00:02 The place we followed an informant..
00:07 There were many dog cages in a row
00:10 And..
00:16 the wretchedly skinny dogs..
00:23 PD : Not breathing..!
00:30 What..what’s going on this place now..?
00:35 Going inside
00:37 PD : Aiyo…
00:40 A victimized dog who seems to lost life
00:45 while trying to escape from the cage..
00:52 Dogs who had to watch such a terrible scene must have been shocked..
01:02 PD : What’s this..?
01:04 Found bones of dogs..which were piled up..
01:16 Informant : How can we say more..! seeing this..
01:21 The informant stumbled on this place when he came to gather wild herbs by chance..
01:27 Seems that they’ve barely avoided hunger by feeding on grass..
01:37 Even desperately pull the leash in order to feed the grass as much as possible
01:48 Still unbelievable for them to keep breathing..
01:56 Most of the dogs are in bad health..
02:02 For which reason..
02:08 Why are a lot of dogs living in this wretched place..
02:23 PD : The bowl is empty… No one feeds them at all?!…
02:28 Informant : That’s why there are no marks of pee or poop as starved.
02:36 Among the dogs, no one even left a vestige of ordure
02:40 PD pleads for help
02:43 First, we gave them some water by a vet’s instruction.
02:55 Meanwhile, tried to inquire here and there about the situation.
02:57 PD : How long have the dogs been like this so far?
03:00 Local1 : Abt 10 years.. More than 10 years.
03:04 PD : Then, do you even know about their owner?
03:08 Local2 : Sure I know. He barely visit.
03:11 Dogs had been starved and stopped breathing continuously, even 7~8 cows were the same as for dogs.
03:17 Local1 : If he brings animals, they keeps losing lives and it goes on.
03:20 Local people already knew it, but no way to handle..
03:24 Local2 : You know, animal or human..
03:26 What would be good for himself if abusing animals, huh?
03:29 I called the owner and said “If you keep bringing animals and don’t care for them, I’ll sue you”
03:33 but, he just says “Yes, I got it” and turns away and ignores..
03:37 PD visits the place again
03:39 But then!!
03:42 The dog disappeared!?
03:45 Definitely, someone came by!
03:48 PD : Excuse me, sir
03:49 Found a man nearby!
03:52 PD : Sir, are you the dog owner of this place?
03:55 Dog owner : Yes, the dogs huh,
03:58 I gotta sell all of them and dispose of the unsalable ones.. And clean up
04:04 PD : Have you heard anything from someone?
04:05 Dog owner : What?
04:07 PD : You swept them all?
04:08 Dog owner : What do you mean?
04:09 Remain as they are, what did I sweep?
04:12 PD : Where did you move the dogs?
04:15 Dog owner : I’ve never seen them before. what’s wrong, huh~
04:21 there is nothing like that.
04:24 When raising dogs, some of them stop breathing, but not even happened recently.
04:28 How could it happened in this warm weather.
04:29 PD : WHERE DID YOU REMOVE THE DOGS!
04:32 Dog owner : Oh my~ I told you I don’t know
04:34 PD : Where is the dog, who lost his life!
04:37 Dog owner : I have no idea!
04:38 PD : You should accept it, sir!
04:39 I have all the video clips of the current state!
04:44 The man hesitates as soon as he heard that we have an evidence
04:49 PD : You should tell us.
04:50 Dog owner : Th..threw away somewhere
04:52 PD : Why did you say you don’t know any.
04:54 Dog owner :Ah~ you know.. it looks bad to see those..
04:59 Finally admitted that he removed the dogs
05:02 He just hid the dog in the bushes..
05:13 PD : Don’t you know why I am here?
05:15 Dog owner : I didn’t even beat them, you know..
05:18 Why SBS Animal comes here..
05:20 PD : Sir, they are the lives.
05:23 Dog owner : I only watched such things on TV, though..
05:31 PD : Do you think only those things are bad?
05:35 Sir, the dogs here would starve if you don’t feed them!
05:40 Do they have any sin..? Why should they suffer like this..?
05:45 Dog owner : The skinny dogs. If I feed them well for a few days, they easily get fat.
05:50 If they get plump, I’ll call dog traders and sell!
05:55 PD : Where do you sell?
05:56 Dog owner : To the one who trades dogs.
05:59 You have many experiences in animal fields, but
06:03 saying that you still don’t even know about how the dogs are sold for food?
