Animal 0 Posté(e) le 3 décembre 2009 The Dog Meat Mafia: Conscience Is Southeast Asia's booming dog meat industry animal cruelty? Or taking out society's trash? By Patrick Winn - GlobalPost Published: November 27, 2009 10:51 ET[Editor's note: The Dog Meat Mafia is a four-part special report on Southeast Asia's booming dog meat trade — a crime-ridden, multi-million dollar industry that stretches from upcountry Thailand, through Laos and into Vietnam. The series examines the economic, cultural and illicit aspects of the controversial business, and features an On Location video that illustrates how it works.] NAKHON PHANOM, Thailand — There are no crowded dog pounds in this corner of northeast Thailand. No routine trips to the euthanasia chamber. No government-run cell bays full of thrown-away pets. At the Nakhon Phanom animal shelter, there’s only Blackie and Brownie, two mutts roaming unchained in a fenced pen meant to hold hundreds of dogs. The dog shelters here are mostly empty.
