Cambodian dog slaughterhouse shuts as meat trade faces pressure

SKUN (Cambodia), March 5 (AFP): A notorious slaughterhouse in Cambodia that has killed more than a million dogs is closed now as the country steps up efforts to end the trade in their meat.

Between two and three million dogs are slaughtered annually in Cambodia, according to estimates by animal rights group Four Paws, and there are more than 100 dog meat restaurants in the capital Phnom Penh.
