Canine catchers, unlicensed slaughterhouses, 'special meal' restaurants are part of shady industry. FMTNews Rabies Cambodia
SIEM REAP: Cambodian dog meat traders drown, strangle and stab thousands of canines a day in a shadowy but sprawling business that traumatises workers and exposes them to deadly health risks like rabies.
A cheap source of protein, dog meat is still eaten in several Asian countries from China and South Korea to Vietnam and non-Muslim communities in Indonesia. An estimated two to three million dogs are slaughtered annually in Cambodia, according to the NGO Four Paws, which identified more than 100 dog meats restaurants in the capital Phnom Penh and about 20 in the temple town of Siem Reap.
“I got bitten by a dog but I did not get vaccinated because when I returned it was late at night,” Pring That told AFP in a village in Siem Reap as he cooked dog meat stew with fermented fish paste.Industrial-scale slaughterhouses in developing countries put some distance between workers and animals.After receiving delivery, shirtless men poke dogs with sticks into holding cages.
“By putting them in the cage and drowning them in a pit, we don’t have to hear their cries,” said one woman.
