Rimmer Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Stray dogs take over Banglamung Hospital parking lot PATTAYA:--Stray dogs have taken over a lot behind Banglamung Hospital, raising fears of attacks and rabies infections among neighbors. The lot on Naklua Soi 13 serves as a parking lot for the hospital, but now is infested with dogs and covered in feces. Neighbor Pratuan Yodket, 55, said people repeatedly had left dogs on the land, swelling the canine population. The animals have been a nuisance to local residents and hospital patients, causing motorbikes to crash and the occasional person getting bit. With Chonburi declared a “red zone” for rabies infections – with three fatalities this year so far – neighbors want the local government to round up and clear out the dogs. -- © Copyright Pattaya Mail 2018-03-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Enoon Posted March 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) They are not "strays". They are feral and breed independently of human control or ownership. (Although some humans foolishly elect to sustain them) Here's something for your website TAT: Tourists should be aware when visiting Thailand that, in urban areas, they are likely to encounter self-perpetuating packs of wild dogs.

Krataiboy Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Small beer. Dogs can be found sleeping and roaming round the waiting rooms our local hospital in Cha Am - and neither the patients nor hospital staff seem the slightest bit concerned. Nothing new, of course. I remember, soon after moving here two decades ago, visiting a friend in the government hospital in Hua Hin and freaking out at a bunch cats competing with flocks of wild birds to feed on leftovers on lunch trolleys left in the corridors. He, a pioneer expat in this part of the world, just thought it was funny. TIT. Love it (and, let's face it, most of the time we do) or hate it, but one thing is certain: there's nowhere else on earth quite like it.

thaiclan Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 On average 8 people per year die of Rabies in Thailand (WHO stats). 22,000 people die on the roads. Why has rabies become such the headline sensation in the past couple of weeks? Yes there has been an increase in rabies cases (in animals), and yes this needs to be addressed, but really all these headlines and resulting social media frenzy about how all the dogs should be culled? Has a pharma company got a few container loads of vaccinations to sell or something? Also the article and photo just feeds into the sensationalism. A photo of 7 stray dogs to support a story that says the dogs have "taken over". Also whilst the stray dogs are a problem, one good thing about them is when they do poo they usually poo far away from where they dwell. I have both stray dogs and pedigree and the stray dogs are such a delight because they don't require any toilet training! I'm not saying that rabies should be ignored, but it just seems all the hysteria is out of proportion to the actual data. With all the talk about having to register dogs which is nigh on impossible to enforce in a country like Thailand when we can't even get all cars and bikes properly registered and not even mentioning the farce that is the driving test! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It used to be that local governments handled the vaccinations with free vaccinations, but a couple of years back the anti corruption commission ruled that purchasing of vaccines and giving them out is not the job of local governments, and although the case was overruled local governments are still afraid of touching anything vaccines should there be legal repercussion, so now the disease spreads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice gig if you can get it. They're only allowed to bite outpatients or those accompanying them, in exchange they get a nice juicy bone at the end of the day.

Or in Pattaya bay wearing concrete boots. Thais see nothing wrong with dirty diseased creatures wandering in and out of hospitals. They even allow them into restaurants; not the ones I frequent.
