rooster59 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Korat Officials Accused of Killing Healthy Dogs By Jintamas Saksornchai, Staff Reporter An image Friday shows a dog that reportedly died after being given an overdose of sedatives in Nakhon Ratchasima. Photo: Watchdog Thailand KORAT — An animal rights group Friday accused livestock officials in Nakhon Ratchasima of intentionally giving dogs fatal overdoses in violation of their own policy. Watchdog Thailand representatives filed a criminal complaint alleging that local officials used a loophole in recently announced rabies-control measures as an excuse to kill animals despite being instructed to first quarantine and observe the animals for symptoms. The updated measures from the Livestock Department authorized taking animals suspected of being rabid into quarantine and euthanizing them “if necessary” without further deliberation after observation of illness.

canuckamuck Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 If this had been a cull of soi dogs I would have marveled that they were finally getting something right. But If I understand correctly, these were pets which could have simply been detained for an observation period. This will probably further delay Thailand enacting a logical animal control policy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that means they killed a dog for some poor owner somewhere? No, they didn´t. If the dog has no owner or a place for stay, then we call them soi dogs. There you have your clear answer. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be getting my stories mixed up, but aren't these doge the ones that were taken from people in an area with a rabies scare. The dogs were supposed to be returned, not euthanized. If this is simply a round up of soi dogs, then I don't have any problems with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcula Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Quote Livestock has been under fire for its handling of a rabies false alarm earlier this year in which thousands of dogs were rounded up and shipped off to quarantine facilities. Just a false alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon467367354 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 is it just killing healthy dog pests that is frowned upon or can we not kill healthy rodent pests? Pest are pests in my book. Healthy rats or healthy dogs, healthy ants, I don't care, they are pests to me. Out of all the pests, the healthy dogs are the most dangerous. They should be the first to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uffe123 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) If they are running around loose they should be rounded up, unless you impound a dog for 10 days of observation, there is no way to tell if a dog is rabid or not. If no one claims the dogs they should be put down. That is what the doctor told me after i was bitten and had to take rabies shots. Mangy dogs, chasing all the kids, put them down. Neighbor has a pack of 10, all mangy dogs, you think he cares? Edited May 20, 2018 by uffe123 spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superal Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Without rabies they are still a real danger as a pack animal or individual . Think I am right when saying the Buddhist belief is not to harm any form of life and live in harmony with nature , however when it comes to the safety of your family and others , common sense has to prevail and eliminate the harm that these animals can bring . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard recently from a devout lady Buddhist , " we will not kill an animal and eat it , however if it has been slain by another person it would be a waste not to eat it " , so I guess is all about interpretation and in other Buddhist countries they do openly slay and consume dogs . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The other person shouldn't be Buddhist either I suppose ?..how on earth can such a Buddhist country afford to eat all that expensive imported from non Buddhist countries food ?

johng Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I find it strange that a human being would rather another human being die instead of a dog..or in other words a dogs life is worth more than a human's ?I know which one I would save if it came down to it...sorry "dog lovers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miksil Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 In Korat there were a few dogs sitting on the sidewalk and as I was walking past they chased me into the street. I was then hit by a motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Culling or no culling, there appears to be a reduction in the mangy, disease ridden muttts on the streets. Which can only be a plus. However ! at the same time there also appears to be an upsurge in dogs ( pets with collars ) that have been abandoned in the streets. Maybe this is part of the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The "feeders" put collars on the dogs to try to make it look like they are "pets" or "owned" dogs so they won't be rounded up and taken to the pound....when in reality they are just soi dogs with collars on.
