[Shocking Report] Scene of dog hanging at the Busan Gupo market! Please join us in reporting this case! (Warning: Graphic photo)
We, the planning team of the Busan Korea Alliance for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, went out to the Gupo market last weekend to monitor the livestock market when we witnessed the shocking scene.
As we were following a truck full of dogs moving through the market, we saw a dog slaughterhouse butcher taking a dog out of the cage and hanging him by the neck.
This is the slaughterhouse that has occupied the land, owned by the Busan Northern District Government, illegally and which has been paying indemnity to this District Government for the past 20 years. (Why can’t the Busan Northern District Government shut it down? Surely the District Government is not trying to secure a tax revenue source in the form of blood money, obtained by killing animals in very cruel ways?)
We could not do anything at that moment as we were blocked from entering the slaughterhouse…
It happened so suddenly and we were in great shock but we immediately called 112 (emergency call line to the police in Korea) and reported the animal cruelty.
It was the scene of a dog being hanged to death and a clear violation of the animal anti-cruelty provisions of the Animal Protection Law.
However, the police did not show up as we desperately waited…
So we kept calling 112 but the police responded by telling us to call the District Office.
After our repeated demands, the police finally showed up after 20 minutes!
However by that time the crime scene had already been cleaned up.
So, the police just left saying there is no evidence to bring any charges.
This is so wrong, outrageous and sickening…..
The police is indifferent to our report and has no interest to investigate.
Please look at this photo from the scene.
This white dog was being dragged forcibly as if he knew that he would be killed.
(We were following that dog truck…)
This is what happened next…
He is hung by his neck.
Our planning team tried to enter the premises but we were blocked by several men…
We told them that we needed to use the bathroom and gained entry but the dog was already dead…
It was horrendous …
Our team leader, who witnessed this whole incident, was not able to sleep for many nights due to shock and the sense of guilt.
However the police didn’t want to get involved.
Why is our nation’s police like this?
That is not all.
On that same day there were many vendors who were selling animals illegally right in front of the sign post, warning that the selling of animals is illegal! So we reported this to the police as well.
Illegal activities were taking place shamelessly right next to the warning notice!
When we reported this to the police they responded by telling us to contact the District Office instead.
As we called them repeatedly, they finally showed up after 20 minutes but they just parked their police car nearby and did not even get out of the car!
When we reported these violations to the police, we gave them the physical descriptions of the violators but they did not even bother to investigate.
As a result of the police car parked nearby, the vendors who were selling animals, one by one left the area……
After all the illegal vendors had left the area, the police called us to come check the area again saying that there were no illegal animal-selling vendors and telling us again to call the District Office.
Is Busan BukBu Police Station the only police station in Korea that acts like this?
What is wrong with them?
Not even responding when violations are reported and showing up late only after many calls and demands…
Making excuses about not being able to do anything because they didn’t see anything……….
The fact that the animals have to continue to die with agony is so incredibly unfair…
How can the police whose responsibility is to enforce the law be this way?
The fact that the animals have to continue to die in agony is incredibly outrageous!
How can the police whose responsibility it is to enforce the law, shirk their responsibility!?
Because the police is ignoring our report and refusing to investigate, we filed a formal civil complaint last weekend against the Busan BukBu Police.
Animal cruelty is clearly a crime.
Nevertheless, is the police not enforcing the law properly because it’s a case about animals?
Why do they treat these cases this way?
We also filed a civil complaint about the dog-hanging case to the Busan BukBu Police.
We need your help to get the police to conduct a proper investigation, enforce the law and punish the perpetrator.
Please join us and help to get the animal abuser punished by the police and to propitiate the chagrin of the dead dog.

Please keep fighting, I have signed all the petitions in the hope one day this will stop! People all over the world are learning about these atrocities. I will not visit any country that persists in so much suffering of sentient beings.
Thank you for your compassion and energy!
sick f””k in bastards……burn alive all of you, inhuman from the last world.
This culture has lost any claim it might have to be human -how can they hurt the poor little pups-it is all so filthy-cruel and so dam unhygenic -what I find offensive is these cultures migrate to civilised countries and bring their filthy barbaric habits with them -hopefully the dogs might give them something to remember them by -karma.
I believe that if compassion for animals was taught in early school grades, kids would grow up understanding how wrong this is….how awful it makes them and Korea look in the eyes of the world. This would be the change.
Stop it the are Bastards
I can’t say anything else, that Corean pepople a low,low ,low life evan lower than insetcts .
Just disice all people who commite such acts !!!!!!
SCUM OF THE EARTH
You are sick!!!!! STOP this brutality!!!!

There is no need to kill and eat dogs. Pople are not meant to eat meat.
I am against this treatment of animals and will donate time and money to the cause it’s beyond a cultural thing in these cases and is out right mayham it must be stopped at all cost!
When are they going to admit that animals are sentient beings worthy of respect?
Theres no excuse!
Please stop this horrible act. I beg u
When? When they are taught from an early age that animals are sentient beings worthy of respect.
Abhorrent. Yet cruelty as bad and even more horrific happens legally in the UK on a daily basis. Factory farming and inhumane slaughter of any sentient being is vile, cruel and totally unnecessary.
BOYCOTT DOG MEAT TRADE S KOREA !!
