It happens. Someone in my area just paid out 20,000 baht when their thai soi dog knocked someone off their bike in an attack resulting in the rider losing 2 teeth. In this "pitbull" case the owner was attacked so who is going to pay who? If the soi dog attack in my area had been a pitbull we'd have another thread like this. But it wasn't so nothing in the media. "Pitbull" attacks get more clicks because the uneducated are terrified of them. Reminds me of the fear of black people a few decades back. Education is the solution.

Not really. He had been turned into a temple (abandoned) and then subsequently kept in a store room. Not exactly ideal for a breed that craves human attention and exercise. I've owned many bull breeds. Staffies, English Bull Terriers and American Pitbull Terriers. My father bred English Bull Terriers. Never known one that is raised properly that showed human aggression. Dog aggression? Of course, that is in their nature. But not human aggression. Quite the opposite in fact. The original fighting dogs lived in the owner's family home and had to be separated mid dog fight by a human referee without being bitten. Dogs that were human aggressive were not considered worth breeding. Maybe you could do some research on the breed? Try to ban them if you like, you'll just get Cane Corsos and Dogo Argentinos doing the same thing. They are bigger and more human aggressive than PitBulls. Of course, a headline about a Cane Corso doesn't get as many clicks from the uneducated, although they are on the rise.

I think you're probably right. It's a real shame, she's gorgeous until she opens her mouth. She has no chance against the current GOP group of Trump, Vance, Musk though.

Great to see these 2 legends in the same room, with no Von Der Leyen to be seen. Hopefully Trump gets the leaders of the EU member states on side, one by one.

Why not? Great dogs when raised properly. Yes it's too late now.

That's good to know. Not all mine have the medical card/history since we inherited some of them with the house/land and they won't even get in a car let alone get on a vet's table. But I think it probably depends on the area as well. In Bangkok and bigger cities it's more like our home countries, but in deepest darkest Issan things can get a bit weird. I've had a local vet refuse to even treat one of my dogs who was extremely ill because he "looks mean". This is a normal Thai dog by the way (although I guess some might think he looks less than angelic), not a Bull breed. I ended up having to take him to Korat. Like many things in Thailand, I think it depends a lot area to area, day to day, person to person. I think you'd find it easier finding someone to put down a very sick dog than a healthy one that bit someone.

Shame the dog wasn't raised properly. Probably grew up on a chain and disciplined with a stick. Sounds like he's being kept in a storage room most of the day and didn't want to be put back in there after a brief outing. Too late now though, with his history he needs to be put down although it can be difficult to find a vet prepared to do that in Thailand.

Unbelievable. DeShawn din do nuttin'.

Language shwamguage. Everyone knows your gender identity, minority status, race and religion is much more important than being able to actually communicate with patients in modern British healthcare. They only need to learn one sentence anyway. "No appointments this month, you might get a Zoom appointment next month".

The fact that you think all farmers are "rich white guys" just further shows your ignorance. By "talking about bringing a motorway to a standstill" I assume you mean plotting/organizing disruption to 700,000 vehicles across London for 4 days? 😆 https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/18/climate/just-stop-oil-prison-sentence-intl-latam/index.html Let's wait and see what your favourite instigator of throat slitting, Ricky Jones is sentenced to, if it ever goes to trial of course. Perhaps they'll delay it again in the hope the official 2 tier sentencing guidelines are in place by then?

With the added benefit of destroying the country they hate. If you wanted to ruin the culture, the social cohesion, the economy and the national pride of a country what would you do? Exactly what Labour are doing. Labour have taken Enoch Powell's warning to the nation and turned it into an instruction manual.

In other breaking news, the UK Supreme court rules that water is wet, the earth is round, and the sun is hot. I couldn't believe it.

You will make an absolute fortune shorting all things American then. Good luck.

Yes I always create a massive incident and get someone sacked from their job whenever an elderly Thai has the nerve to ask me where am I from. 😄 It seems Karma is catching up to Ngozi.

Quite the Crystal ball you have there.😄 You might want to remember, the only people who get hurt on a rollercoaster ride are the ones that jump off half way round.

That's a shame. Gives her a chance to play the victim again though...

Yes - amazing she got any time at all given the mitigating factors. Trouble is, she's white and right wing so she still got almost 3 years.

When did he escape the nursing home? The Dems need to get this guy back in there before he does any more damage.

I wonder what the Met Police were doing? I mean, apart from joining in the Free Free Palestine chants and threatening people with arrest for being "openly Jewish" like they normally do.

Lucy Connolly (white wife of conservative councillor) remains in prison on a lengthy sentence for a stupid FB post that she took down within an hour. Ricky Jones (ethnic minority Labour councillor) hasn't even gone to trial yet for publicly demanding opponents throats to be slit. It couldn't be more obvious. Tells you everything about the so called justice system. One of many, many examples I could, and have given. They even tried to put their 2 tier racist sexist policies into the official sentencing guidelines, thankfully postponed at the last minute due to the public outcry. But I'm sure they will come back when they think the time is right. Like the Manchester airport attackers, they only act when publicly shamed into it.

Trap him? 😄 He's so deluded. They couldn't wait to get rid of the entitled fool. And as for Meghan, trying to trap her in the UK would be like trying to trap a cockroach in your car that was just scurrying out of the ajar window as you embark on a long journey.

Wow - what an upgrade Leavitt is compared to that. 😄

She's amazing. Beautiful, intelligent, articulate, feisty. She is everything Kamala Harris isn't. Thank goodness she's a Republican (and Harris is a Democrat).

It isn't. Maybe slightly less bad in some places. The tighter it is controlled the better it works. Annual quotas, background checks, a points based system based on language skills, vocational skills, willingness to integrate etc. Remigration if crimes are committed in the first few years. No benefits until a certain number of years employment. With these things in place immigration can have some positives but we are seeing nothing like that, it's an uncontrolled free for all. A total mess that is breaking down Western cultures and societies. By design.

I'd agree. Shared religion, a love of sport, family, hard work. Latinos have much more in common with our societies than much of the cultures that are currently flooding into Europe. I love the different cultures of Europe. Italy, Germany, France. All very different feels. If I go to Rome I want it to feel like Rome, not a sunny version of Rochdale. Sadly these individual cultures are being destroyed and we're all going to end up as the some kind of disjointed mishmash. Like a fine French wine with some Vodka and Baileys poured in. All by design, I might add. I'm just glad that Asia isn't stupid enough to make the same mistakes decisions.
