Thousands Dead, Hundreds More Dogs Now Dying Due To Scare: Foundation

[neeray]

My dog and I thank you for this picture post. I too know many Thais with domestic dogs who they give an awesome home and care to.

[BEngBKK]

The problem is not the dogs... It is the many Thais that love to buy small cute puppies at the market..

Puppies get big and then they throw them out.....

Do you know how China kills dogs prior to their being consumed? They beat them to death to supposedly improve the flavour of the meat. This is a country that sees nothing wrong with keeping bears in tiny cages and using them to extract bile, the same country that has no conscience about killing tigers and rhinos for uses in supposed aphrodisiacs, and their human rights record is equally appalling. Perhaps you need to think about your responses before shooting yourself in the foot.

If I recall correctly, I once read that in China, many are thrown alive into boiling pots of water. Something about making it easier to remove their fur. But maybe considering your point, "they beat them" first thinking that that may improve the flavour. (Excuse me, I must go and give my dog a hug).

China, the next rulers of the world!

Dalley said much in that article. Better give him a gun, and show him how to use it.

Last week, my wife and I were walking down a street in Jomtien near our condo. A moto taxi driver took out a few bones with meat on them and tossed one to a dog who was about 5 meters in front of us. I wanted to throw the guy into traffic. We literally had to walk out into traffic to get around a mangy soi dog who was protective of his bone.

I don't know whether I dislike moto taxi drivers or soi dogs more. Soi dogs are quieter and less dangerous. Probably have fewer diseases,too.

Dogs are protective of their food anywhere. Try to take a bone away from a Rottweiler.

If the dog is kept within the owner's property and only goes outside when on a leash then there is no way these dogs will have rabies. It is only due to the total lack of enforced dog control by the authorities that a dog problem exists here, totally caused by unowned strays, (soi dogs), which are nothing more than wild animals. These are obviously reinforced by negligent owners, again lack of authorities caring and excersising any control. If someone does not claim these caged animals within 48 hours of capture they should be put down.

a lot of those dogs are domesticated. and they end up in that dump even the healthy ones

i hope some thai's get enraged about this when they realize what's happened to their pets they were convinced to part with

and course parvo is gonna kill them all off if they don't separate them

I'd be ****** fuming

...like they become enraged over dumped babies and a death toll  of 22,356 on the roads?

The  Thais create an even bigger  problem when driving as actually  stopping  for the dogs, the dogs learn this and so just aly in the road and dont move. I bib the horn and if they dont move theyre toast.

Dont worry the "if this was person in the road would you do the same too" brigade  will be along shortly.

I don't even beep the horn 

I prefer to run over the dogs arrogant enough to sleep on the road.....

I have 2 very healthy cats, sorry not a dog person , I once was told  ( It may of been D. Attenborough ) that if cats had evolved with thumbs they would now be ruling the world.  My cats get fed before I have my first cuppa of the day. They rule this house.

Anyone who would deliberately run over an animal because they "won't move" is less than human. You may leave the dog crippled and in terrible pain while you carry on without a thought. Disgusting.

Maybe people’s opinions would change if they got bitten by one. I have been walking into Soi Bukhao using the same route for over 18 months. I see the same Soi dogs every time, never bother me. Thursday one of them bit me on the leg, broke the skin, never seen it coming as it came from behind me, I was more focused on a truck which was passing close too me.

 

City Hospital, Pattaya, 1 Tetanus and the first of 4 Post Rabies Vaccinators, the last one will have to be in the UK as I will not be here.

Couldnt fault the service after booking in straight too the Emergency Room, sorted in 20 minutes. 

 

For me round all the Soi dogs up, take them too a local compound at the same publicising if the dog is not claimed in 2 weeks it will be put down. I love dogs not their fault what goes on but what benefits do Soi dogs bring too the community.

[BimBoon]

This false rabies panic created entirely by this government has created this. It was completely preventable. Shame on the Thai government.

Of all my experience of Rescueing dogs here in the hundreds I have never known a dog bit that has not been provoked. I don't believe a word. "I'm a dog lover but"??????

What makes this even sadder is that rabies vaccine is available FREE! But to maintain effectiveness, it must be kept chilled during transportation & prior to administration. Surely it has to be easier & better to access & administer the free vaccine than to simply dump your dog, possibly condemning it to grisly & painful death?

There ought to be a cull on humans as well. There are too many taking up space and consuming valuable resources. A blight on the planet iMO.

How about reading the article before commenting. If it's not too much trouble. Then you won't look stupid and ignorant. For example: "He said officials convinced people to surrender their pets when normal practice would be to have them kept indoors to first see if any symptoms develop."

Making me out a liar then, no way did I provoke the dog, I was walking at a leisurely pace minding my own business and as I said come from behind me. I have seen it in the past being aggressive with people passing by and they weren’t provoking it either.

[JAZZDOG]

A very pitiful reflection on the people of Thailand that they can do no better than this. Actually quite similar to the carnage and death which is allowed to take place on the highways. There is absolutely no question steps could be taken to bring the lawlessness under control but of course that would eliminate all the tea money. Disgusting !! Very little compassion for dogs or humans here. Getting very close to checking outta here for good.

[WHYWHY]

People should have a License for pets this is sad 

[Road Warrior]

hope it continues  , good control on this problem with wild dogs biting people

[Azoulay]

I think many people ignore the consequences of rabbies. So get ride of the potentially contaminated dogs. No discussion.

There is no questions dogs are in many ways are the superior species. I know the dogs I have been fortunate to share my life with was filled with unconditional love and affection. Something humans know little about. Doubt what I am saying, you shouldn't, after all you are reading this forum which is undeniable proof the human species is clueless.