06:08 PD : Do you admit your fault?
06:10 Dog owner : Yeah, I admit about the part of starving dogs
06:14 PD : These dogs… have been so skinny,
06:17 and don’t want them to be sold for food.
06:20 What are you gonna do?
06:23 Give us them.
06:24 Dog owner : I’ll take a photo of plump and chubby dogs and texting you every day… 06:31 Then, doesn’t it proves that I’m not lying?
06:35 PD : In fact, I don’t trust you.
06:39 You’re the owner but then, we want to adopt them all.
06:45 Please give us them.. please
06:48 Dog owner : Ok, okay. I’ll do if you want, but I’m asking.
06:53 If I have any chance to fatten them at last.
06:57 If I treat them in my way.. I am asking you again.
07:02 On the other side.. Dogs vomit all the food the man just fed
07:07 But they swallow that again..
07:12 After the PD’s persistent persuasion,
07:16 Dog owner : If I fatten and sell them,
07:20 At least, I can earn money for a gas fee
07:22 Honestly it’s a waste to me, you know?
07:27 Phew~ But then..
07:29 If you ask for giving dogs trashes,
07:35 I have to give them since it’s true that I’ve starved the dogs until now.
07:40 The rescue team arrived
07:56 Vet : We should let all the dogs get water now
08:08 Vet : These big dogs usually have many muscles and fats..
08:13 but if they’re so skinny, that means they have suffered from hunger for long.
08:17 They might even see any meal so far.
08:20 At the site, rushed to do the medical examination for them..
08:28 It’s sticky..
08:31 Vet : This one has been dehydrated long ago..
08:36 that’s why it is sticky like this..
08:37 They’ve been starved for long, so their bowel functions were weakened
08:43 Vet : From now, we should help them consume more liquid food which is plenty of fluids…
08:47 so that their bowel movement functions well
09:08 Animal Rescuer : Phew.. No word to say.. If I see them..
09:17 The dogs just had to wait for the end of their life
09:21 and suffered from hunger, not knowing what’s going on..
09:25 We’re just so sorry for them to be late..
09:38 Vet : Hypoglycemia is more likely to occur at an early age..
09:42 I assume that they collapsed and even lost their lives at this state..
09:52 Animal Rescuer : In some ways, leaving them alone for a long time might be worse than claiming their lives..
10:00 Animal Rescuer : At least.. they have the right to be cared for.
10:05 But, if not, the dog owner shouldn’t be called as the owner.
10:11 (In case of violation of laws,) A legal force must be imposed to claim a prohibition order of the breeding right so as to stop raising a dog.
10:17 Some of them with bad conditions tried to get an examination at a hospital.
10:22 Vet : In case of this white dog, need to treat with an antibiotic and antiphlogistic,
10:27 and after monitoring the condition, may have to consider surgery at worse
10:33 In case of the brown dog, we should treat the continuous diarrhea symptom..
10:41 and need to keep getting the IV injection against starvation
10:46 And we built a new shelter for the rest of them.
10:52 1. Promised that the local residents will care for dogs until they have a new family
10:56 2. Promised that their necessities will be offered by the local government
11:02 The day of bringing the dogs to the new shelter!
11:09 However..
11:12 The dog tries hard to hold up not to go out..
11:20 Animal Rescuer : He may have lived here in his whole life, so..
11:26 PD : He never moves after coming down
11:27 Animal Rescuer : This dog might have lived (only in the cage) since his birth..
11:33 Also he seems to be shocked by seeing other dogs who were dragged while being here..
11:43 Animal Rescuer : Let’s go..Huh?! Let’s go~
12:03 The dogs tremble with fear that they might lose their lives if they leave the cage..
12:08 PD : Not going to a bad place~
12:15 PD : It’s okay! Alright! Not going to a bad place!!
12:25 Finally arrived at their new shelter
12:34 They carefully look around the new place for a while
12:43 And then, they as if feeling relieved after a while,
12:48 begin to feel free to hang out
12:53 In this new shelter,
12:57 They can get some water,
13:05 They can get treatment
13:16 and they can feed as much as they want
13:26 Animal Rescuer : First, at least they got more time to continue their lives once again,
13:35 We should do our best (to take care of them)
13:38 So sorry to be late..
13:41 And thanks a lot for enduring your lives..♡
13:45 ♡
