Investigating Avian Neglect and Welfare Violations: Case Studies in South Korea.

This paper investigates three significant cases of avian welfare violations in South Korea, emphasizing the detrimental effects of neglect and inadequate management practices. The first case concerns the mass mortality of birds in a Seoul park due to methomyl poisoning. The second case focuses on a botulism outbreak occurring on a quail farm. The third case examines the sustained mortality resulting from nutritional deficiencies and environmental stress on an ostrich farm. These cases highlight the urgent need for improved animal welfare practices and stricter regulatory measures to ensure the protection and well-being of avian species.
