Beyond the Manual: Why South Korea Must Mandate Companion Animal Evacuation and Ban Lifelong Tethering

posted by KoreanDogs.org team on July 8,2025 in Action Alert, Break the Chains, Forest fire, Uncategorized

South Korea has taken a commendable and compassionate step forward with its new “Manual for Companion Animal Disaster Response,” recognizing pets as integral family members during crises, a progressive move we deeply appreciate. However, our shared humanity demands more: to truly align with global ethical standards and prevent unimaginable suffering, South Korea must urgently enact and rigorously enforce two vital legislative changes. Firstly, making the evacuation of companion animals legally mandatory alongside their guardians during emergencies would end the horrific instances of animals being left to burn alive or drown. Secondly, a complete ban on the morally indefensible practice of lifelong tethering is crucial, as it condemns countless dogs to perpetual cruelty and leaves them utterly helpless in the face of disaster. Join KoreanDogs.org in urging MAFRA and the South Korean government to demonstrate genuine global leadership by embracing these essential reforms, ensuring that no animal is left to suffer and solidifying South Korea’s image as a truly compassionate and advanced nation.

Analysis of South Korea’s Companion Animal Disaster Manual: Advancements, Urgent Ethical Imperatives, and Critical Gaps

Strengths and Commendable Progress

South Korea’s “Manual for Companion Animal Disaster Response” marks a significant and compassionate leap forward in national disaster preparedness. Its development reflects a profound understanding of companion animals’ evolving societal role and their integral place within Korean families. We commend the following key strengths:

• Formalized Integration: The manual provides a formal framework, officially integrating companion animals into national disaster response strategies, crucial for comprehensive preparedness.

• Clear Roles and Responsibilities: It meticulously outlines the duties of national government bodies (MAFRA and Ministry of Interior and Safety), local authorities, and relevant organizations, establishing a vital structure for coordinated action and accountability.

• Comprehensive Lifecycle Approach: Addressing the entire spectrum of disaster management—from prevention and preparation to response and recovery—demonstrates a holistic and far-sighted perspective on ensuring companion animal safety and well-being.

• Emphasis on Public Engagement: The inclusion of “public outreach and awareness” underscores the recognition that informed and prepared citizens are fundamental to effective disaster response.

• Mandate for Local Implementation: The requirement for each local government to develop “Detailed Manuals” ensures national guidelines translate into practical, context-specific plans, fostering localized adaptability.

• Strong Legal Foundation: Grounding these efforts in Article 4 of the Animal Protection Act provides a robust legal basis, affirming commitment to animal protection even in emergency contexts.

Urgent Ethical Imperatives and Opportunities for Global Leadership

While the manual sets an impressive foundation for disaster response, critical and urgent opportunities remain for South Korea to further solidify its position among the world’s leading nations in disaster preparedness and fundamental animal welfare. These involve addressing the directive regarding companion animal evacuation, the pervasive issue of lifelong tethering, and the pressing need for accountability for animal cruelty.
________________________________________

The Critical Shift: From Recommendation to Mandatory Evacuation, Driven by Ethical Duty

The current manual commendably encourages and facilitates the evacuation of companion animals. However, it does not yet legally mandate that individuals must evacuate with their pets during a declared emergency. This distinction is paramount and carries profound moral and ethical implications.

• Preventing Immeasurable Suffering and Addressing a Moral Failing: When evacuation isn’t a clear legal obligation for companion animals, it inevitably leads to horrific outcomes. Animals left behind during fast-moving disasters like wildfires or floods face unimaginable and agonizing suffering: they can be trapped, left to burn alive, drown, slowly starve, or endure prolonged agony from severe injuries. The tragic images and heart-wrenching stories of such preventable cruelty are deeply distressing worldwide and cast a severe shadow on a nation’s commitment to animal welfare and its ethical standing. Allowing such extreme, preventable suffering to occur represents a grave moral failing that impacts South Korea’s global image.

