Thailand is far from unique in this respect. Animals are treated as commodities; not as living creatures who also feel pain and distress. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the ways its animals are treated ~ Mahatma Gandhi" (1869 - 1948, spiritual leader of India) So true.

As long as people want fluffy bunny rabbits, puppies and cats there will always be animal markets and mills around the world.
