Phnom Penh--March 15, 2010 (DPA): Cambodian authorities rounded up 15 bovines in the capital after a series of incidents in which lustful bulls pursued cows in public areas, local media reported Monday. Phnom Penh's mayor last week ordered officials to impound the animals, seven of which will be slaughtered for the military.
Khin Sim, a local official, said staff had seen the cows and bulls wandering about "in anarchy" on a main road near the international airport, and confiscated them. "We have educated residents for a year not to release their cows in the streets because it causes many traffic accidents, but villagers have ignored the advice," he told the Phnom Penh Post newspaper.
He said the problem had worsened with the advent of the mating season.
