Can see the bloodstain clearly
A shocking incident that happened on a street in the daylight
What happened here..?
Resident: I think he abused his dog upon alcohol consumption. Treats the dog as if he’s a toy.
Resident: I live within 100 meters from the grandpa’s house and I can hear everything from my house. Sound of the dog whimpering
Resident: He’d yank the dog’s ears, tail, and genitals
Countless people witnessed the dog being abused
Producer: This is blood?
Resident: Yes Producer: Wow... it is blood…
Bloodstains all over the place
Resident: He’s always drunk. At first, he was just drunk but starting one day he started to bother and beat up the dog.
We decided to wait for the grandpa who people said brings out his dog outside the house
How much time must have passed?
A grandpa comes outside the house
We approach him quickly to check if it’s the grandpa the village residents have informed us
but, we don’t see a dog next to him
Production crew: We heard there’s a dog, so we came to check out the dog.
Grandpa: Film..? F**ing $%^#
Production crew: Is the dog not here? Right now?
Grandpa: Dog’s at the house below, take him
Production crew: House below?
Grandpa’s plastered since daylight
He guides us into his house
And…
There really was a dog in the corner of the room
Looking at the dog closely...
His left ear was left only half of it.
On top of that, as if it hasn’t been long since the cut, the wound hasn’t healed completely yet
Oh my gosh... how can anyone do this to a living thing...?
Producer: What happened to his ear?
F**ker: I bit it off. I rip things off when I’m upset
His answer was shocking
For some reason, he says he bit off his ear himself
Producer: Why did you do that to a living dog?
F**ker: Don’t ask the story.
Producer: That’s illegal, against the law.
F**ker: You.. piece of mother…@#$%^@&
Producer: If you abuse animals… they F**ker: F**k you! I legally f**king
Producer: It’s written as a law
F**ker: So what are you going to do?
Producer: This should have been filed for a lawsuit.
F**ker: F**k that, I can do whatever I want to with the dog I own, you can’t say anything to me.
Producer: This should be a fined for under 5 million won (approx. $4,000), this
F**ker: F**k you, take your glasses off, you mother
We couldn’t keep up a conversation with him as he was extremely drunk
If his words are true, his actions clearly fall under animal abuse
What kind of things has this fella endured through with such a tiny body?
To grasp the situation more accurately, we visited the site with an expert
Grandpa’s wife: Who are you guys?
Animal Protection Group: We’re from the Animal Protection Group
Grandpa’s wife: From where?
Animal Protection Group: From the Animal Protection Group.
Whom greeted the production crew wasn’t the grandpa, but his wife
Animal Protection Group: We want to check if the dog’s safe.
Wife: There’s no need for that, he injured his ear due to an accident but he got it treated and there’s not an issue.
Producer: The dog injured his ear by an accident?
Wife: Yes, a motorcycle was passing by
Producer: And cut his ear like that?
Wife: I mean, that can happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Producer: Did you witness him getting run over by a bike?
Wife: I didn’t. I heard a bike run over him fast
Producer: Then how did you know?
Wife: I mean… someone told me that passing by.
Producer: People… said that?
Wife: Right. People said that.
She claims it’s a wound due to an accident
But, to say it was due to being run over by a bike, the cross-section of his ear is too cut clean
Has he even gotten proper treatment?
Animal Protection Group: What about the treatment?
Wife: That, I mean of course at a hospital.
Producer: Which hospital? Treatment?
Animal Protection Group: Which hospital?
Wife: I’m not sure. I heard ** village.
We visited the hospital right away
The hospital must know the cause of the wound
Producer: Was there a dog that came in with a cut ear? Man-O?
Vet: Yes
Producer: You know him?
Vet: Yes
Producer: Was it an accident?
Vet: Of course
Vet’s shocking answer… was it really due to an accident..?
Animal Protection Group: Saying that a wheel ran over it but he didn’t get hurt anywhere else but the end of his ear…
Vet: No, he was hurt all over. He was given shots and stuff.
Animal Protection Group: What about an X-Ray?
Vet: What do you mean an X-Ray, I’m old. I can know just by touching it. Don’t ask anymore. I wrapped everything up.
Animal Protection Group: I cannot understand what you’re saying right now.
Vet: No comment. I don’t wanna talk about it anymore.
Producer: No comment? Why is this something you wouldn’t comment on?
Vet: I’m not gonna say anything anymore so think however you want it.
I SAID 'NO COMMENT'!!!
Wow…
Residents say they’ve witnessed the dog being abused often
Then, perhaps someone witnessed the dog on the day he injured his ear.?
