2 Cambodian men arrested for eating a dog. Revolting maybe, but is this illegal in Thailand ?


Just after midnight on June 20 the Banglamung Police received information on their 191 Hotline Number about animal abuse in the worker camp in M. 2 Takiantia, Banglamung. A patrol was sent to the location.

There sixty-seven year old Pornthip Pikulthong told them she was walking home, after buying food, and saw two men cutting up an animal. She thought it was a pig and so approached with an offer to buy some. The men refused and then waved her away. But she noticed the animal was a dog and hurried off to call the police.

The two men, Cambodian nationals, Pleng Phol, (37) and Chaiha Plengchaiha (25), admitted butchering the dog but insisted they did not kill the animal. They claimed it was their own dog that had died of illness earlier in the evening and so they decided to eat it.

Pol Capt Sittawat is not convinced by their story and has sent the dog to be examined for the real cause of death before deciding how to proceed further.

Personally I do not see the problem. Even if it was a soi dog. Eat them all. As Cambodians seem to cook all meats to the point of returning it to carbon would destroy most pathogens.
Bon appetit!
Mmmm, curried cur.

Cambodian construction workers eating Pattaya stray dogs shocks locals.

Pattaya dog lovers went to the police after they found out that Cambodian construction workers were catching strays for their dinner.
Up to 30 had gone missing in recent weeks from a patch of waste ground behind a sports complex in Huay Yai sub-district where there is construction work taking place.
Mrs Orn-anong Capser, 38, said she visited the area daily with others to feed the strays and give them medical attention if needed. She had noticed that the dog population was going down by about one a day.
But after police came no one was arrested – the Cambodians were just warned about eating dogs.

The police could not enter the construction site because it is run by the military. So it was decided just to talk to the Cambodians.
They were warned that this behavior was not acceptable in Thailand and that no more eating of dogs would be tolerated
