Dog lovers don't click. 1.2 TONS of dead dog found in factory
 

A mountain of dead dogs was discovered in an illegal dog-leather tanning factory today in the northeastern province of Sakon Nakhon in a raid by police and an animal rights organization.

Inside Watchdog Thailand and police found 88 dead dogs about to be sliced into strips. Some of them had their mouths covered to prevent them from barking as they were slaughtered. Authorities also found 35 large bags of dog meat and 95 strips of dog leather.

The dead dogs and dissected meat weighed upward of 1,170 kilograms.

Factory workers fled as police approached, and only four people were arrested including owner Somboon Tongkup and his wife, Chamnien Dangleela, along with two other people identified as Thawatchai Pilata and Tongsai Pilata.

The dead dogs were bought from the infamous dogmeat trucks, a type of mobile slaughterhouse where the driver captures stray dogs and kills them before offering the corpses to factories.

The trucks patrol through residential areas where the driver traditionally offers a plastic bucket to a local for every dog handed in.

</dvtimes>

a plastic bucket?

I prefer dogs to people so seeing this makes me feel sad and very angry :(

If the dogs had been armed...this wouldn't have happened.

LOL.

What is a dog leather tanning company? What is a dog leather?

do they display the heads on fence posts after slaughter?

I know it sounds mad but I am totally against the death penalty - However, when I read sahit like that I feel I could kill the cunts myself - The scary thing is I really think I could do it...

its been said that you can judge the civility of a country by how it treats its animals... fucking cavemen

Not a country per se... I'd say its how you would just a person. Someone who is kind to animals is most probably a good person. Someone who dismisses animal suffering on the other hand is not.

Ain't we humans just a wonderful species!

Would love to have some alien invasion to do the same thing to us. The earth would be better off.

Most of Asia eats dog.

What's in YOUR wallet?

Countries like Thailand use dog skin the way we use cow hide. Wallets, gloves, shoes, belts.

well fuck

fucking bastards.

You know more about it than me, but don't they have a specific breed of dog that they farm like we do cows and pigs?

This looks way different. These are just random street dogs being killed for their hides it seems.

Honestly I don't know how I feel about it. If we have a beaver who builds a dam where we don't want one, we just go shoot the beaver. If there's way too many deer one season, we kill all the deer.

My wife is from Mexico, they have a lottttt of dogs running around with no owners. Maybe leather is a good answer. Who am I to say.

And like all illegal unregulated businesses, they clearly weren't trying to run a clean operation here.. But if it was legal, they'd surely do better.

I dunno.

I mean if we collected all the dogs we kill every day in Toronto just because there's nobody to take care of them, and piled them up and took a picture, we'd look like savages too.

I dont understand the outrage. Most people eat chicken, porn and beef, do you think pigs chickens or cows are treated well? They're skinned and pulled apart alive screaming just like these dogs were.
Why is it sad for dogs but no one cares when its done to chickens or pigs or cows?

In regards to the story, yea, I think it's for their skin. But for food, it depends on where you are. North East Thailand loves black dog, any black dog, as they think it's lucky and healthy for them, even though it's illegal. Vietnam and China seems to eat any old dog. In the case of China, they eat pretty much everything that moves, out of desperation and not having enough food to feed everyone.

are you vegetarian or do you enjoy eating animals treated like "meat" (pork, beef etc.), not living creatures...?

if 2) you are hypocrite

the same goes to all others who are "disturbed" by it, but yet, they are not disturbed of treating chickens, pigs and cows

How much quality time do you spend with chickens, pigs or cows?

Ever take a pig hunting? Out for a swim in the lake? How long does it take a chicken to fetch a stick? Does the chicken lick your hand or face when you come in the door from work each day? How intimidating is that chicken to a home intruder in the middle of the night? Can a cow track a scent through the bush and find a lost child?

Seeing-eye chicken?

Dogs are domesticated and part of our daily lives. We connect with them on an unspoken level. They're more useful alive in many ways than skinned and turned into a purse.

This is not going to help the stereotype about Asians and dogs:2 cents:

That is an extreme way to think about it, but not a realistic one in todays world. Unfortunately :(

Only thing people that really care can do is donate, help on your own, if you hear of bullshit going on TELL SOMEONE, report them, speak up. Etc. There had to have been TONS of people who knew about this dog torturning facility and people just thought it's too much trouble, or they are too lazy to speak up or report it for a long time. (finally I guess somebody did, thanks to them!)

The worst thing to see also is how disgusting our human race is, when there are hog roasts, and people pose next to a big hog that has a stick stuck through his body and has been roasted. People love taking pics like that :disgust you're a sick fuck if you do :Oh crap

dogg mountain

Is this worse than killing pigs and cows?

They should make leather out of homeless people instead.

That's fucked.

Somebody burned down the memorial made for those dogs too.

We know this kind of shit is going to happen in the world...but can the perpetrators at least have the decency to kill the dogs quickly before skinning them? Wouldn't it be just as easy to put a spike through the head instead of muzzling?

:thumbsup I concur.

No, it isn't, which is why anyone that has a moral objection to this should consider their moral standing if they consume animal products.

Vegan here, so don't worry guys, I'm without internal logical conflict. :thumbsup

im going to hell :helpme i enjoy the taste of animals :(

Dogs can be loyal pets,can't say the same about pigs and cows,chickens.I enjoy meat but not dog

I am a hypocrite on this subject - I know that - Some people are raised to think of pets in a different way to other animals though...

I also think that over the 1000's of years we have kept dogs we have developed an instinctive bond with them - It seems some have it and some don't.....

yet chickens, cows and pigs have feelings too (imagine that !), and are not "objects" and "mechanisms", like Rene Descartes, one of philosophical "founders" of modern western civizaltion said about them.....

so your judgement is again = your selfishness..because "dogs are so cute for me", more than pigs, cows, horses, and chickens

and we are all part of Nature, regardless it is dog, cow, monkey, cat, pig or horse.

yet, i would sympatize more with mammals than insects :-)
