Stray dog in Udon Thani park shot through with arrow

By The Nation

 

 

A stray dog living in a public park in Udon Thani was seen with an arrow piercing through its left eyebrow and down through its face on Friday morning.

 

A Facebook user with the account name of Napassorn JowYing Hodges posted a video clip and photos of the dog on her Facebook wall on Saturday morning.

 

She said an attacker had definitely intentionally attacked the dog, which has been living on handouts of food scraps in Nong Tako Park behind the Senee border patrol police base in Udon Thani’s Muang district.

 

She said she asked officials of the Livestock Development Office in Udon Thani to help, but they had failed to capture the dog in the morning as it ran and hid in a nearby forest.

She recounted on her Facebook wall that officials came back in the evening to again try to capture the dog, called Daeng, with a tranquilizer shot but the mission again failed. The officials tried until late into the night before aborting the mission

I hope the police have been informed AND will do something to find the scum that did this

The Thai government has animal welfare and cruel laws on the books and this crime certainly qualifies for strict punishment. Good thing I'm not a judge as this evil perpetrator's sentence would be the larvae of a thousand fleas nesting in his eye sockets for three generations.

Yet people are clamoring for "culling" the dog population in Thailand!

Wait for it. Waaaaaait for it.

Here come the dog-(term)inators whitty comments displaying their humane compassion & suggestions. They are soooo predictable.

Granted there is a serious problem with over population, but neither dumping one's pet at the local  wat nor poisoning is any solution unless one is a hapless, selfish moron. Spaying and neutering is one easy way to help reduce the problem. My three former strays (all spayed) approve of this post.

As are those who offer zilch.

Everyone knows that something has to be done about the stray dog population.

This however is not a solution. 

Some sick person did this and I hope they are caught and severely punished.

The first rule of hunting animals is Kill it with the first shot......whoever shot this dog has no idea hot hard a dogs skull is.   Should have went for a heart shot.

Stray dog on the mend after being shot with arrow in Udon Thani park

By The Nation

 

 

A stray dog living in a public park in Udon Thani’s Muang district, which was seen with an arrow piercing its left eyebrow on Friday morning, was captured and sent for treatment at Bamrungraks Animal Hospital on Saturday evening, Facebook user Napassorn JowYing Hodges said on Sunday.

 

Napassorn, who had posted a video clip and photos of the dog on Facebook, leading to online concern about the animal’s fate, had said that an attacker had intentionally shot at the dog, called Daeng, which has been living on food scraps in Nong Tako Park, earlier last week. 

 

 

The woman and her American husband had received help from provincial livestock development officials in capturing the elusive dog, which had fled to a nearby forest on Friday and Saturday morning. 

 

 

At 6pm on Saturday, the dog was captured after being shot with a tranquiliser dart by volunteer Bundit Muenruaekham and taken to the animal hospital for surgery. 

 

 

Veterinarian Jirawat Pali said the dog’s wound had become inflamed and was bleeding but the animal would not lose its eyesight as the arrow, which had been dislodged by the time of its capture, had narrowly missed its eyeball. 

 

 

The dog was being monitored at the animal hospital on Sunday as a new home for it was sought.

I brought my adopted soi dog home after getting him cleaned up, vaccinated, neutered & micro-chipped by my local vet. Something I did not plan on doing but Im so glad I did. 

What do you have to offer?

[lifeincnx]

Good for you! That's the spirit and great to see. We have three former stray dogs, all of whom we spayed, vaccinated regularly, are not let free to room outside our property, and I walk them daily on leashes. We brought our two rescue cats from the US with us many years , rather than dump them like so many low lifes do. I am a strong advocate for spaying and neutering of strays, and have both helped and contributed to local orgs here in Chiang Mai in doing so.
That creep was not trying to solve any problem, but only successfully demonstrated just how minuscule his manhood is. Hope he is caught, convicted, sentenced, and given food and water in bowls on the floor on his cage for awhile with the other animals.

Don't condone sheer stupidity as this sadistic idiot should not have done it in the first place. Hope he sees jail time.

Nice to read a good Samaritan came to the rescue.

Not condoning, just saying........could have been an underlying reason, retaliation for a child that was bitten by the dog, or the shooter itself bitten and authorities wouldn't do anything about it cause 'there was no tea money offered'  or it could have been what you say, a sadistic idiot, if that is the case, then an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.  We have people all over the earth on both sides of the fence, opinions are just that, none are right or wrong...........I am not a sadist toward soi dogs, we are the problem and there is indeed a need for a culling of the herd, and start all over again with a clear program for spaying and neutering to keep the soi dogs under control.

Thanx for the 'Thank You'................I am just wondering how many people listen to me when I say:   "We Are The Problem!!, as well as The Solution"  get off our high horses or soap boxes and "DO Something"  wild dogs in Thailand are a health hazard, as well as a dangerous human entity.  I have lived in the USA, Hawaii, Africa, Europe, and Asia and have never seen a country as small as Thailand with such a large suburban wild animal catastrophe as Thailand  -  and I have lived here on and off since 1972!!  How did we get to this point??  I would venture a guess that most of the Pro-Wild dogs arena are from Western Europe..........where they have the money and the means to take care of the problem  -  remember the Germans used to destroy all the German Shepard puppies that failed the new born hips X-Ray tests???  Back in the eighties, that was a mandatory test before you could register a dog.............I was there..........so I think now, they are feeling guilty and rally for the Soi Dog's.

 

Myself, I'd rather shoot them all and neuter and spay the puppies............four or five years problem solved.

You say you have been to Europe. You overlooked the packs of street dogs in Romania.  A lot worse then what I have ever seen in Thailand.

There are many countries in Europe with large a street dog population. Travel with open eyes next time.