• Compromised Human Safety and Evacuation Compliance: A profound lesson learned from international disaster experiences (such as Hurricane Katrina in the U.S., which led to the PETS Act of 2006) is that guardians will often refuse to evacuate, or even attempt perilous re-entries into dangerous zones, if they’re forced to abandon their pets. This directly endangers human lives and places emergency responders at unnecessary risk, undermining the very goal of safe and efficient evacuation.
________________________________________

Addressing the Cruelty of Lifelong Tethering: A Pervasive Ethical Crisis

Beyond disaster response, South Korea’s commitment to animal welfare is profoundly challenged by the widespread, cruel practice of lifelong tethering, particularly for countless “rural dogs” or “farm dogs.” Despite some recent revisions to the Animal Protection Act, enforcement remains weak, and the underlying issue of dogs being viewed as mere property or guard tools persists.

• Perpetual Suffering: Dogs subjected to lifelong tethering endure unimaginable physical and psychological torment. They’re confined to small, often filthy spaces, exposed to extreme weather without adequate shelter, denied proper food and water, and deprived of companionship, exercise, and mental stimulation. This existence leads to chronic stress, aggression, physical ailments, and profound mental anguish.

• Exacerbating Disaster Vulnerability: This deeply entrenched practice directly amplifies horrific outcomes during disasters. Dogs who spend their entire lives on short tethers are utterly helpless when fires rage or floods rise. They cannot escape, are easily forgotten, and are often left to perish in agonizing ways. This systemic neglect means a significant portion of the companion animal population is predisposed to death and suffering in emergencies.

• Staining the National Conscience: The visible suffering of these tethered dogs, particularly when revealed in the aftermath of disasters, is a stain on South Korea’s national conscience and a point of profound concern for the international community. It presents a stark contradiction to efforts to improve animal welfare and undermines the nation’s image as a developed and compassionate society.
________________________________________

Lack of Accountability and Enforcement for Animal Cruelty: A Systemic Failing

A critical missing piece in South Korea’s animal protection framework, particularly highlighted by recent wildfire tragedies, is the alarming lack of prosecution for individuals who abandon or leave their dogs tied and exposed to deadly fires or other natural disasters. Despite horrifying evidence of dogs gravely injured or burned to death while helpless on tethers, there have been virtually no known prosecutions or convictions for animal cruelty in these specific contexts. This sends a dangerous message: that the extreme suffering and death of animals due to abandonment in disasters carries no meaningful legal consequence. This systemic failure in enforcement undermines the Animal Protection Act itself, indicates a lack of awareness or will within law enforcement and judicial bodies, and directly contributes to a culture where such acts of cruelty are implicitly tolerated.
________________________________________

Embracing Global Leadership and Ethical Responsibility through Comprehensive Reform

Nations at the forefront of animal welfare and disaster management have increasingly recognized that a truly compassionate society cannot tolerate systemic cruelty or a lack of accountability. Legislating mandatory companion animal evacuation, outright banning lifelong tethering, and critically, ensuring the rigorous prosecution and just punishment of those who commit acts of animal cruelty, particularly abandonment and neglect in disasters, are essential components for truly comprehensive, humane, and ethically responsible national animal protection. These vital steps will dramatically improve animal welfare, enhance overall disaster resilience, and, crucially, reinforce South Korea’s image as a nation that values all life and champions compassion.

Subject: Commending South Korea’s Companion Animal Disaster Manual – An Urgent Appeal for Mandatory Companion Animal Evacuation, an End to Lifelong Tethering, and Robust Prosecution for Animal Cruelty to Uphold Ethical Standards and Global Image

To the esteemed Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) and all relevant government bodies in the Republic of Korea,

We profoundly commend the development and implementation of the “Manual for Companion Animal Disaster Response.” This landmark initiative marks a significant step forward in South Korea’s commitment to animal welfare and disaster preparedness, setting a commendable example by formally recognizing companion animals as integral family members during times of crises.

