Dog beaten to death after children bitten in Samut Prakan

By The Nation

 

Local residents beat a stray dog to death after it bit three young children in Samut Prakan’s Bang Saothong district on Tuesday night.

 

Two girls, 10 and 2, and a boy, 3, were bitten by the dog on a road in front of Pak Klong Mon School in Moo 4 village in Tambon Sisa Chorake Noi at 7pm.

 

The three children were rushed to the Bang Saothong Hospital.

 

The dog tried to escape into the community, but residents beat it to death for fear that it would attack more people.

 

The residents said the stray dog has been seen in the community for a while but had not previously bit anyone. They said they decided to kill it for fear that it had rabies.

Som nam na

And did the locals change their minds already about soi dogs in their community, feeding those dogs to make merit, and standing up for those dogs when someone complains about it?

 

Public percenption is changing quickly in Thailand, seems the whole rabies issue might lead to something good in the end (too bad people have to die for that first).

what the hell are children of 2yrs.and 3 roaming the streets,or are they soi kids.

Notice the word school...they where either going or coming from school maybe ?

according to residents this stray dog had been seen around for awhile,so how come the parents of a 2yr.and a 3yr.old where out at night.how many more strays dogs were around.if the dog had been around for awhile someone was feeding it.

Extra-curricular toddler activities maybe?

and we're off: Blame the parents, ignore the lily livered do gooders that allowed the situation to get this bad - not long before they're blaming the kids for getting bit

Maybe the parent/s took their 2 and 3 year old to pick up the 10 year old from school...anyway what does it matter 3 kids where bitten by an animal that shouldn't have been roaming freely around causing chaos and mayhem.

"...how come the parents of a 2yr.and a 3yr.old where out at night".

Where did it say that the parents were "out at night"?  This was the evening, 7pm, not exactly unreasonable for children to be out at that time either.

 

"if the dog had been around for awhile someone was feeding it".

Not necessarily, many strays survive without being specifically fed by someone; they're stray dogs, they can take care of themselves.

Hopefully they kicked the backside of the farang that had been feeding it at the same time as giving him the bill for the children's hospital care !

A "ROAD" is a road, obviously; is someone disputing that?  What do you call "ROAMING"?

 

If a child is playing with friends in the street/road/soi is he classed as "roaming the streets" in your mind?  Do you have any idea what the word roaming means?

 

"a 2yr.old.a 3yr.old.and a 10yr.old.definately not their mother or father".

Huh?  What does that unintelligible garbage mean?

Two or three seems very young to be attending school!

Wrong that such extreme action is taken after the dog bit the kids.... ....

One down,,,, 4,999,999 + to go

Seriously though this is not the way to do it,,,,, as a dog lover better to use a bit of lead.

More humane

I thought there was pre-nursery that started at 4.. maybe 3. 

The post I quoted did say school, not nursery though.

Although it was 7pm! So  they weren't at school or nursery and out in the dark.

come on don't try and twist every word that is your pea brain. just ask yourself would you let your child or children at the age of 2 or 3 out on a road at 7pm.when its dark.knowing the situation with stray dogs.

a nice polite answer please.

Wouldn't no......errr sir!

An inflammatory post and the reply has been removed. 

..and Thai children with sticks have never tormented dogs ?

2 or 3 seems like a very young age to be out in the streets at night without their parents too.

Things are looking up, just a few million of these disease ridden pest dogs to go

I always went running outside in Chiang Mai and depending on the area, I was wary of the dogs, though there weren't any large packs of them. It's the one time I'd like to carry a sidearm--to shoot the bastard(s) if they ever attacked me. But how can you run around waving a handgun, right? Can't stuff it in  your shorts. But then, even in Wiltz, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, some local's stupid Rottweiler (or whatever it was--similar anyway) didn't want me in the public park and took a nip at me. The owner was in the front yard up at the top of the hill and yelled at the dog. I yelled and cursed at the owner.
