Animal Abuse KDrama & KMovie
This a list of kdramas and kmovies that ave used real animal abuse for the entertainment, I've created this one just to be aware of it. I've never and I'll never support this kind of behavior. If I've rated some of the titles in this list, I watched it before I knew they had used real animal abuse for their stunts, I would've never watched it if I knew about it, now I avoid all kind of kdramas and kmovies that I know that animals have been mistreated.
When it comes to horses, they use wire stunts, which is very dangerous and hurtful for the horse. People haven't cared so much about it until one of the horses ended up dying irl for doing just this stunt in the kdrama The King of Tears, Lee Bang Won.

Drama staff tied wires to the horse’s legs and pulled on them to cause it to fall on purpose. This resulted in the horse lying down motionless for as far as the video can tell. Later on, KBS gave a statement to claim that the horse got up by itself and the team sent it back after checking that there were no external injuries. Unfortunately, the horse passed on a week after filming.
