Concerning the case of fatal assault of the dog by a sanitation worker in Kanagawa Animal Welfare center, we, Inuneko Kyusainowa, demand that the prefecture charge this worker and his company with property damage and violation of animal protection methods.
Here is the latest answer from Kanagawa prefecture.

We thank you so much for your cooperation in promoting animal welfare in Kanagawa prefecture.

We hereby answer your e-mail dated at September 21, 2014.

We are taking seriously what happened in the animal welfare center, which should be a model of animal welfare.

This case corresponds to the criminal law, article 261, and the Act on Welfare and Management of Animals, article 44.
We are considering whether or not to file charges, and the related potential problems.

Right now, we are pushing hard for correspondence regarding this accident, including concerns relating to the prevention of any recurrence.
We hope for your understanding.

Thank you so much for your answer dated at September 24, 2014.
I appreciate your consideration of legal options.
We, Inuneko Kyusainowa, think that the best way of preventing recurrence of this kind of problem is for the prefecture to file charges against the suspect.

The highest priority is a filing of charges to clarify all aspects of the case.
Details regarding the prevention of recurrence should be considered after the case is concluded.
Again, we ask for immediate charges of violation of the criminal law, article 261, and the Act on Welfare and Management of Animals, article 44.

Please hold a press conference to announce these charges.
