| Subject | Employee Welfare? Animal welfare?… conflict over the street cats' Rest Area in Gangdong District Office | ||
|
" Is cat welfare first or human welfare first? " The Seoul Gangdong District Office, which is leading animal welfare policy, was concerned about the issue of Gilgo-yang rest area. The labor union is requesting the removal of the Gilgoyang rest area, which is installed on the roof of the annex building. The labor union of the Gangdong District Office has recently officially requested the relocation of the Gilgoyang Rest Area facilities to its district office. The rest area was set up on the roof of the annex building in February last year. The rooftop was originally used as a resting place for employees, but after it became a rest area for street cats, the union started receiving complaints from employees who complained of bad smell, hair loss and allergies caused by cat spray. The problem is that the shelter is symbolic of animal welfare policy, a flagship project of Gangdong District. In 2012, the district office employees and residents started growing the street in temporary shelters, setting up the country's first food center in 2013 in public buildings and parks. The rooftop rest area is also part of the establishment. The shelter is now home to about 15 cats, which are cared for by volunteers such as the Micat Protection Association. Some critics say that while some people are sympathetic to the ribbon, the first community center for abandoned dogs, and some praise Kang Dong-koo's achievements. The union explained that after the establishment of the shelter, employees continued to file complaints and were faced with limitations. Baek Nam-sik, the labor union's chairman, said, " At first, I was so aware of the fact that I went to government officials who liked animals. " Some point out that it is not likely to take advantage of the achievement before the election, but most of them are caused by the fact that the timing is right between them, " said Baek, adding, " We have five more off-the-recounter technologies. " But cat moms are in a different position. While Kim Mi-ja, chairman of the Mighat Protection Association, and Kim Yoon-hee, said, " There are problems in other areas caused by the hatred of Gil-Go-ryeong and Cat Mother, " the problem is also being raised in Gangdong's district. " It is problematic for the labor union to demand the coexistence of animal welfare workers, even though the number of complaints related to the welfare program has decreased by 90 percent due to the establishment of the welfare center. " It has been reported that the two sides held a meeting to coordinate their opinions, but failed to reach an agreement. The union also mentioned that it had proposed an alternative plan to relocate temporary facilities on the rooftop of a residential center with few employees and Mount Iljasan, a greenbelt region. However, the shelter argued, " We haven't heard about the alternatives, and the problem is to unconditionally oppose the alternatives for coexistence between humans and animals. " A source at the shelter said, " We can solve the problem after consulting, but it is only inconvenient to suggest that the demand for the relocation is made under the selfish condition of taking care of the welfare of the people.