We particularly appreciate the manual’s robust framework, which defines government roles, establishes a phased approach to disaster management, and mandates local-level plans. Your acknowledgment that “As the number of households with companion animals increases in Korea, supporting people in evacuating and responding to disasters with their companion animals has emerged as a key issue. If the safety of companion animals is not ensured during such events, entire households may be unable to respond promptly, increasing their risk of exposure to danger,” truly demonstrates your understanding of the critical human-animal bond during emergencies.

As advocates for animal welfare and safety, we see this manual as a strong foundation. We believe there is a pivotal opportunity for South Korea to further solidify its position among world leaders in disaster management and animal protection by embracing two crucial, interconnected steps:

1. Making the evacuation of companion animals legally mandatory alongside their human guardians during declared emergencies.

2. Addressing and resolving the pervasive, cruel practice of lifelong tethering for dogs across South Korea and ensuring robust prosecution and significant penalties for individuals who commit acts of animal cruelty, particularly those who abandon or leave animals tied to suffer and perish in natural disasters.

While the current manual commendably facilitates the evacuation of companion animals, the absence of a legal mandate leaves a devastating gap. When evacuation is merely a recommendation, beloved companion animals are tragically exposed to unimaginable fates. Global instances of wildfires and floods have shown horrific suffering – animals trapped, abandoned, and left to burn, drown, or endure prolonged agony. Such preventable cruelty is deeply distressing worldwide and a profound ethical failing that impacts South Korea’s global image. A society’s compassion is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable, including animals. Allowing dependent companion animals to face agonizing deaths when they could have been safely evacuated tarnishes the nation’s reputation.

Furthermore, the tragic vulnerability of animals during disasters is severely compounded by the widespread, inhumane practice of lifelong tethering. Countless “rural dogs” or “yard dogs” are condemned to lives of profound suffering: tied by short chains, exposed to the elements, and deprived of basic needs. This systemic neglect, often due to weak enforcement, creates a population utterly helpless when fires rage, or floods rise. This cruel practice is a visible stain on South Korea’s national conscience and an urgent ethical crisis.

Compounding these issues is the alarming lack of prosecution for individuals who abandon or leave their dogs tied and exposed to deadly fires or injuries in recent wildfires. Despite undeniable evidence, there have been virtually no known convictions. This sends a dangerous message: that extreme suffering and death due to abandonment in disasters carries no meaningful legal consequence.

International experience, notably from the U.S. PETS Act, unequivocally demonstrates that mandatory companion animal evacuation significantly increases overall human compliance with evacuation orders, saving both human and animal lives. Similarly, progressive nations are moving towards outright bans on lifelong tethering, recognizing its inherent cruelty. These align with internationally recognized standards for comprehensive, humane, and ethically responsible disaster preparedness and animal protection. Effective animal welfare hinges on the consistent and rigorous enforcement of anti-cruelty laws.

We respectfully urge MAFRA and the South Korean government to seize this opportunity to lead by example. By considering legislative amendments that would formalize the mandatory evacuation of companion animals, enacting and strictly enforcing a complete ban on lifelong tethering, and ensuring the robust prosecution of those who commit animal cruelty, particularly abandonment in disasters, South Korea can achieve:

• Prevention of Immeasurable Suffering: No animal is left to face horrific death due to a lack of clear evacuation mandates, systemic cruelty, or a failure of justice.

• Upholding Ethical Responsibility and Enhancing Global Image: Affirming South Korea’s commitment to the compassionate treatment of all living beings, strengthening its moral standing and international reputation.

• Enhance Human Safety: Dramatically increasing evacuation compliance and reducing risks to both citizens and emergency responders.

• Comprehensive Preparedness and Animal Protection: Solidifying its place among nations at the forefront of disaster management and animal welfare through accountability.

We will continue our unwavering campaign to highlight these critical issues and advocate passionately for the necessary changes. We look forward to witnessing South Korea’s continued progress in these vital areas.

