A farmer in North Jeolla province is under investigation over controversy of how 40 of his cattle died from starvation. Dong-Yeon Moon claims he could not afford to feed the cows due to soaring feed costs, however animal activist groups point out Moon refused feed provided by the government to avert the disaster. Moon's defence is it would have only been a temporary measure, not an ultimate solution. Critics are roaring that Moon chose to 'murder' the cows in the interests of protesting against the government. Moon's 40 surviving cows are now dying from starvation. The provincial farmers' association is outraged by the government's decision to investigate Moon. Courtesy, The Korea Times.
