I'm sorry, and I dont mean to be argumentative, everyone is entitled to an opinion.  But, some of the Thai dogs are 'horrible', what, at being dogs?  They are certainly territorial, but they're dogs.  They can be quite aggressive, they're  dogs. I don't have any mandate for dogs, I'm a person myself, and they can be just as 'horrible'.  at being cats. The problem is not  with the dogs, its with the owners, or the people that are closest to the dogs, usually the odd home owner who feed them occasionally.  Destroying them is not the answer, controlling the population through selective sterilisation is much more effective. .  

This ones definitely a keeper, could breed for years if selectively sterilised.

So put to sleep the irresponsible people. Fantastic idea.  I agree. But there is some kind of law against that so sorry it has to be the dogs that suffer. Humanity at its worst.

I agree that sterilisation is more effective than destroying.

However, why it is difficult for sterilisation to be pushed through in Thai is because the law does not permit municipalities to buy drugs to faint the dogs for sterilisation to occur. Like many things in Thailand, too many departments are dealing with the one issue so they all end up screwing each other over. 

Sure, the provincial vet office does small to medium dogs for free, however, only a small percentage of people actually bother taking their dogs to be done. Not a large enough number to have an impact on population. 

As a result, everyone tries to pass the buck, local officials are those who feel the pressure and try to act, the law doesn't give them any power to act, so destroying animals is pushed through as a viable option - when it really shouldn't be. 

Tessabans are more than happy to run programs for mass sterilisation from their budget...but their hands are tied.

sorry but that is not entirely accurate, some sterilisation projects are going on right now in the north.

Quote:   "Progress has also been made recently in Asian and African countries. In Asia,  an  intersectoral rabies control  program, based on two mass canine vaccination campaigns, succeeded in reducing human deaths  and  canine  rabies  cases  to zero within 2 years on  the  island of  Bohol  in the  Philippines.  In  Bali,  Indonesia, two island-wide  mass  dog  vaccination campaigns in 2010 and 2011 reduced the average number of rabid dogs reported  each  month  from  45  to 6. An assess-ment of 4 years of improved rabies control  intervention in Colombo  City  in  Sri Lanka showed that  the  program  had reduced dog rabies cases from an average of 43 per year in the period 2002–2005 to only two in the last 6 months of the intervention. Finally, in the Indian city of Jaipur, a combined vaccination and sterilization program between 1994 and 2002 decreased human deaths from the project area to zero, despite the population doubling over the course of the study and cases rising in other nearby areas."

Every dog you see is potentially your death instrument. Thailand needs to fix this problem or the tourist industry will die too.

But we have all been assured that Thailand is a safe Holiday destination.

The vast majority of soi dogs have little wrong with them, bar fleas, tricks and skin aliments   . 

I have met a few with mental health issues too.

It was also in my son's school exercise book. A line drawing of a child being bitten by a dog and a corresponding picture to choose of same child having an injection. Everyone in our village knows what to do and takes it very seriously.

Apart from sponsoring rabies carrying feral dogs or is yours different

Even without the rabies threat soi dogs need to be got rid of, what ever works just decide and DO IT, preferably just kill the pests on sight by using the army. They are traffic hazards, they shit everywhere, spread diseases and are a danger to children, quite apart from the noise nuisance. Thailand will always be looked at as a backward third world country if it cannot deal with basic problems like soi dogs.

Until Thailand has some sort of laws against stray dogs or even owned dogs the government is responsible for these deaths.

 

All dogs running loose must be caught and impounded and if not claimed within 48 houre destroyed.

 

Owned dogs must be kept within the owners property and if outside the property must be on a leash, not alone.

 

All dogs must have a collar with an identifying tag, a registration number or an address.

 

Failure to comply with the above will result in a substantial fine, i.e. 10,000 to 20,000 baht.

 

The above rules exist in most democratic countries in the world and rabies is extremely rare.

 

Off you go then.

The spade you mentioned in POST 44 would come in handy for initial removal then digging the hole for permanent removal

I saw more Shit on the footpath in England on holiday than I have ever seen in Thailand. 

Stepping in dog crap can't be real healthy. Especially for an Aussie wearing thongs.

Easier to type and whine rather than do something positive.  But where would TVF be without these people?

And likely to end up on prison. Thailand has some fairly severe penalties for animal cruelty.

I adopted a soi dog, got him cleaned up & brought him home to Canada. He's living the dream on a beautiful farm, chasing squirrels, barn cats, digging up moles, running with the horses. He's an absolute beautiful dog & my buddy. I am so glad I came across him.

Too bad these a**holes on here have no compassion or care. They whine, bitch & complain but do nothing to help out. 1000B would vaccinate & neuter probably 5 dogs. But the cheap axx farang couldn't be bothered to offer.
