Woman sparks controversy after visiting shopping mall with three wolfdogs (South Korea)

Recently, a video of a woman visiting a large shopping mall with three large dogs has gone viral online, sparking controversy. The owner said that the dogs do not need to be muzzled, and that they are suitable for use in emergencies.
On the 10th of this month, the owner, Mr. A, posted on his SNS that he had bought bread for the first time in a while and had gone to a shopping mall with his three dogs.
The mall is pet-friendly, and even has a pet park inside where pets can run around freely without being leashed.
At the time, Mr. A was walking around the shopping mall with three large dogs, each with a leash on each hand, and without a muzzle. When people saw the dogs, they were surprised and asked, "Are they wolves?"
Mr. A explained that it was a wolf dog. After this video was shared on multiple online communities and social media, netizens pointed out that the dog was not wearing a muzzle.
A expressed concern that Mitsuki might cause an accident. However, A insisted that this would not be a problem. A said that he would be able to control the bike even in an emergency, and that "the bike is a leash that I can control with my own strength."
"With regular leashes and harnesses, if the dog strains or jumps around, it can become difficult to control, regardless of gender," he said.
He also said, "If the dog is not a vicious one, a muzzle is not necessary," and "There is silent pressure to wear one as a matter of etiquette.
According to the current Animal Protection Law, the following vicious dogs are required to wear a muzzle: Tosa Inu, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, etc.
The five breeds are: German Shepherd, Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, and German Shepherd. Wolfdogs are not included. Despite Mr. A's explanation, the controversy continues among Internet users.
Those who point out the problem point out the danger of "wolf dogs," which are large dogs with wolf blood. Shopping malls are particularly popular because of the large number of families, including children, who visit them.
In addition, they expressed concern that there was a risk of an accident. They also commented that, "Even if muzzles are not a recommendation, it is right to wear them as a precaution," "If an emergency situation were to occur, it would be difficult to control the situation," and "
Some people responded negatively, saying, "People should refrain from actions that may cause harm to others." On the other hand, some people defended A, saying, "There was no accident, and there are no legal issues, so what's the problem?
"Is this a problem?", "Looking at the video, it looks like the dog has been trained", and "If the dog doesn't legally need a muzzle, then surely there is no reason for it to be criticised in relation to a muzzle."
