webfact Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Korat man killed by live wire used to fend off stray dogs By The Nation Picture: Thai Rath A 67-year-old man died in Nakhon Ratchasima's Si Khiew district when he was electrocuted by a live wire he set up to fend off stray dogs who were attacking his chickens. Police were alerted on Thursday morning when Wirat Duangsong was found dead at his house in Moo 7 village in Tambon Si Khiew of Si Khiew district. His right arm was burned. Wirat's neighbours said he surrounded his house with a live electrical wire to prevent dogs from coming onto his property to attack his chickens. He might have touched the wire accidentally, police said. His body was sent to the district hospital for a post mortem.

robblok Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Sad, guess he took some of his own medicine intended for dogs. He should have put a transformator between it so it would not be fatal to people or dogs. It could have been someone else dying because of him, a child or someone else. Real dangerous to use to do it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bowman Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Occasionally, while out and about I will see rural homes that run the main electrical wire along a fence to the house. Not, what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko kok prong Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Madness, as Robblok said all he needed was a transformer,but then of course he would have to spend a few baht,and also as another poster said could have killed innocent person,no sympathy chap was an idiot.

The poor fluffy cute yellow chicks, the loyal egg laying hens, and the brave roosters... now they will be ripped apart, and viciously murdered by the horrible gang of evil dogs. Seriously... your post is out of order to wish such a death on the old man. He was trying to protect his property and did probably did not have the money to buy livestock electric fences (although his idea of the live wire was obviously a stupid mistake on his part). At first I thought that it was intentional the not using a transformer, but it could just be poverty or even worse he really did not know. But its a bit hard to imagine that people would not know something like this. I am not a sparky but even I know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not, what I would do. But what you show in the image is 99% likely isolated stuff (220 V). You see these about everywhere. Sure not best practice but not more dangerous than an extension cord.

oldrunner Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Based on the photo, it would have to be one big dog or dogs to reach the wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55Jay Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Instant karma. Could have very easily been a little kid who kicked his ball, or whatever, into the wrong area and gets killed instantly trying to retrieve it. I wonder if these geniuses are fully cognizant that their efforts could kill someone so indiscriminately, or if they think it'll just give the target a healthy zap and teach them a lesson. Just a few weeks ago, article about the fish pond owner who laid live wires to prevent people from stealing his fish. I get it but jeez, it's the ultimate penalty for a relatively minor crime. What's next? Blindfolded and shot by firing squad for running a red traffic signal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unamazedloso Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 its illegal to do that. If it was i would do it to keep the mushroom picking, frog eating, theiving pricks off my property. Oh and keep the stray dogs out also. Mine are fenced in. Its not difficult or expensive to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 what a stupid and dangerous thing to do, he could easily have installed a proper non lethal solution for his problem but no, if he had brains he'd be dangerous Just as well it was only him that fell victim to his own reckless stupidity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRich Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Why didn't he just do what the other Thais do ... humanely poison the rogue dogs? Instead, he's put himself up for a Darwin Award. Poor old sod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
