It wasn't the pesticide.

Some Khmer guy gave them too much rohypnol.

More Livestock Deaths in Ratanakkiri

Ratanakkiri Province, Cambodia News: On 13 December 2018, eleven more cows are reported to have died from poisoning in Ratanakkiri province. Officials say that the animals, belonging to farmers in Niang commune, Andoung Meas district, died from poisonous well water.
Last month, six cows died in the same commune of Rattanakkiri of suspected pesticide poisoning. There has been no investigation into the real cause of this incident and now there has been a repeat episode.
The authorities have simply warned local people to be cautious when using water for drinking or washing. When the villagers become sick and die also, will they blame the rice wine again ?

The repeated death of livestock is proof that in certain regions, such as the North-East, Cambodian land and water supplies are being contaminated by deadly poisons. The principal suspects are indiscriminate overuse of dangerous pesticides, many of which are outlawed in other countries, and potentially lethal chemicals used in local gold mining operations.
