Lawmakers are proposing law to stop pet abandonment, prevent disease spreading

Lawmakers are now proposing an amendment to the Animal Cruelty Prevention and Welfares of Animals Act that will require pet owners to register their dogs and cats, and implanted with microchips as part of the effort to preven pet abandonment, and spread of deadly disease.

 

Failure to abide by the law, pet owners will be penalised. The amendment was in line with the current spread of rabies with dogs and cats becoming potential disease carriers. Over 30 provinces were reported to have rabies infection cases now.

 

Under the amendment, pet owners in Bangkok will be required to register their pets with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration while those living in the provinces will register at local administrative offices.

crazy idea of an amendment of law as it will just  let the idiots let loose their unwanted pets on the streets not caring if they are taken to an inhumane government shelter or not as no one will enforce it or chase up the owners.

 

you get the feeling this whole rabies exageration of a few hundred dogs was another intimidation story to press through this crazy amendment to satisfy the control freaks in power

Does this spell the beginning of the end of the soi dog - meaning those community-'owned' dogs that live their whole lives on the street but still get looked after by various people? Presumably they mainly originate as abandoned dogs.

Pity if they disappeared - they are a quaint part of Thai culture.

Looked after you say

"Besides, all pets must undergo a microchip implantation, so they can be traceable, and their owners can be identified in case they abandon their pets."

 

Somebody needs to advise those feeding the soi dogs that they'll be classed as the pet owners!  You can guess the result of that - SFA action taken; the soi dogs will outnumber the population in about 10 years, if not sooner.

 

"Pet owners are encouraged to have their animals vaccinated to prevent them from being infected with the virus.

As for stray dogs and cats, local officials will transfer them to sanctuaries if they are found and taking care of them for 15 days pending delivery to their owners."

 

And what will they do with the dogs and cats that don't have owners?  Answer as above - <deleted>!

This has been going on for as long as I remember....when the dog reaches 3 months old it is no longer na rak so gets abandoned to run wild and bark all night.

Exactly, i know loads of thai families who dumped their dog somewhere before it was 1 year old.

 

And the ones who keep it stuff it in a cage where it barks all day long.

 

But they all love their dogs sooooo much...:sick:

Finally a law I agree with, there are way too many stray dogs & cats around but I am a little sceptical, what happens to all the animals without chips inside them? and I don't mean "French Fries"

Great I reckon people should have a licence to have a dog. Seen so many dumped in temples really sad for the dog

 

specially the old one that have lived with the owner for

long time 

 

i reckon people that dump their dogs and leave Thailand should be black listed 

 

as allot of these pedigree dogs also get heart broken and normal just wait to die and get his by a car or bite someone

They just don't get it do they, for this issue they need. 

 

Education not laws. 

 

These sort of laws create the leverage for the corrupt to profit.
