Rescue workers were called to a north eastern village after locals found a female dog with deep wounds around its neck.

 

School director Sathaporn Watcharachaisirikun and some neighbors in Bamnetnarong had seen the plight of the dog and unsuccessfully tried to catch it.

 

So they called local Phutthatham Rescue who enticed the creature with food and managed to entrap it with a net after a two hour operation.

 

The dog had alarming deep wounds to the bone seemingly caused by a cord around its neck.

 

Sathaporn said that the creature was familiar to the locals and was a nice stray. Locals told Thai Rath that they suspected some teens caused the injuries "having some fun" with the dog.

 

Thai Rath reported that the dog was now on the mend after surgery.

There comes a time when there is no punishment too severe for some. God help us all.

clearly "having a bit of fun" has a different meaning in Thailand

[nausea]

What? You've never pulled the legs off a spider, risked your life taking on a vicious toy poodle armed only with a knife, dragged a cat (two's twice the fun) behind your pickup, poured boiling water down a five-year-old's pants (but be sure you tie his hands behind his back, you don't want to take any unnecessary risks), beaten up an old lady (bonus points if she's a Farang), sliced up a cripple (yet more bonus points if he dies); you don't know what fun is. By the way, the translated Thai Rath article says "bullying for fun", don't know how accurate that translation is but in my book that translates as sadistic torturing. Personally, I think these harmless adolescent pranks should be encouraged, stick them in a pit with a vicous pitbull, or two, or three; then they can have all the "bullying for fun" they want; and we can have fun too, watching.

It is time to employ a dog catcher You could kill 2 birds with one stone here  Pick up the mongrel stray dogs and pick up the mongrel Thais who did this

[tonray]

I would bet that adult Thais saw them do it and did not intervene. I have witnessed many times kids here allowed to run wild without any adult control. A serious lack of responsibility is at the bottom of this behavior. And if caught.. A wai, a week at the temple and that's it. Breathe breathe breathe.. Ok better now

I hope whoever did this rots in hell.

No excuse for tormenting these soi dogs, as much of a threat to health & safety as they are.   None.   Round them up and humanely euthanize them unless someone wants to adopt them (which I doubt will very often be the case).   But deliberate animal abuse can't be tolerated.

An adult on his own would be putting himself at risk remonstrating with a group of adolescents here.  Quite a few cases of lowly security guards trying to get noisy groups of them to move on being beaten close to death and injured for life. Police if called, may or may not turn up. Difficult scenario.
