A rural village in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.
Dogs trapped in cramped iron bars look at people.
It is a so-called iron’floating field’ that cannot tread on the ground with its feet and can not block the cold winds of winter.
In response to reports of running an illegal dog breeding farm, an animal protection group launched a rescue operation.
As I approached to see if I missed the human touch, I waved my tail and greeted me.
Dog farms are located around Uiam Lake, where livestock breeding is prohibited.
Dozens of dogs have been raised without permission, and illegal breeding and distribution have been conducted, and so-called dog factories have been operated.
Animal rights groups have gathered evidence of the illegality, but the farmers pretend that nothing happened.

Eventually, only after reporting it to the local government, the dog was handed over to an animal protection organization.
All 38 dogs were rescued.
All of them are famous breeds that are traded at high prices, but the mother was bred like a puppy-bearing machine, and the offspring were sold without being able to properly share with the mother.
Due to poor care, many dogs have been infected with heartworm, and puppies have skin diseases and ticks.
It is estimated that these illegal dog breeding grounds will reach thousands of locations nationwide.

The protection organization has accused the farmer for violating the Animal Protection Act.
Upon completion of the veterinary hospital treatment, we plan to find a new owner who will be a warm family.