Respectfully,

[Your name, city, country]

제목: 「산불·수해 등 재난」 시 반려동물 구조·보호 매뉴얼을 환영하며 – 반려동물 의무 대피, 평생 결박 사육 관행의 종식, 동물 학대에 대한 강력한 처벌을 통한 윤리 기준 확립 및 국제 위상 제고를 위한 긴급 호소

수신: 대한민국 농림축산식품부(MAFRA) 및 정부 관계자 여러분께

『산불·수해 등 재난 시 반려동물 구조·보호 매뉴얼』의 제정 및 시행을 진심으로 환영합니다. 이번 획기적인 조치는 대한민국의 동물 복지와 재난 대응에 대한 진보적이고 자비로운 의지를 보여주는 상징적인 이정표이며, 위기 상황에서 반려동물을 가족 구성원으로 공식 인정함으로써 국내외에 모범적 사례를 제시하고 있습니다.

특히 정부의 역할을 명확히 규정하고, 단계별 재난 대응 체계를 마련하며, 지방자치단체의 대응 계획 수립을 의무화한 점은 매우 고무적입니다. “우리나라에서 반려동물을 키우는 가구가 증가함에 따라 재난 시 반려동물과 함께 대피하고 대응할수 있도록 돕는 것이 주요 이슈로 대두됨. 재난 시 반려동물의 안전이 보장받지 못하면 이로 인하여 반려동물가족전체가 신속하게 대처하지 못하고 위험에 노출될 가능성이 높음.”이라는 귀 부의 인식은 인간과 반려동물 간 유대의 중요성에 대한 깊은 이해를 반영합니다.

동물 복지와 안전을 옹호하는 우리는 이번 매뉴얼이 매우 뜻깊은 출발점이라고 믿습니다. 지금이야말로 대한민국이 다음 두 가지 핵심적이며 상호 연관된 조치를 통해 재난 대응과 동물 보호 분야에서 세계적 모범 국가로 도약할 중대한 전환점을 맞이했다고 확신합니다.

1. 비상사태 선포 시, 반려동물의 대피를 보호자와 함께 법적으로 의무화할 것.

2. 전국적으로 만연한 ‘평생 결박 사육’ 관행을 근절하고, 특히 재난 시 동물을 유기하거나 묶어둔 채 고통 속에 방치하는 행위에 대해 강력한 처벌과 엄정한 기소를 보장할 것.

현행 매뉴얼이 반려동물의 대피를 ‘권고’하는 수준에 머물고 있는 점은 분명한 진전이지만, 이를 법적으로 의무화하지 않은 점은 중대한 제도적 공백을 초래합니다. 대피가 선택 사항으로 남아 있을 경우, 수많은 반려동물은 비극적인 운명에 노출될 수밖에 없습니다.

전 세계적으로 발생한 산불과 홍수 사례는 반려동물이 갇히거나 방치된 채 불길에 휩싸여 타 죽고, 급류에 휩쓸려 익사하며, 오랜 시간 고통 속에 방치되는 참담한 현실을 보여주고 있습니다. 이러한 비극은 국제 사회에 깊은 충격을 안기며, 대한민국의 윤리적 위상에도 중대한 타격을 입힐 수 있습니다. 한 사회의 진정한 연민은 가장 취약한 존재를 어떻게 대하는가를 통해 드러납니다. 안전하게 대피시킬 수 있었음에도 인간에게 전적으로 의존하는 반려동물을 방치해 고통스럽게 죽음에 이르게 한다면, 이는 국가의 인도주의적 가치에 씻을 수 없는 오점을 남기게 됩니다.

