Bangkok - More than 1 000 dogs destined to be butchered and eaten in Vietnam were seized by Thai police who discovered them crammed inside three trucks, police said on Tuesday.
The 1 070 dogs, discovered in tiny cages in northeastern Thailand on Monday, were about to be taken through Laos to Vietnam, according to police.
Four men were arrested for illegal trading since they had no licence, according to police colonel Sunthorn Kongkraphan. If found guilty, the men would be fined but not jailed, he said.
The discovery of the dogs in Sakon Nakhon province, who were put in quarantine, was the latest in a series of regular dog seizures in northeastern Thailand.
Dog eating has come under fire in places like South Korea, but has gone unchallenged in Vietnam and is occasionally practised in Laos, China and northeast Thailand. - Sapa-AFP
