Food Centers” who had bought the cats from Mr. A because there are no laws to punish them.
The current enforcement ordinance for the Animal Protection Act excludes cats from the provision prohibiting capture and sale, because they are subject to TNR(Trap/Neuter/Return) in order to reduce their numbers.
A police officer in charge of the investigation stated that they cannot punish Mr. A for selling stray cats so they are only charging him for violation of the provisions in the Animal Protection Act, Article 8, which prohibits the act of killing by cruel methods and the act of killing an animal with other animals of the same species present at the scene. He also stated that they will request the relevant governmental authority to review whether the exclusion of cats in the Animal Protection Act is appropriate with the current reality.

This vile and evil subhuman Korean monsters deserve to be thrown into boiling water for 2 minutes and suffer in absolute agony until his filthy heartless and sadistic Korean body boils. How could a supposedly human being monster commit such evil and vile unimaginable torture and suffering against such defenseless and innocent cats. He must be jailed and punished the same as the thousands, millions of his innocent victims he tortured to death.
This sadistic and callous Korean filth is pure evil at its worst.
Stop the killing
What a horrid bunch of people you all are! I would spit in your faces, and it wouldn’t be anything compared to your filthy, slimy actions you partake in!
Shame on you, for what you do. Your God will punish you for your crimes. Heaven does not await you!
On Apr6.2016, the judge adjudicated 2yrs of probation for the killer.
Dear Joanna,
Thank you for the update!!
Do you have a news report or any document for this verdict you can share with us?
It is disappointing that this monster only got only a slap on the wrist. He should be locked up for life instead.
Does anyone know what happened to the 18 cats found alive? Can any contributions be made 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.’
Shame on you Korea, you are not humans but monsters ! How can you be so cruel towards innocent animals you will eat anyway ? Is that a genetic bug ? I whish you go to hell, all of you !

gli sfoghi individuali su fb non servono a cambiare le cose …i mostri piu grandi non sono quelli che fanno le mostruosita’ ma quelli che le permettono …perche’ questi ultimi sono capaci di intendere a differenza dei primi…i nostri politici potrebbero intervenire sui politici di quel paese ma non lo fanno …essi sono i veri mostri perche’ sanno di poter cambiuare le cose ma se ne fregano esattamente come il mostro che bolle i gatti se ne frega della loro sofferenza
I hope they get the same feelings and pain that they inflicted and the idiots that eat these animals May themselves suffer
Fucking South Korea – leave these cats and dogs alone!!!! I hope your karma comes sooner than later! Uneducated assholes…
