Dog meat: First Cambodian province bans sale and consumption
6 hours ago
BBC
A province in Cambodia has become the first in the country to ban the sale and consumption of dog meat.
Siem Reap is best known as the home of the Angkor Wat temple complex, but an animal rights group says the region had become a "hub" for the trade.
The new ban will include punishments of up to five years in prison or fines of between 7 and 50 million riel ($12,200; £7,940), AFP reports.
The decision follows similar moves in other parts of Asia in recent months.
The consumption of dog meat is not widespread in Cambodia, with fewer than 12% of people eating it on a regular basis, according to animal rights charity Four Paws. But the organisation identified Siem Reap province as a "key hot spot" in the trade.
The director of Siem Reap's department of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, Tea Kimsoth, told Reuters news agency that tourism had led to a growth in demand for dog meat in the region.
"Dog meat has been a lot more popular following the arrivals of foreigners, especially among the (South) Koreans," he said.

Re: Siem Reap Province Bans Dog Meat Traffic
Good news. My friend had his favourite dog stolen for dog meat. They rove around looking for dogs and grab whatever one they can find. Hopefully this practice will now stop.

Would be nice if they do.
I wouldn't start letting the dogs roam happily just yet though.
Re: Siem Reap Province Bans Dog Meat Traffic
It is great news what surprised me was the amount of dogs if this number is reliable 3 Million dogs a year WoW
Bangkok Post said
PHNOM PENH: A Cambodian province popular with tourists has banned the trade and slaughtering of dogs for meat, saying that canines are loyal and capable of protecting property and even serving in the military.
Siem Reap province, home to the ancient Angkor Wat ruins, is the first place to issue such a ban in Cambodia, where an estimated three million dogs a year are slaughtered for meat.

Re: Siem Reap Province Bans Dog Meat Traffic
I know a dog meat restaurant in Phnom Penh. They are doing a roaring trade at the moment..
Spoiler:
Re: Siem Reap Province Bans Dog Meat Traffic
Sorry to be a spoiler on this one but I've seen and been chased by the mangy street dogs in Thailand and Laos so I think keeping dog numbers under control is a valuable thing for this country. Sure if they start desexing all the street dogs and seeing that they get cared for, great. But I don't see that happening. It's not like its treated like a delicacy here. It's just cheap meat for the poor. I doubt too many well off Khmais eat it.

Not in my experience.Roadie wrote:It's just cheap meat for the poor. I doubt too many well off Khmais eat it.
A lot of men believe it improves sexual performance and as such, is a delicacy.
Lots of our police friends in SNV ate it quite regularly.

Re: Siem Reap Province Bans Dog Meat Traffic
There is a four star star general who's city residence is a sizable small compound in the heart of leafy Toul Kork.
He is kinda as King of of his well heeled street as he is of the vast northern border that is his command.
Also has a small mixed breed herd of domestic dogscunder his command. His wife's usual stupid lion dog things, a few rat dogs and little barking alarms. And of course his muscle.
One evening the poor second cook slipped out for 5 seconds for something.
Oooops, out trotted the No1 four star guard dog. Much loved loved by the boss. 9 year old classic Cambodian black-tongue ridgeback crossed wiith a great dane. Or something. All muscle, always alert, standing on his toes, prancing gait.
Never seen again. Click of fingers just like that, King dog snatched off the street in 5 seconds flat.
Sorry, just musing.
But the point is - dognapping for the food trade is as pervasive as the pox. It can happen to anybody everywhere.
Worse, i believe it is mostky for the huge export trade >>East.
BUT, we sure are going to need those vaccination teams, for rabies. And maybe the vacectomy team too.
For sure.

Re: Siem Reap Province Bans Dog Meat Traffic
I am not sure.
I can buy 4 Viagaras at the local pharmacy (To name Only One brand) for $1.50 and even cheaper online. there must be another reason!
It takes all kinds I suppose.
I gotten bitten by a trigger fish scuba diving in PNG he took out quite a big chunk of my thigh. I must admit I enjoyed going back down spearing him! We BBQ'd him that night. I really loved it!
