208K baht that could have gone to help homeless people instead. What is it that is so special with dogs?

In more than one country in the world they eat dogs. I say some eat dogs, and other eat pork or beef. It´s just an animal, and help to humans should go first.

Yeah, I know there is faults in my statement and comment. Sometimes in certain countries and under special circumstances it would be preferable with a dog as PM .But, as always. You just can´t get it all.

I hope it goes all to the dogs , no sticky fingers.

Or put another way.... since when were homeless dogs a priority objective of The Thai Red Cross Society or the International Committee of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies? Just a baked up photo op, abusing the good name of Red Cross......
