Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Shocking animal abuse in PP.

Post by whiteribbon »

Slightly old news but this was posted 4 days ago by Peta Cambodia on Twitter and picked up today by PPPost.
It "shows shirtless men viciously beating pigs over the head with metal pipes before cutting their throats" in a Phnom Penh slaughterhouse.
But when shown to Ministry official Sen Sovann he said he was outraged and will take action when he finds out where the video was taken!

The full story can be found here: https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/ ... ouse-video

Just wondering, what is the approved humane way of killing animals in a slaughterhouse?

Rapid death with minimal suffering. Definitely not the way as shown in the video. Wouldn't cost the slaughterhouse that much to buy some stunners and separate the animals so they don't have to go through so much stress before being killed. I love my meat but this video makes me puke. The suffering they bring upon these animals in this video is absolutely unnecessary.

It's an incredibly inefficient way of slaughtering them, chasing round after them trying to conk them on the head a dozen times. It'd be a lot quicker and easier to line them up and bolt them.
