[geovalin]

Thai soldiers fired at six Cambodian migrant workers, wounding one of them, while they were attempting to cross the border into Thailand in search of luxury timber kranhuong, also known by its botanical name Dalbergia cochinchinensis.

 

Suon Sambo, head of the Cambodia-Thailand liaison bureau in Region 5, said that on the morning of May 24, his working group received a report from brigade unit 537 on the border in Pursat province’s Veal Veng district that Thai soldiers had arrested a Cambodian after he was wounded trying to smuggle kranhuong trees into Cambodia.

Thailand's high quality teak & rosewood were logged off to extinction by the very fatcats who recast themselves as corporados. Logging protected species is no different from shooting endangered species.

 

Sorry about that but, yep, shoot those people! Eat the rich!
