A very good overview of the illegal dog meat trade to Vietnam from the Australia Broadcast Corporation. Gives a more complete understanding to viewers of the business behind the trade.

You can help the dogs rescued from the trade and help to bring the trade to an end by joining the Magic 1000 Club today at:

Thanks to Dr. Burin Sorrasittsuksakul (Dept. of Livestock), Khun Chusak Pongpanich of the Nakhon Phanom Shelter, Vera Simpson of Humane Society International, John & Gill Dalley of Soi Dog for their insights and most importantly the undercover agents putting their lives on the line to intercept smugglers.

Criminal syndicates in Thailand are rounding up thousands of dogs to feed the illegal dog meat trade. Dog meat is eaten by people in parts of Vietnam and China, and criminals are using Thailand as a hunting ground, targeting both stray and pet dogs.
