The quiet humdrum of Pattaya was broken yesterday by a significant operation led by the Chon Buri Department of Livestock. The team, under the guidance of Police Colonel Chakkraphong Panmongkol, unearthed a staggering 5,100 kilogrammes of undisclosed animal carcasses in the Pong locale of Chon Buri‘s Banglamung district.

 

Acting on a tip-off that hinted at unauthorised activities in the region, the team zeroed in on several chilled containers at a nameless meat processing site. The complaint suggested that the site might be involved in the prohibited import, processing, and distribution of raw meat.

A detailed investigation into the matter ensued, revealing a cache of 2,600 kilogrammes of buffalo meat and 2,500 kilogrammes of cow meat. The buffalo meat was allegedly imported from India, while the cow meat originated from far-flung countries such as Argentina, Panama, Uruguay, and New Zealand.
