Thread: Woman arrested for trading in dog meat

Police and livestock officials raided a house in Nakhon Phanom’s Nong Wa district and seized dog meat of about ten slaughtered dogs.

The houseowner, Ms Panida Nakhowong, 45, was arrested on charge of trading in forbidden meat. She admitted that she bought the dog meat from a wholesaler at 200 baht for each slaughtered dog, cut it smaller pieces and sold them to villagers in Tambon Na Ngua.

The suspect also said that dog meat was popular during the cool season as the consumers believe that dog meat make them warm against the cold weather.

She admitted that she had been in the business for a long time because she had no other jobs or means to make a living.
