Got a motorbike?

Got a car?

You may have to pay tax and have a licence soon.

 

I also understand prostitution is illegal.

 

No licenses for that....as yet.

I really don't know what this is supposed to achieve, apart from a few baht in the Government coffers. The problem, as has been stated already, is strays. I suppose it could be a typically Thai knee-jerk reaction to the outcry over the young girl killed by pet dogs a few weeks ago.

My ex and self in UK had a cat that I used to call Cooking Fat.

Ex never saw the funny side of it.  ????????

Kung Foo was so named because when young he used to love fighting - now he has had the chop, or as my wife said "Kung Foo is now a ladyboy", he has calmed down a bit.

This seems like the obvious first step to do anything about the strays/ferals/soi dogs. First you need to identify those dogs that belong to someone. Then you can start taking action on the rest of them. I don't really think any action will be taken, but the registration does sound like a prerequisite for that. Please let it be so...

If the action later be culling the soi dog herds, then they have my blessing - my dog is already registered, as I had to get import permits and do a tonne of paperwork to get the mutt here in the first place, I wonder if I have to "re-register" now then, as his chip ID etc were already vetted and inserted into some databases ????

I just heard Snowball say that money can be found in your beer allowance ????

Little Miss JAG wants a new phone for Christmas, so the beer allowance is already looking a bit threadbare!

Expect the street dog population to rise significantly then...…...I've seen so many dogs abandoned when they pass that cute, na rak, cuddly little pup stage.  

How can that be??? surely Thais love dogs.....surely???????

Easily done, if you feed  it you are the owner.

That sounds like a moral argument, not so much a legal one. And I think people culling soi dog packs want to stand more on legality than morals.

ALso if you feed it and its out on the street any problems and you are liable. Of course, none of this  will happen and expect no change anytime soon

Some people in our Moo Bhan,will not even pay 350 THB p.m. for

Security Guards,Garbage collection,and Lighting,anyway who is

going to organise this,are they going to have dog catchers,good

luck trying to catch a cat ,

Instead of trying to do something new,what about getting the

important things sorted out first,like carnage on the roads,

attacks with guns,knives,making sure the electricity does not

go off every time it rains or the wind blows,and the big Elephant

in the country, REALLY combating corruption.

Yeah, The Man was on the village speakers today informing everyone of this new requirement.

 

Will the "tag" be an embedded chip as is required in the UK? If so great, easily identify roaming dogs and return them home, impound and destroy untagged same.

 

And who is going to pay for the chipreader?Not gonna happen.

I've just run the idea past Snowball, Cookie (dogs) and Kung Foo (cat). They have no particular objection, but are adamant that the money must not be found from their ration allowance!

 

Snowball wants a new pretty collar to hang her i.d. tags on...

Sweetie Pie and Lurk have, in their particular feline manner, sniffed that mundane human matters are beneath them.

 

And that the quality of fish should be heightened and served in a selection for their dining pleasure...
