Korea Times filePolice are investigating the deaths of stray cats, many of which died from rat poison, in Daejeon s Sintanjin area. Some residents in that neighborhood suspect someone has been deliberately killing cats there since 2008.
According to a KBS report on Monday, the cats had been poisoned with pieces of chicken left out as bait. A cat was found dead in the residential area only a few steps from a heap of trash where two pieces of chicken were covered in a blue powder.
Police took the carcass and the contaminated meat to the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency for analysis. The results showed that they all contained signs of rodenticide.
