Breaking News! More Dog Smugglers Arrested 23-03-2013...

Dog Smugglers Intercepted!

Working with Soi Dog�s investigators the Mekong River Unit of The Royal Thai Navy intercepted and arrested smugglers attempting to move dogs across the Mekong River in the NE province of Bung Khong Kan. 244 dogs have been saved and 12 unfortunately were found dead due to the horrendous conditions in which they were transported.

While it is wonderful that the 244 dogs have been saved caring for these dogs places even more burden on the shelters where they are housed! Please join the Magic 1000 club today (http://www.soidog.org/en/magic-1000/) to help care for these dogs. Only with your support can the important work continue of bringing the illegal dog meat trade to an end!

Your donation of $30 each month (only $1/day) or whatever you can afford will feed four dogs who would otherwise go hungry. Please become one of the Magic 1000 today at: http://www.soidog.org/en/magic-1000/

The dogs have been taken to the Nakhon Phanom quarantine shelter south of the area where the arrest occurred.

Additional details and photos will be posted in the near future.
