This is an update on this case from Busan KAPCA’s Facebook page on February 26, 2014. We have been notified by the Geumjeong Police that this case has been classified as unresolved due to the lack of leads. They stated that they will resume the investigation if any new clues emerge. Since this happened at a remote area it seems that they are having difficulties locating witnesses or finding clues. If you have any information about this case, please contact us. Anyway, the heinous animal abuser will still be living amongst us as if nothing happened. There’s no guarantee that this animal abuser would not cross over from hurting animals to hurting humans. This is just terrible….

On November 23rd, 2013, our planning team was on their way to investigate a dog farm that we were tipped off when they accidentally found this at a secluded spot.

It was a dead body of a cat hanging on a barbed-wire fence.

It was so gruesome we could not believe our eyes….

It wasn’t just a typical killing…it was a body of a cat that was intentionally hung by the rope on a barbed-wire fence.

It was a criminal act of someone deliberately intended to kill…

Moreover, it was hung on the barbed-wire fence as if to show it off…

The perpetrator must be a psychopath to commit this cruel act…

Our planning team leader who has seen just about everything trembled with indignation at the horrendous sight of the dead cat.

The claws of the cat hanging on to the fence seems to show vividly the terror and agony of the cat at the time of her death in excruciating pain while desperately struggling to live….

What kind of human being, we can’t even call this person a human being, could have committed this monstrous criminal act?

Below are the photos from the scene.

Warning: Graphic. Viewer discretion is advised.

What kind of psycho would do such a thing?

Is this something a normal human being would do?

Even the police were tearful at the brutality of this scene.

Crime scene investigators came and conducted examination but we were told that no fingerprints were found to the time passed since the crime occurred and even the rope could not be used for identification because it’s made with slippery material.

The investigation will be conducted by the Busan Geum-Jeong Police.

We went around and asked the neighbors to find witness and someone told us that he saw the cat about a week ago.

That means this cat died at least a week ago and she’s been left hanging on this fence since then.

If our planning team did not happen find her, how long would this cat be left here like this?

Thinking about this cat make us cry and boil with anger at the perpetrator.

What in the world has happen to this cat?

Why did she have to die in such an agony like this as if she was being executed…as if used as a display?

The perpetrator must be captured.

Even though Geum-Jeong Police has started the investigation we need your help to make sure a proper and thorough investigation is conducted.

Please ask Geum-Jeong Police for a proper investigation so that this animal abuser will be captured.

The investigation is in progress but please send messages to the police requesting full cooperation in order to prevent this case from fizzling out as merely an animal cruelty case.

Sample letter

Dear Busan Geum-Jeong Police Chief Doo-Hwan Yang and Korean National Police Agency,

Please capture and punish the heinous animal abuser who killed a cat by rope around the neck and left it hanging on a barbed-wire fence in Geum-Jeong, Busan.

양두환 부산 금정 경찰서장님과 경찰청께,

부산 금정구 고양이를 목매달아 죽이고 방치한 극악사건 살해범을 잡아 꼭 처벌해주시길 바랍니다.

We were told that this cat will be sent to the district office and disposed of by their sanitation department. So our planning team who were there at the scene held an individual funeral for her using money out of their own pockets.

We wanted the cat to feel the human compassion as she leaves this world for the last time…

We also wanted her to forget about the suffering inflicted by human being and rest in peace at last.

Her ashes will be placed at our member’s home for awhile and then will be scattered at a nice place.

For this cat to rest in peace, a proper funeral was important but most of all this subhuman animal abuser who perpetrated this crime must be captured.

Only after that this cat can rest in peace in heaven. So please help us!

Please help us capture this heinous animal abuser.

This is a rural secluded area so to find a witness we plan to offer a reward and put up a banner.

Please help us capture and punish this criminal. This crime must never be repeated again.

But most of all please pray that this cat will finally rest in peace.
