S. Korea's ex-president hounded over dumped dogs

Seoul, South Korea (Reuters): A South Korean animal rights group has filed a plea against former president Park Geun-hye for abandoning nine pet dogs in the presidential Blue House after being dismissed from office over a corruption scandal.

All pet dogs are of a Korean breed of hunting dogs ‘Jindos’ known for their loyalty, native to Jindo Island off the southwest coast of the Korean peninsula.

Park left the Blue House presidential complex on Sunday, two days after the Constitutional Court dismissed her from office over a corruption scandal involving big business and financial favors.

She returned to her private residence in the upmarket Gangnam district of the capital, Seoul.

Some neighbors there had given Park a pair of Jindos in early 2013, when she left for the Blue House. The pair had seven puppies in January this year.

The Busan Korea Alliance for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said on its Twitter account it had filed a complaint against Park on a charge of animal abandonment.

The Blue House confirmed that Park had left the dogs there but denied they had been abandoned.

A Blue House spokesman, Kim Dong-jo said, "She told Blue House staff to take good care of the dogs and to find good foster homes for the puppies if necessary."

Another animal rights group, Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth, said it was willing to care for the animals and find them homes.

The group said in a statement, "We want to help these dogs so that they won't be adopted thoughtlessly or end up in dog shelters.”
