It's so inhumane ... it's quite literally hell on earth.
Dog smuggling is booming in Thailand around the Mekong border region with Laos. Thai authorities say the trade has been growing thanks to a strong market in Vietnam .
Animal welfare groups say operators often pick up strays off the street includingpets. A dog in Thailand can fetch up to $10 but sells for $60 in restaurants in Vietnam --- !
The Soi Dog Foundation and the Thai Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are fighting to change that and are currently working through the Department of Livestock Development to get an Animal Welfare Draft Law through the Thai Parliament.
The reality, however, is that smugglers often receive light sentences of just a few months in jail. Animal activists also say thousands of impounded dogs -- rescued from smugglers -- that end up in quarantine centers sometimes find their way back onto the streets and in the dog meat circle again.

Packed tight into wire baskets -- sometimes 20 or more to a cage -- animal rights activists say as many as 200,000 live dogs every year are smuggled from northeast Thailand across the Mekong River destined for restaurants in Vietnam. -

"Some of the footage we receive is so horrific it's too strong even for the media to run. It's so inhumane ... it's quite literally hell on earth."
it must be detered the name of people who loves an pet animal ,really regretful and pitiable stories.
