PHNOM PENH - AUTHORITIES in the Cambodian capital have rounded up 15 bulls and cows after their mating habits caused traffic accidents along a busy road, a local councillor said on Monday.
Officials began herding the animals last week, seizing two bulls and 13 cows, said Khin Sim, a deputy chief in Phnom Penh's Pong Toek commune.
He told AFP a number of traffic accidents occurred every mating season when 'bulls wildly pursue their mates across the road.'
'It is the breeding season and the animals were wandering around a public park near the Phnom Penh International Airport, where the road is so busy,' Khin Sim said.
