Now that explains why there's such an attempt to crack down smuggled cigarettes from Cambodia that skirt the VAT taxes. It's competition!
I wish they would crack down more on the smuggled dogs.
Yes those border guards must have bad eyesight and hearing when those trucks roll over the border with a thousand dogs on them. As usual a bribe will get you anything you want.
It's the many that get smuggled across the rivers that are harder to stop. But there's too much money to be made for it to ever stop. I've read that up to 5 mil dogs are eaten each year in VN, hundreds of thousands come from Thailand alone.
