Suspected dried dog flesh seized in Sakhon Nakhon for DNA testing

[snoop1130]

 

Police in Thailand’s north-eastern province of Sakhon Nakhon and representatives from the Watchdog Thailand Foundation, an NGO dedicated to the protection of dogs, searched a meat store in Tha Rae district and seized some dried meat for DNA testing, to determine whether it is dog flesh.

 

The search of the store, located on Tha Rae-Si Songkhram Road in the municipal area, followed complaints that the store has been selling dried dog and other meat.

 

The road was a famous market for dog meat over a decade ago. The trade was, however, outlawed and all the shops there closed down after an intense campaign against the trade in dog meat.

 I have observed that are definitely less stray dogs in Sakhon Nakhon than other areas of Thailand. Form your own conclusions.
