| Not only under the house, but right in front of the door or around the house, buffaloes and cows also "freely" rest. Photo: Dao Tho |

| Some households have moved their livestock to a separate area far from their homes to raise them separately, but many families still keep them in their homes. Some households do this out of habit and for convenience, but in reality, pollution is inevitable. Photo: Dao Tho. |
