✊ “Justice for Pasha!”

The first rally was held in Cheonan, where many citizens came together to mourn Pasha’s tragic death and raise their voices against the police negligence and broken systems that allowed it to happen. On the path where Pasha was brutally dragged, people laid flowers, holding back tears. Citizens spoke out with trembling voices during open mic sessions, and every step of our march shouted one clear message: Pasha deserves justice.

But this is only the beginning. Pasha’s case is still under investigation without the abuser being detained, simply because authorities claim there’s “no risk of flight.” Yet the abuser—who casually said things like “Should I use some violence?” to a TV producer—remains free, walking the streets. This isn’t just about one case; it’s about the safety of all of us.

We must demand more. Louder. Stronger. “Punish the abuser in Pasha’s case! Prosecution, give Pasha the justice he deserves!”

📌 Details of the 2nd Rally – Cheonan District Prosecutors’ Office

• Date & Time: Tuesday, September 9, at 2:00 PM
• Location: In front of the Cheonan Branch, Daejeon District Prosecutors’ Office
• Organizers: Citizens’ Action for Justice for Pasha & Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE)
• Open to: All citizens who believe in truth, justice, and compassion

👋 This case has exposed a harsh reality: animal abuse is still too easily overlooked in Korean society.
We will not stay silent. We will gather again and speak up—for Pasha, and for all the voiceless. 🕊️ Join us. In Pasha’s name, stand with us.

Translation of the Petition:

Petition Letter: Urgent Call for Arrest and Maximum Penalty in the Pasha Animal Cruelty Case

To the Honorable Chief of Cheonan Dongnam Police Station and Investigating Authorities,

We, the undersigned citizens, write to express our profound shock and outrage over the recent case of animal cruelty in Cheonan involving a dog named Pasha.

The suspect, Pasha’s owner, committed a brutal and inhumane act by tying his dog to an electric bicycle and dragging it for several kilometers. Pasha collapsed, bloodied and severely injured, in plain view of multiple witnesses. Despite clear video evidence (including CCTV), the suspect trivialized the act, claiming it was intended as “exercise,” and showed neither remorse nor urgency as his dog lay dying. He did not seek veterinary care. Pasha ultimately died in extreme pain and distress.

1. This Is Not an Ordinary Case of Animal Abuse

This was not a private or accidental act. It occurred in a public space, witnessed by bystanders, and has sparked widespread social outrage. The suspect’s actions clearly constitute a violation of:

Article 10, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 1 of the Animal Protection Act — prohibiting acts that lead to death by cruel means.

Article 10, Paragraph 4, Subparagraph 2 — for failing to provide appropriate care, resulting in death.

Additionally, the suspect appears to have violated Article 69, Paragraph 1, concerning illegal animal breeding and sales.

This case is not an isolated incident, but part of a broader pattern of alleged neglect and abuse involving this individual.

2. Why Arrest and Custodial Investigation Are Critical

Despite numerous past reports, warnings, and eyewitness accounts, the suspect has continued to deny, conceal, and downplay his actions. Immediate seizure of CCTV footage and preservation of evidence is essential. In similar past cases, weak legal responses have led to repeated offenses.

The failure to arrest the suspect in such a public and egregious case sends a dangerous message of tolerance toward animal cruelty — both domestically and abroad. South Korea must not become known as a country where abuse of defenseless animals is met with indifference.

3. Our Demands

We respectfully urge the authorities to:
1. Arrest the suspect and conduct a full custodial investigation.
2. Secure and review all CCTV footage and related evidence from the area.
3. Collect statements from all relevant witnesses and apply all appropriate charges under the Animal Protection Act.
4. Review and address any failures in local enforcement or administrative oversight to prevent future incidents.
5. Ensure that the harshest possible legal penalties are pursued in this case.

4. A Plea from the Public

Animals cannot speak for themselves — they depend entirely on humans and institutions to protect them. The agony Pasha endured must not be ignored or forgotten.

This case has triggered one of the strongest public outcries regarding animal abuse in recent years. Citizens across the country demand accountability, justice, and meaningful change. We call on you to demonstrate that the law will stand firmly on the side of compassion, protection, and justice.

Please ensure that the perpetrator receives the maximum penalty under the law so that such cruelty is never repeated.

📍파샤사건 1차 집회 잘 마치고 2차 집회 예고합니다!
✊ “파샤에게 정의를!” 첫 집회는 천안에서 열렸습니다.
많은 시민들이 함께 모여, 비극적인 죽음을 맞이한 파샤를 추모하고, 방관한 경찰과 무책임한 제도를 향해 목소리를 높였습니다.
파샤가 떠난 길. 그 앞에 헌화하며 울음을 삼킨 이들, 자유발언에 나선 시민들의 떨리는 목소리, 그리고 정의를 외치며 행진한 발걸음 하나하나가 모두 파샤의 억울함을 알리는 증거였습니다.
그러나 싸움은 이제 시작일 뿐입니다.
아직도 파샤의 사건은 불구속으로 수사하고 있습니다. 도주의 위험이 없다는 이유입니다. 그러나 방송 피디를 향해서도 “폭력 좀 사용할까?” 라는 언행을 서슴지 않는 학대자가 구속되지 않은 채 버젓이 거리를 다니고 있는 것은 우리 사회 모두의 안전이 위협 받는 것입니다.
우리는 더 강하게 요구해야 합니다. “파샤 사건을 엄벌하라! 검찰은 파샤에게 정의를 돌려줘라!”
📌 두 번째 집회 안내 -천안지청
• 일시: 9월 9일 화요일 오후 2시
• 장소: (대전지검- 천안지청)검찰청 앞
• 주최: 파샤의 정의를 위한 시민행동 & 동물권단체 케어
• 대상: 파샤 사건의 진실과 정의를 바라는 모든 시민
👋이 사건은 동물을 학대해도 쉽게 용인되는 한국 사회의 현실을 만천하에 드러냈습니다.
우리는 침묵하지 않을 것입니다.
검찰청 앞에서 다시 모여, 파샤를 위한 정의를 강력히 외칠 것입니다.
시민 여러분, 파샤의 이름으로 함께해주세요.
