Did it get bitten on the neck…
Oh, little one…
The gruesome serial cat murder case
Occurring at an apartment complex
The ones who have been attacking stray cats were wild dogs
Resident: There were two or three black-furred dogs, and there were a variety of dogs in yellow, white, and mixed in color…
I saw around 7 dogs in total.
Where did they come from?
Resident:(Nearby), they were being fed somewhere in Maebongsan
So those dogs came all the way here.
From the apartment complex,
Maebongsan is located around 1km away
Resident: It’s been so long, around a few years.
Met in the mountains and they married one another and gave birth to pups again...
Around 6 years ago,
the dogs gathered up in the mountains and have been living there.
Look, it’s there! There!
Residents left that there so they can survive the winter.
(Wild dogs who were being taken care of here)
Council officer: They must’ve been abandoned as the district at Seongdong-gu went under reconstruction.
So we are guessing that’s why they climbed up the nearest mountains.
Due to reconstruction,
abandoned dogs lost both their homes and their family…
At a starving state, they roamed around the road
For the dogs who always had to find something to eat
They had to eliminate cats who are their competitors.
When I hear the wild dogs bark at night, I saw the cats dying one by one…
Is there any way to stop the cruel hunting?
Resident: If you see here, there’s some kind of path from the guardrail…
I saw (pack of wild dogs) here a few times.
Cliff that’s around 20m high
Where the dogs come in and out often
(Installed observation cameras)
Slides
However…
No matter how long they wait
Only two dogs show up on top of the cliff
I have seen other dogs coming out
Maybe ‘cause they’re scared or for other reasons
(Two dogs) remains roaming around here.
Just when they’re full of curiosity!
Oh! What should I do! I caught one!!
Oh??
I caught (a pup), I did!!!
Production crew: I kept hearing crying from here, so I was taking a look for a moment.
But I saw that this one fell off the cliff
One pup
that fell beneath the cliff
I was taking a stroll with my dog, but I saw my dog smelling something,
I thought it was a dead mouse, (but looking closely) it was a pup.
(Another pup found beneath the cliff)
Full of worries whether
the pups have any injuries…
Im Tae-Hwan, Vet | 24Hr. Central Animal Medical Center: (I think) it’s been two or three days old.
Injuries to the skeletal system can cause major problems with walking, but that's not the case here.
Thankfully, the two pups are safe :’(
Maybe ‘cause they were taking care of pups on top of the cliff
they couldn’t leave the place…
Decided to hurry on rescuing! (Installed cages on top of the cliff)
In a moment
Came!!
The two showed up!
carefully goes in towards the capturing cage
Rescue successful!
Tragic life of
having to kill others
to survive…
Now…
For them to live a really nice life, people will need to help.
Because it is a problem caused by people, people will have to solve it.
After being held to the hospital...
Checking their health conditions…
However
Jung Wook-Hyun, Vet | Nowon ‘N’ Animal Medical Center: She is carrying pups in her stomach Production crew: Pardon?
“She is pregnant right now”
While examining, two pups were found inside her stomach
Paws, hind paws
If that’s the case,
Who’s the mother of the pups found underneath the cliff…?
Jung Wook-Hyun, Vet | Nowon ‘N’ Animal Medical Center: Based on ultrasound calculations, birth is estimated to be three days away.
(Possibly among the pack), another mother gave birth
For whatever reason, that mother left the pack
And because this one is pregnant,
due to maternal love, she must’ve been taking care of the pups left behind.
Because she’s a mother as well…
she couldn’t ignore the fact that
pups are left on top of the cliff.
Head of apartment management: After being rescued, the residents really liked it.
And there were no other issues. It became quite quiet for a while.
And another great news!
The pups came out in great health.
She gave safe delivery to two pups suddenly at around 6 A.M.
Strong & healthy
Let go!
Gimme back ma babes
I’m sorry...
Forget about the painful past of being abandoned
Meet a warm family
and live happy with your pups♡
