The mithun move From Chukha frying pan into Zhemgang fire
The mithun breeding farm in Wangdigang, Zhemgang, has literally jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Nearly three years after the farm shifted to Zhemgang from Chukha for "bio-security' reasons, the farm is losing mithuns, locally called bamens to wild dogs. According to farm officials, wild dogs killed eight mithun calves since the beginning of this year. The farm has lost about 20 mithun calves since it shifted to Wangdigang in December 2005.
