Dogs are being smuggled from Northeast Thailand to restaurants in Vietnam. The poor animals are put into tight wired baskets bunched together, with 20 dogs or more per cage. During the trip to the restaurant, some animals are dying of suffocation. They are stuffed on the bus for days until they reach their destination. "Obviously when you've got dogs stacked on top of each other they start biting each other because they are so uncomfortable, any kind of movement then the dog next to the one that's being crushed is going to bite back," said Tuan Bendixsen, director of Animals Asia Foundation Vietnam, a Hanoi-based animal welfare group. Later on, the dogs die a painful death either by having their throats cut open or being bludgeoned to death. Sometimes the dogs are even skinned to death. When the dogs see the others die painfully in front of them, they know that they are up next.
The article is very, very sad to hear. It is inhumane in all ways possible. In this case, dogs do not deserve to be taken, put into wired cages, killed, and the eaten. Dogs are known to be our loyal companions, this article just proves how inhumane the human race could be.

Certain countries and cultures, in my opinion, should move towards creating laws that would prevent something like this from happening.
