Dogs trapped in rusty bars find a man and bark.
The floor is full of feces and swarms of flies, so it’s impossible to find a clean spot.
In one corner there are bones and hair of a large dog.
This is an illegal breeding farm for dogs caught in Gangseo-gu, Busan.
The dogs are also in poor health.

There are also beagles with belly tumors larger than an adult male’s fist, and small dogs that appear to have lost their sight.

Animal protection organizations rescued approximately 450 dogs after breeding operator A gave up ownership.
Most dogs of this breed are popular as dogs.
This is a breeding facility run by the dog’s owner.
It was found to be an illegal building installed in a restricted development zone.

Mr. A, who has been breeding for 25 years, claims that he is having difficulties because he has not accepted dogs to the auction house for two to three years.

The animal protection organization, which has checked the history of recent transactions, believes that it is highly likely that the dog was sold through another home breeding farm run by A, and plans to file a police complaint against A for violating the Act’s Animal Protection Rules.

The city of Busan and Gangseo-gu plan to investigate the matter, believing there will be more illegal dog breeding and slaughtering.
