Video of distraught owner accompanying dying cat brings netizens to tears
Local production should suffice and it comes in the form of a short video where a man could be seen accompanying his dying cat.
A great number of netizens were touched by the scene, with some even coming forward to share their experience.

'This guy is amazing. His tears do not flow like me,' said @fahmiparidin. @Raphscorp said he has been in that position, and will never forget his cat Upil.
'I am not sure if the cat dies for real on the video, but my cat was similar,' said @KwinggGrengg, adding that his cat meowed many times, from loud to slow, then loud again. Lastly, there was only the sound of the wind and her body became cold.
However, @kepalakoteyyy was unimpressed, saying that the video content was staged.
But do cats really need to suffer as they are nearing the end of their lives? On a separate note, euthanasia is one way for pet owners to give their pets a good, peaceful death.
According to Cornell University, the euthanasia solution is usually a barbiturate, the same class of drugs used for general anesthesia.
At a much higher dose, this solution provides not only the same effects as general anesthesia (loss of consciousness, loss of pain sensation), but suppresses the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
As the solution is injected, the animal loses consciousness and within minutes the heart and lungs stop functioning. Cornell University claims that since the pet is not conscious, they do not feel anything.
Regardless of whether it is painful or not, we are certain every good pet owners out there will feel the loss of their furry companion. —June 24, 2025

Seoul ends troubled private adoption as ministry takes full control
Adoption reform: A file photo showing social workers caring for babies at a community church in southern Seoul. — AFP THE nation is set to overhaul its adoption system by ending the decades-old practice of outsourcing adoptions to private agencies, which has led to widespread allegations of abuse. South Korea, Asia's fourth-largest economy and a global cultural powerhouse, sent more than 140,000 children overseas between 1955 and 1999. But an official enquiry concluded this year that the international adoption process had been riddled with irregularities, including 'fraudulent orphan registrations, identity tampering, and inadequate vetting of adoptive parents'. The rights of South Korean children had been violated, the landmark investigation by a truth commission found. The independent body established by the state called for an official apology and blamed the government for the issues, especially a failure to regulate adoption fees that effectively turned it into a profit-driven industry. South Korea will introduce a 'newly restructured public adoption system, under which the state and local governments take full responsibility for the entire adoption process,' South Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare said. The change is a 'significant step towards ensuring the safety and promoting the rights of adopted children,' the ministry added. International adoption began after the Korean War as a way to remove mixed-race children, born to Korean mothers and American soldier fathers, from a country that emphasised ethnic homogeneity. It became big business in the 1970s to 1980s, bringing international adoption agencies millions of dollars as South Korea overcame post-war poverty and faced rapid and aggressive economic development. But the system failed children, the truth commission said in March, with a failure to follow 'proper legal consent procedures' for South Korean birth parents resulting in highly-publicised reports of lost children being put up for overseas adoption. Under the new system, key procedures – such as assessing prospective adoptive parents and matching them with children – will be deliberated by a ministry committee, in accordance with the principle of the 'best interests of the child'. Activists, however, say the measure should be merely a starting point and warn it is far from sufficient. 'The government should prioritise implementing the findings of the truth commission, issue an official apology, and work to help the tens of thousands of Koreans who were sent abroad for adoption, said writer Lisa Wool-rim Sjoblom, a Korean adoptee who grew up in Sweden. — AFP

South Korea reports African swine fever case after four-month hiatus
Quarantine officials block a road leading to a pig farm in the county of Yangyang, Gangwon Province, on Feb. 12, 2023, after confirming an African swine fever case there. - Photo: Yonhap SEOUL: (Bernama-Yonhap) -- South Korea on Wednesday (July 16) reported its first African swine fever (ASF) case in about four months, Yonhap News Agency reported. The latest ASF case was found at a farm located in the inter-Korean border county of Paju in Gyeonggi Province, which raises some 2,500 pigs, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. It was the fourth such case this year, with the previous one occurring in the city of Yangju in March. The government issued a 48-hour standstill order for pig farms and related facilities in the region, and is taking necessary measures to prevent the spread of the virus, including the culling of affected pigs. ASF does not affect humans but is deadly to pigs. There is currently no vaccine or cure for the disease. - Bernama-Yonhap
