South Korean National Broadcaster, KBS TV has apologized after revelations that a running horse was tripped by a rope and crashed head-first into the ground during the filming of a historical drama and died about a week later amid allegations of animal abuse.
KBS said it will seek ways to prevent any recurrences and map out guidelines to guarantee animal safety.
A petition was also uploaded to the Viewers' Rights Center noticeboard on KBS's website the same day. As of Sunday, there are a number of petitions demanding that the show be canceled.
