Cambodia clamps down on cross border cattle smuggling

There has always been a cross border trade in cattle and buffalo between Vietnam and Cambodia. This is now being halted as a precaution against BSE and foot-and-mouth but the rising economy in Vietnam, has made the trade in cattle from Cambodia a profitable business.

The police have made several arrests of cattle truck drivers smuggling stock but the trade is far too lucrative for people to be deterred.
