I guess you are the kind who would swerve your car into a kid in order to miss a dog / lizard/tree

so the word "invested" offends you ? And you appear to cherish the thought of a human free planet! Further discussion is obviously futile.

in principle no

I'll answer it for him , and I'll try to keep it simple for you The reason a human life is worth more than a dogs is because there is a lot more invested in the life of human, than in the worthless existence of a wild dog. A father getting mauled to death for example deprives a family of financial support , A child getting ripped apart deprives parents of all they invested in that child's life and deprives the world of any potential that child had. The death of a wild dog is no loss to anybody in fact its a double bonus as it guarantees no further attacks are possible and no further offspring will be born

Now you are starting to sound ridiculous, have you thought of joining "extinction rebellion" or another of those crackpot organisations

Speak for yourself , I certainly don't value dogs above any other mammals, fish or any other species for that matter.

Labradors feature quite a lot in dog on human attacks, more so than pit bulls

I don't think Thai news has been tainted with political correctness like in the west. If they have not mentioned his nationality it is because they don't know. Strange how she allegedly refused to accept his offer of money at the scene, but she probably thinks she will get a better offer at the police station, I wonder if she has allowed for the % that will be claimed by the BiB. IT could well turn out to be an unfortunate case of mistaken identity for all we know The comments made on this website have no bearing whatsoever on the ongoing investigation, members should be able to comment as they wish without the "virtue signallers" screaming about "victim blaming" What are you trying to achieve by using phrases like that in such an inflammatory manner, other than to derail the topic for your woke agenda.

There are plenty of reports of kids getting attacked by dogs so don't try to deflect from that. Humans killing other animals for whatever reason is a completely different matter

"Wearing masks and social distancing" have nothing to do with this thread whatsoever, All these dogs have the potential to become aggressive that's why they all need to be got rid of as soon as possible,

Exactly what I posted a few minutes earlier, he was indeed a god send

Its not a problem I have caused is it ? The blame lies squarely at the feet of people like you who feed them Clearly I have not washed my hand of the problem , its just that you don't have the stomach for the solution I am advocating

"inconvenience" is that what you call it when a 4 year old gets their face ripped off? How on earth do you expect a child to defend itself against one of these aggressive creatures

It Tells you that I have never owned a dog and I am not allowed to shoot them. nothing else

That's the poorest excuse I have ever heard for allowing these disease ridden aggressive creatures to roam the streets. There are regularly news reports of people, many of whom are young kids, getting savagely attacked. I imagine you are a bit quieter when that happens. As far as I am concerned there is no justification for taking chances

I have no problem if the answer is "easy" the easier the better for me . They are not there because of me at all they are there because of others. It is not a problem of my making , The situation needs sorting out and its not helping matters when people get sentimental and emotional.

They can still be territorial, and can still attack and maim people, still carry diseases still defecate everywhere spreading more disease. No different than rats and should be treated accordingly

I don't think shooting a dog is cruel it's actually a very humane way to despatch them when done properly Years ago there was a very effective way that was used to keep the numbers down out here in the sticks, The "dog man" was a regular visitor to all the villages, unwanted dogs were rounded up and taken to places like vietnam , korea and china were they are really "appreciated" This not only kept the numbers of wild dogs under control but people also thought twice about letting their (pet) dogs out unaccompanied lest they were rounded up too. Seemed to work quite well until the sentimental animal rights types eventually put an end to it without suggesting an effective alternative. The resultant mess is now seen everywhere and nothing short of a national cull can sort this out now. Its a real problem if you get bitten, stitches and infection and several trips to a clinic for rabies jobs, and don't expect to find anybody admitting to being the dogs owner. Conversely they all appear out of the woodwork to claim ownership and financial compensation should one end up under your vehicle

So female dogs are defenceless ? I don't think so!

I know she is, but that's not the point really is it. ?

Well according to the linked article they now have 1000 doses of a new vaccine, and will now decide who deserves it . I wonder how that will assessed ? Probably according to wealth / influence Reading between the lines it looks like they don't routinely use the smallpox vaccine anymore as there has not been a case here for "several decades" that does not seem very sensible , have other countries stopped vaccinating for smallpox?

Could just be a consequence of using sub standard or out of date smallpox vaccinations in the first place, or perhaps the people used in the test had not even actually been vaccinated. Could even be a made up story. I could not imagine anybody here actually volunteering to be infected with monkeypox Or is it just another "expert" raising their profile with a bit of doom mongering?

It boils my pi$$ when I hand over the cash and they try to give the change to the missis

There is no obligation for monks to be vegetarian or to refrain from smoking, That is your own incorrect interpretation

No it is not, why would you post rubbish like that?
