New007 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Is there a legal way to get rid of Soi dogs which are constantly barking, especially at night? Are there any Tesaban offices responsible for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LannaGuy Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I feel for you and we have discussed it 100s times. They are a complete MENACE and reflect Thai irresponsibility aptly. Good luck with finding a way but most suggestions involve meat laced with cyanide. If you find a better solution please do let us know but Thais are oblivious to the thought they might disturb others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Our area has a government truck that comes by and shoots darts at the dogs and then takes them away. I've seen them in operation several times. Maybe somebody you know who speaks Thai, and isn't too shy, can go to your local government office and see if you've got that same service? Perhaps even, just ask the local police? Worth paying them a bit if they can deal with the problem. I think we pay 2,000B or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamypoko Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Dogs howling at night. I rather like it. But I get that you don't. And that's ok. Something must be don't to get these animals fixed. Perhaps you could contact one of the many rescue groups for guidance. Surely they'll have some suggestions. GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 yes ..... soi dogs are a real menace and need to be eradicated. Maybe you can pay someone 1,000 to get rid of them ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that for sure. It's really hard to euthanize a dog here. Really hard. Sadly. But when done, it's with an injection and the dog just goes to sleep. I've had to put a few dogs down when I lived back home. No fun, but necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildewillie89 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Tessaban are responsible for dogs that have no owners. As you can imagine, it is quite difficult to determine which dogs have owners and which do not (due to people letting their dogs roam all day/night). Tessaban will most likely not do anything unless the dog causes harm to anyone, or poses a health risk (rabies). They are big on the rabies as it is their responsibility to vaccinate these dogs against rabies. The Amphoe (district office), sometimes will be more inclined to help as an aspect of the office is services to the community. It is why you hear the Amphoe Chief get involved sometimes on the dog attacks that make the news. A lot depends on where you live, as different areas have slightly different laws. But if it is just for barking, then I don't like your chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fun, but necessary. When we had the dog catchers up here in Phitsanulok, I think they were Burmese but hired by the municipality. Once a dog was darted, that was it, straight to the rainbow bridge or whatever you call it when a dog dies. It is mostly wishful thinking that the animals will just be spayed/neutered and looked after by some self-funded animal welfare organization, but the reality is that these organizations are rare here and looking after animals, even at the most basic level is expensive. I am not sure if they still do this here, the last time I saw it done was about 7 - 8 years ago and we have since moved from that particular area. Edit: Just in addition to the above, the guideline to determine a soi dog at that time was if it was wearing a collar or not. If it was wearing a collar, it was classed as somebodies animal. I remember the leaflets that were passed around. Edited October 10, 2017 by chrisinth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLCrab Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I live on a long rural straightaway with no speed bumps and, sooner or later, all the offending dogs -- noise and crapping -- seem to get whacked by a speeding truck or motor cycle.

steve C Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) I have more of a problem with dogs that have owners and left in confined yards with no exercise that constantly howl day and night. They buy a cute puppy and once it is a full grown dog their not bothered with it anymore. Thai's are oblivious to barking dogs, roosters crowing, loud music etc, they just don't hear it.

The dogs were quickly gone and the moto-dops had an all night party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyFriend You Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) No Legal way to shut them up. That said, you could also waste your time going to the Amphur or whatever the head honcho is called in your area and complain. That will get you nowhere.

bazza73 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I understand there are ultrasound frequencies. inaudible to the human ear, but most unpleasant for dogs. AFAIK, it would be legal to have a broadcast device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you need to be less than 10 yards from the animal for it to be effective..........I have one and it works on dogs close to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
