A shocking scene of that day which made her doubt
what she saw and heard
What the informant showed us is a cat family in the box
What happened to these lovely folks?
Informant : I heard a loud, cat crying, so I went out to check
Informant : They're in here!
A cat crying coming out from the trash bag tied up tightly
Were cats in the bag?
Feeling nervous, as she loosened the knot of the bag,
Oh gosh
To her surprise, there were four live kittens in the bag
Informant : One of them who didn't look well in the morning on that day (when they were found)
died and only three could survive
One of them died at last due to the lack of air in the bag
Informant : It's technically a murder
It must have been suffocating as they couldn't breathe well inside the bag
That's why they cried so hard
They stopped crying after they were taken out
If it was a little bit later, the remaining three could've lose their lives
Then who's this cat taking care of them?
Informant : She's not their mom. It's been 20 days since she came home
Her kittens who were not well lost their lives one by one
The stray cat Ray whom she has been looking after gave birth recently
Unfortunately, all of her kittens passed away..
That's how they could fill the void left by the loss of loved ones,
who are their mother for the kittens and the kittens for Ray
Informant : They never get parted from each other
other than when eating
Who on earth has done such cruelty to these poor kittens?
Perhaps there's a witness since they were found in the middle of the residential area?
Local : I saw nothing
I've seen many stay cats, but never saw one giving birth
Local : I have no clue
Someone must have felt bothered to raise them..
They would live on their own if the one just left them on the street
So naughty
While asking around, heard an unexpected story
PD : They're three kittens..! Local : My acquaintance knows a stray cat whom she's fed, and she found that the cat's kittens went missing
PD : Oh, really? Local : She said she'll come right away
The stray cat who gave birth recently lost her kittens..!
Cat mom : What happened to the kittens? PD : They're alive
Cat mom : Are they alive? Can I check their color?
Checking the size and the hair color of the rescued kittens
Cat mom : One of them had this pattern
The stray cat she's been taking care of has dark gray fur, and her kittens looked like her..
A lingering question will be dispelled once we find the mother cat who lost her kittens
But she disappeared after her kittens went missing..
Upon receiving the reports from the residents
who saw the mother cat in the field nearby
Searched everywhere where she would hide, but she wasn't seen at all
A critical report from the resident
Resident : The district office distribute this type of garbage bag to street sweepers
It's not on sale in general grocery stores
Compared to white garbage bags for general use,
Blue garbage bags are for a public purpose, not for sale to general citizens
The color of the bag where the kittens were found was blue!
Perhaps a street sweeper put the kittens in the sack into the garbage bag?
Sweeper : I put everything not recycled in here
PD : Didn't you hear a crying sound?
Sweeper : No, I didn't PD : Not even when you passed by?
Sweeper : I'd have known if live animals were crying inside here.
The texture when touching live animals and food waste is different too..
On the day of the incident, the sweeper was on duty but he didn't hear a cat crying or find any suspious garbage bags
The footages from every installed surveillance cameras
which had recorded the place where the kittens were abandoned
and everything before the informant came to rescue the kittens,
might give us the answer?
A lady riding a bike stopped by
and started collecting discarded papers
Leaving no room for doubt, she left
After she left, a man wearing a cap appeared
But then..
He took something white out from the basket
He rolled up and almost crumpled the white thing and pushed it hard into the blue garbage bag
He just put into it...
Tying the garbage bag into a dense knot
and going back to the way he came from
After a minute he disappeared,
The informant's daughter dashed to the garbage bag upon hearing the cat's crying resonating the whole vilalge
Then the kittens were found..
Only one touched the blue trash bag before they were found
The most definite evidence to track down the missing man is..
PD : What all we need to find is that bicycle
Store owner : It's this one!
Right, this red one!
Found the one which looks most similar to the man's bicycle
A rectangular stand on the rear wheel
and the red frame
Top and down tubes are both narrow, straight, which goes downwards
And another thing,
He appeared from the left side of the electricity pole
and went back to the way he came,
which indicates that he's most active in this part of the hood
Based on these two clues,
the crew began asking around
While searching for the most similar-looking bicycle,
found the man passing next to the crew's vehicle..!
His outfit and bicycle look very similar to the ones in the footage!
To confirm, they had to meet the man
PD : The bicycle is pulled over
Found the bicycle in the corner of the street
With the white basket, red frame
and the rectangular stand
It's exactly the one in the footage
Time to check
Animal rescue team leader : Excuse me, can I talk to you for a sec?
Someone put little kittnes in the sack and abandoned it nearby
Have you heard of it?
No / Not at all?
Don't think it happened
The man said he's not aware of such incident
PD : We secured the footage of you
His wife : Did you abandon a cat?
He hurriedly left upon hearing that we got the footage of him abandoning the kittens
Soon after
Man : Anyone would abandon kittens after their cat gives birth to them
The man finally talks about the incident
Man : The mother cat had her kittens in the loads
I was freaked out as she ran to me
So you did this because you were mad?
Man : Any man would abandon them if they were astouned that much. How one can just leave them as they were!
He got freaked out because of the mother cat and abandoned the kittens out of anger
So you actually didn't care whether they died or not
If you were in my shoes, you would have been angry, wanting to end their lives
Don't you feel guilty about it?
I can't even catch a rat then, huh?
No humans on earth have a right to kill stray animals
That's why the law exists to prohibit animal cruelty
Okay, I'm sorry (Being sarcastic)
The man left and said everyone would've done the same thing as he did
Police station
Abandoning kittens in the garbage should be subject to the full penalty of law to prevent future incidents
Anyone commiting animal cruelty, leading to death or any acts of animal abuse, is sentenced to 2 years in jail
or punishable by a 20,000,000 WON fine according to the Animal Protection Law
Based on the indicment submitted today, the culprit will be punished
Stray cats might be an uncomfortable being and hatred for some,
But no one has a right to impose pain on live creatures and put them to their death
All we hope for them is to meet a good family..
Informant : I'll do my best to raise them healthily until they find a good family
Informant's daughter : Hope they become healthy and grow strong
Poor lives abandoned like trash..
We pray such cruelty never happens again
