RPG Cow season in Cambodia.

[CWL]

It used to be US$200 when I was there.
Lived there, volunteered there (CMAC & HALO Trust), been to Pol Pot's gravesite before it became a tourist attraction, hung out with ex-Khmer Rouge -played with their weapons, ate cannibis pizza, had bodyguards on scooters, etc. Knew the Chief UN demining trainer in Siem Riep.
I think cows cost more than US$60 in Cambodia.

I thought Cambodia was mostly a Buddhist country! Shooting cows with RPG's just to watch them blow up sounds like some seriously bad karma to me!

That's why the guys behind the RPG's shooting cows are usually the "white tourist". Not a racial thing here, but when I was there, I looked the board of pictures of guys shooting the RPG and 99% of them were caucasion.

Funny, the weapons instructor there said "white people" like the AK and M-60 and Japanese only liked shooting revolvers. Found that interesting.

Well. It may be inhumane, but I bet blowing up a cow with an RPG looks really cool.

Hey, maybe they use British BSE infected cows. You can't eat those things anyway.

Just look at all that safe trigger handling. Everyone rests thier finger on the trigger except the guy holding the RPG, who proceeds to point it at the camera man and on top of that has only 3 fingers visible. That photo shoot has them kneeling and with fingers on the trigger with full auto arms. A ND could have easily lead to rapid fire walking into someone else from the recoil and alone, a ND with the RPG could easily have killed them all.

These are clearly not High Road examples.

These are clearly not High Road examples.

Couldn't agree more, Zoogster.

But about like what you'd expect from someone who blows up cows for jollies.

Did you honsetly expect any actual safe gun handling from someone who just paid several hundred dollars to blow a cow up with a RPG?


And aren't there a lot of starving people in Cambodia?????


And tourist are blowing up cows.....

The Cambodian Foreign Minister recently said that Cambodia had thousands of unexploded mines, the UK had lots of mad cows and he had a solution for both problems

Good idea, though.

You guys are all wrong.

You've never had to deal with the deadly Cambodian Death-Holstein. They are a lethal predator, and are not to be trifled with. The armored ones are the ones that you shoot with RPGs.

If you don't kill one when you've got the chance, then I promise that cow will kill you and everyone you've ever loved.

The liberal media is just twisting this story to make those brave Cambodian cow hunters look bad. It's that damn pro carnivorous cow agenda.
