According to recent studies, approximately 120,000 pets are abandoned in Korea. There are two reasons behind this trend. First, there are high costs associated with raising pets. Until recently, Korea did not have a standardized pricing structure for vets, and people were taking loans to pay for veterinary care. The government imposes fines for abandoning pets, but they are significantly less than the cost of raising a pet. Then, adopting a pet in Korea is extremely easy. Puppy mills are a lucrative business in Korea, and people can adopt a pet without undergoing thorough checks. This trend facilitates impulsive adoption without long-term commitment. To reduce pet abandonment, pets must be microchipped and registered, in accordance with the Animal Protection Act. Alongside this, there should be thorough financial and security checks of potential owners prior to adoption. There are regulations in the UK that enforce not only assessments but also home checks before adopting a pet.