또한, 재난 상황에서 동물들이 겪는 비극적인 취약성은 ‘평생 묶어 기르기’라는 비인도적인 관행으로 인해 더욱 심화되고 있습니다. 수많은 ‘시골 개’ 또는 ‘마당 개’들이 짧은 쇠사슬에 묶인 채 혹서와 혹한 속에 방치되어, 동반자 관계는 물론 생존에 필요한 최소한의 욕구조차 충족되지 못한 채 극심한 고통 속에서 살아가고 있습니다. 이러한 구조적 학대는 주로 법적 단속과 집행의 부재에서 비롯되며, 재난 발생 시 이들이 구조되지 못한 채 무력하게 희생되는 결과로 이어지고 있습니다. 이와 같은 잔혹한 현실은 대한민국의 국가적 양심에 깊은 상처를 남기며, 반드시 시급히 해결되어야 할 중대한 윤리적 과제입니다.

최근 산불 재난 당시 개를 방치하거나 결박한 채 화재와 부상에 노출시킨 행위에 대해 기소가 전혀 이루어지지 않은 사례는 법 집행 현실을 명확히 보여줍니다. 명백한 증거가 있음에도 불구하고 기소가 이루어지지 않는 것은, 재난 상황에서 동물 방치가 사실상 처벌받지 않는다는 위험한 메시지를 사회에 전달하는 결과를 초래하고 있습니다.

국제 사례, 특히 미국의 PETS 법(Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act)은 반려동물 대피를 법적으로 의무화함으로써 대피 이행률을 획기적으로 높였고, 그 결과 인간과 동물 모두의 생명을 구할 수 있음을 명확히 보여주고 있습니다. 동시에 여러 선진국은 ‘평생 묶어 기르기’가 본질적으로 잔혹한 행위임을 인식하고, 이를 전면 금지하는 입법을 추진하고 있습니다. 이는 포괄적이고 인도적이며 윤리적인 재난 대응 및 동물 보호 기준과 부합하며, 효과적인 동물 복지를 위해서는 무엇보다 동물 학대 방지법의 일관되고 강력한 집행이 필수적임을 시사합니다.

이에 저희는 농림축산식품부와 대한민국 정부가 이러한 변화의 흐름을 선도할 수 있는 중대한 기회를 반드시 포착해 주시기를 정중히 요청드립니다. 반려동물 대피 의무화를 법제화하고, ‘평생 묶어 기르기’ 관행을 전면 금지하여 강력히 단속하며, 특히 재난 시 동물 유기 및 방치 등 동물 학대 행위에 대해 엄정한 기소와 처벌을 보장한다면, 대한민국은 다음과 같은 중요한 성과를 거둘 수 있을 것입니다:

• 헤아릴 수 없는 고통의 예방: 명확한 대피 지침의 부재, 구조적인 학대, 그리고 정의의 실종으로 인해 어떠한 동물도 끔찍한 죽음을 맞이하지 않도록 합니다.

• 윤리적 책임 이행 및 국제 위상 제고: 모든 생명체에 대한 자비롭고 인도적인 대우를 실천함으로써, 대한민국의 도덕적 리더십과 국제적 명성을 강화합니다.

• 국민 안전 향상: 대피 이행률을 획기적으로 높여 시민과 구조 인력 모두의 생명과 안전을 효과적으로 보호합니다.

• 포괄적 재난 대비 및 동물 보호 체계 확립: 책임 있는 정책 실행을 통해 재난 대응 및 동물 복지 분야에서 대한민국의 글로벌 선도국으로서의 입지를 공고히 합니다.

저희는 이러한 중대한 문제들을 지속적으로 조명하며, 반드시 필요한 변화가 실현될 수 있도록 끝까지 열정적으로 캠페인을 이어갈 것입니다. 대한민국이 이 중요한 분야에서 지속적인 진전을 이루어 나가기를 진심으로 기대합니다.

다음 영상은 구조대원들이 적극적으로 동물을 구조하는 모습을 보여줍니다. 많은 동물이 묶여 있거나 갇혀 있었으며, 이는 대한민국 산불이 반려동물에게 미친 직접적인 영향을 보여줍니다: 가슴 아픈 구조: 대한민국 최악의 산불에 갇힌 동물들. https://youtu.be/f-9o–MrLx8.
