Dog Meat Restaurant Raid

September 2016
In Thailand, selling dog meat is serious business but it's kept under wraps. There's a place called “Ta Rae” along the Mekong River where they steal, smuggle, and sell dogs. These Vietnamese thieves use weird stun guns, rigged to motorbike batteries to knock out the dogs. Then, they tie the unconscious animals to the back of their bikes and sell them for less than $100 each. It's a shady business in Thailand, especially during Christmas when dog meat consumption is at its peak. This heightened demand for dog meat contributes to the increase in petnapping. But nowadays it is less likely as it has been illegal to kill and eat dogs in Thailand since the introduction of the “Animal Protection Law - 2014” Working Immigrants from neighbouring countries like Cambodia or Vietnam will kill local dogs to eat in the work camps but WDT usually gets reports so we can investigate, prosecute and prevent!
