Pets left to die in seized home: official

By The Nation

 

 

Officials are hunting for a reported female teacher to charge her with animal cruelty after she allegedly left many dogs and cats to starve in her house after it was seized by a bank.

 

The Nakhon Si Thammarat's Livestock Development Office and the public health division of Muang Nakhon Si Thammarat Municipality checked the Central Park 2 housing estate after receiving complaints that many dogs and cats were left to starve.

 

 

When the officials arrived they found that two cats had died in cages, apparently without food and water.

 

Three other cats, which appeared skinny, were found in critical situation along with a miniature pinscher dog that was lying with no strength.

 

Officials took the surviving pets to be treated by a veterinarian at the livestock office.

 

Neighbours told officials that they last saw the owner, apparently a teacher at a primary school in the province, about two months ago.

 

 

Nakhon Si Thammarat chief livestock development officer Thanawat Phansanit said the conditions constituted animal cruelty because the pets were left to die in cages without food and water.

 

Officials will coordinate with the Government Housing Bank, that has seized the house, to acquire the name of the owner to file a complaint with the police.

seems to be responsible for the cruelty. Did they not check the house?!

Good to see in Thailand there are offices that protect animals. These animals did not ask to be put in cages. This woman might have problems but should have arranged for the animals even if that meant giving them a new home. Selfish and against Buddhism to be cruel to animals. There should be a minimum jail sentence for cruelty to animals.

And it took them two months to find that the animals were left to starve????

Judging from the state of the property she must have big problems, financially and mentally.

Probably just seizing the documents.

No urgent interest in the house.

Look at the state of the place.shes the bloody animal.thais seem to have no idea how to look after any animal.they are just toys to them and this woman teaches.so shouldn't be hard to find.shame on her and good job she lost her home and I hope she dies in the same sort of agony these animals have.

It's the banks property they should be responsible

so you propagate the concept that individuals are not responsible for their pets?  amazing!  only ONE person responsible and that is the cruel, heartless and dim teacher.

Get rich quick plan: receive millions of dollars to dispose nuclear waste, just store it in a house with a mortgage, stop paying the mortgage, and now its the bank's responsibility.

 

As far as I understand it, the bank took possession of the house, not everything inside the house.

The owner is supposed to move the stuff out.

...And she's teaching your children?????

Check the law, the bank would be responsible for everything the day the person was evicted as no one would be allowed on the property

Don't tell me, tell the Nakhon Si Thammarat's Livestock Development Office and the public health division of Muang Nakhon Si Thammarat Municipality.

 

Again, isnt the owner supposed to move their stuff out?
ESPECIALLY living animals (and humans)?