After we asked around the surrounding area
we were able to meet the witness who witnessed the situation then.
Witness: One day, I came outside and the grandpa was yanking the dog’s ear
And so since the dog was whimpering due to pain, we told him to stop and others tried to stop him, but.
The grandpa brought out a pair of scissors. A big pair of scissors.
A shocking attest saying she saw the grandpa holding the scissors
Witness: This is the scissors with blood stains..
Producer: On the scissors?
Witness: Yes
A photo containing the horrifying site
Witness: And after, looking closely at the dog, the dog didn’t have part of his ear. This part…
The dog’s face was flooding with blood and so one side was all stained with blood
An unbelievably horrifying story
The grandpa’s been abusing the dog every now and then, drunk
As we have gotten testimonies from the residents, we cannot let it stay unattended.
F**ker: What!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grandpa gets worked up just by seeing the production crew
Animal Protection Group: Let’s have a talk
F**ker: Talk about what
Animal Protection Group: Stop losing your temper
F**ker: Can’t tell me what! I raised this rascal since he was three and am a very loving person towards dogs…
Producer: Then why did you cut his ear?
F**ker: Why would I cut his ear!!!!! I told you he was run over
Producer: There are many witnesses
F**ker: What witnesses?! Bring me the witnesses
Producer: We have secured testimonies
F**ker: So then bring them!!!!!!!!! Bring them!!!!
Producer: We have it recorded
F**ker: Camera what! So bring them
Animal Protection Group: Sir, stop it. Woah woah woah!!
F**ker: Bring them! Yo f**ker, bring everyone who witnessed
At last, he even acts violently.
Producer: That day, even you said it yourself.
F**ker: You believe what comes out of a drunk person’s mouth? Do you believe in a contract signed while drunk?
It’s not easy to even carry out a conversation amid him neglecting his abuses
Rescue Team Vet: A lot of people are talking about it
F**ker: Ugh, just come in first
Animal Protection Group: Perhaps you can think your way of loving may be different but,
F**ker: I feed him, bathe him well, and stuff
Animal Protection Group: We’re not talking about feeding him… but the problem is what kind of physical infringement he’s receiving. Are you thinking of keep raising him?
F**ker: Of course!!!! I’ve grown fond of him…
Animal Protection Group: You never thought about sending him off to where he’d be able to run around freely in a better environment?
F**ker: Nope
※ Currently, the law has changed so whenever abuse is suspected, the relevant dog and the guardian are separated, and the guardian is accused※
We decided to talk with his wife
Rescue Team Vet: It’s not because he’s bad or has a bad personality, but this is also an illness. He can’t control himself when he’s drunk
After having a long conversation with the testimonies and proofs his wife eventually began to tell us the truth
Wife: Whenever he drinks then he kind of abuses or the like. Since he can’t relieve it on people, he’s relieving it on the dog…
Rescue Team Vet: You might be sad, but if we get agreement from you then we’ll take the dogs and for Man-O we think it’s better for him to first get treated then sent for adoption.
Wife: But, what to do with them. They’re so pitiful. Them. the little babies…
After a long time, the wife has been determined
She decided to free the dogs who must have endured through nightmarish time
Wife: Just take them. Just do that.
This fella is also another dog the grandpa is raising, Dolbo
The wife has approved us to take both dogs with us.
It’s time to say goodbye with the terrifying owner
Wife: I’m sorry Man-O. Live well.
To the fellas who escaped the terrifying home, a new life will await them
Animal Protection Group: We often are informed of cases of alcoholic owners turning abusive towards the dog when drunk even though they love their dogs when not
When under the influence if they cannot control themselves their once abuse can result in tremendous pain and trauma to the dog
So even for Man-O’s case, we were under the circumstances of having to separate the dog from its owner
How’s Man-O’s health?
Vet: If you look, the cross-section of his ear is a straight line.
If run over by a bike, it wouldn’t be so straight like a line as if was cut
It can only have such a straight line when it’s cut by kitchen scissors or the like, cut in one-go
Perhaps it’s due to the trauma from being abused…
He reacts sensitively, trembling even upon bringing something closer to his ear
He’ll have to live his life with half of his left ear
We’re worried if he’ll have any aftereffects…
Vet: Just by looking at it, exactly half of his ear has been cut.
If his bone has been damaged, he can have lingering pain. But, that’s not the case which is very fortunate
But, the problem is he’s not even a year old.
He’s very young… abuse in the youth will remain as trauma to them.
No animal abuse is justified nor accepted under any circumstances... May all lives be respected... 🙏
