Yep public street, not a dog roaming area, an area for normal people to go about normal things, and kids on bikes, playing, or out and about is fairly normal in most countries. 

Question is not if the street is for dog roaming area. Question is kids should not be allowed unsupervised , as there are dangers such as cars. And no , it is not normal in any country to let your kids ride on roads unsupervised , unless you come from some village or small country town .

Certainly looks like village or country area to me - any more nonsense justification or are you done.

Bargaining, reducing sentences, compensation, good old 'compromise'- the whole thing stinks.  A child has been killed and now its about money not real punishment and deterrence. the 'culture' here is rotten sometimes.

What culture?  The people in this country are just about money! They sell their daughters for money... I'm not surprise about the valuation by the mother.  She probably now see this as a blessing if she gets that million bath (which to me is nothing- she should have asked for a million DOLLARS US!!!)

Dog attacks don't happen in your country of birth?

And when they do, do the dog owners cough up the equivalent of a small house to say sorry?

 

Don't understand why it is called Thai "bashing" it is just Thai slagging. Most computer warriors would be to weak to bash a Thai.

Yes, dog attacks happen in my country of birth and yes, if a dog kills someone the owner will be coughing up the equivalent of many small houses.

Right on brother, it is a Lane, and not a road, ... A place where children should be able to play, without any threats from Cars, OR  (Derogatory word, not even posted) DOGS ! 

 

....  Dog owners should take direct responsibility for their animals actions, like human do. Well are supposed to do,  …  Dogs are Pack animals but though they can be man’s best friends, in 99.9% of cases, as the Intelligent people here have posted, they are still animals and are capable of losing it, and doing very bad things like in this instance, being basically hunting animals, if you want to admit it or not.  ...

 

Like, one other poster said, I think that they must be put down, as TIT, they almost certainly will try to do it again, dogs are not Moral, they do not compromise, … and this owner has, as others say, … got a very big FAIL here.  …  And a totally innocent little girl is tragically, Dead.  When she should not be !

 

All dog owners should be held directly responsible for their dogs actions.  ... …  This is a Lane, and the Kid should have been able to rid her bike down to the end of it, … then, care taken as she got there, near the more serious traffic, ... this is the parents responsibility, … NOT be killed by dogs, before she ever got there !!!  ...

 

This is a case of total irresponsibility by the dogs owners.  … 

 

Back in the lead article it was said … "A Thai Breed" ?  …  So were they these Brown and white, specially bread, Lagosian Fighting (Killer) dogs ?  ...  Which should be all back, and locked up, in Laos, … And not here in Quiet side Sois Thailand, ... Like the very capable killers, the Samoy Cross, Malamuts breed, (Which killed my Aunties dog, while she was walking it on a lead down the foot path in Melbourne, and the dog owner only got a $300 fine and the dog was let go !!!) …  They all should be back in the arctic pulling sleds, as they were bread to be doing, … not living in big cities, where they are a threat to people, and other Dogs.  … 

 

…  (So which is the most irresponsible, and ugliest thing, about these obviously more aggressive and often ugly dogs ? …  Them ?  …  Or their owners ?  –  The ugliness of the belligerent aggression of Humanity, … deliberately threatening others, in some cases, … just using their dogs to do it, so that they can get away with it  ?)

They do not sell them, they rent them !!! ... The girls always return home, ... if they want to. ... The Majority of Thais are not all about Money, you, just do not see them d/t your location. ...

 

I feel more concerned about the grand Mother, who had been charged with looking after her, while the mother was probably working for their living !

generalising rubbish and Thai bashing! not all people in this country sell their daughters for money.

I would have thought the first thing to do is to shoot the dogs then seek compensation, then the owner sent  prison

Does anyone know if these animals have been destroyed yet?  Surely they have

Lost for anymore words other than this dog thing and irresponsible Thais owner should be dealt with seriously.

RIP little one.

till they give cheap valuation for life of people any owner of bad dogs will continue to leave them free to bite people all around

would have to say this gives a good reason to own a gun

The statutory compensation award in the UK for bereavement caused by the negligence of another is £12,980. On that basis about 500,000 baht would be appropriate. Plus any criminal conviction and fine.

What happens in UK ( or elsewhere ) completely irrelevant to Thailand.

It's utterly disgusting that the parent of the dead child immediately turns to the subject of money. Opportunism. Any reasonable parent would seek the appropriate response from the legal system and for the owner to have the applicable punishment handed down, and thats it.

Here is the quote I responded to.

 

"Lt Col Thongsuk Ratsiwon said that this was the first compensation meeting between the two sides.

 

He said that this was separate to the ongoing criminal offense matter though the court might use its discretion to give a lesser sentence if the two sides can agree on compensation"

 

My point is quite simple.

 

Compensation should not result in a more lenient sentence in a case like this.

 

The killing of a child by dogs, because of an owners negligence, should result in the harshest penalty, regardless of who has been paid what.

I agree with you blues but surely you aren't trying to reinvent the wheel? You must know in Thailand that paying money to the family, regardless of the crime, and some a lot worse than this permits the perpetrators to walk free.

Probably but that's not going to stop me raging when I read crass statements, such as the lt colonels.

Really? A dog that bites people for no reason should be dead.

Not so.  Most dogs will protect the young, even of other species.  Something else triggers this behaviour.

 

If it's your own dogs I would think so too. But this was the neighbours dogs what in normal was on a fenced property and not have contact to the kid.

True ! people who already have money don't need to sell them ! They just rent them to a rich husband for a large dowry !

Well if a dog bites for no reason most certainly YES.  

Same as people that kill for no reason too if you asked me.

Yes crazed vicious dogs probably due to breeders practicing inbreeding, this practice is "an irresponsible action with unpredictable consequences."

Really? Where is that?

owner of the dogs is a dog. a greedy dog.

actually, it is disrespecting the dogs by calling the owner a dog.

and really how come this owner is still free???

Dangerous dogs roaming around my house are killed, full stop.

 

Pit bulls are banned in civilized countries. I've killed 3 in my time here, when my kids were young.  I urge others to do the same; owners of dangerous animals should learn.

Any soi dog or any dog let loose by their stupid owners is a potential killer. When are the Thai people gonna wake up?  Or at least the government?  It's a disgrace. Those dogs should be set down as well as the owner.

You urge people to kill dogs, seriously?

 

Pit bulls are great dogs, i have 3... might get some more....up to me.....NOT you!

 

If you lived next door to me and your kids were being a pain in the ass to my dogs i would speak to you about it - not kill them, however much i wanted to....

 

Kids annoy me!
