Dog Meat is Growing in Popularity Among Cambodians; Several Restaurants in Phnom Penh

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.

I don't think it's originally Cambodian, it's Chinese.
I thought consumption of animal protein by us humans, was happening wayyyy before the Chinese were around?

The way dogs destined for the dog meattrade are treated is horrendous. Often kept hog-tied in tiny confined cages or sacks, with muzzles bound, then beaten to death, usually with a club or a hammer - very barbaric.
A blow torch is used to remove the fur, really is gut-wrenchingly horrific treatment of what many, including myself, consider to be mans best friend.
Quite often they are stolen pets, some are stray village dogs. Their last days/hours would be unbearably cruel, and as intelligent animals, they would be in unimaginable pain and terror.

Links below are not from Cambodia, are from Indonesia, but give an insight as to what goes on in the dog meat industry - from investigations into dogs slaughtered for meat in Bali, East Jakarta and the Tomohon and Langowan markets in North Sulawesi, Indonesia

A friend of mine had a pig as a pet in his backyard. Cute animal and slapping that behind was just something. Like some of the girls in colombia.

I quite like frog, was it the big legs or the whole fried little ones?
