  • Thailand closing cock fighting ranges for 1 month

    The Nakhon Ratchasima Livestock Development Office has announced a one-month closure for all cock fighting ranges in the province as part of an attempt to prevent bird flu outbreak, beginning August 15th.

    Mr. Khanchai Huntrakul (ขวัญชัย ฮุนตระกูล), the head of the office, has revealed that there are more than 10,000 fighting cocks in the province, in which 6,800 of them have been registered. However, the province is urging the cocks? owners to bring all the rest of them for registration.

    "We are in this breathing space before it happens. We do not know how long that breathing space is going to be. But, if we are not all organizing ourselves to get ready and to take action to prepare for a pandemic, then we are squandering an opportunity for our human security"- Dr. David Nabarro

    A great idea. I wonder however if it will be enforced? Cock fighting is illegal in the US (mostly) but it still happens in out of the way places. I wish them the best of luck.
    Please do not ask me for medical advice, I am not a medical doctor.

    Thank you,
