Carnage at a temple in Hat Yai: 33 abandoned cats killed by dogs

 

Picture: Thai Rath

 

The hunt is on for a person who dumped 36 cats at a temple in Hat Yai in the middle of the night.

 

The felines - transported in cardboard boxes - were then at the mercy of the dogs at the temple of Wat Thung Ngai in Thung Yai district. 

 

Only three survived the slaughter. 

 

Local lady Chai Panchalerm, 49, said she saw what had happened when she went to the temple about 7am. 

 

CCTV footage showed a Nissan pick-up with a load on the back arrive at the temple at 2am and stay for about 15 minutes. 

 

The locals believe the cruel person who abandoned the cats probably couldn't look after them any more. 

 

They are consulting with the phu yai baan (local village chief) and police to try and track down the person who left the cats there.

 

They want to lay animal cruelty charges against the person.

And what about the cruel persons who dumped their dogs at that temple?

 

And what about the monks who let those dogs run free causing havoc in the area?

Why is the cat delivery "specialist" (or cat delivery engineer, or minister of kitty delivery) being chastised?  They did what is people do here.  If the dogs are ruthless killing machines, hold the owner/custodian of the dogs accountable.

Why do so many people lose their reason when dogs are involved?

One day we were at the temple and the dogs attacked a young child...the fathers grabbed some sticks but the dogs suddenly run away.

Catastrophic. I could do with a couple of those dogs in my area. Cats everywhere.

Your wife must be very safe with you ! 555+

 

So funny to be scared by dogs, but sorry if you are just too old to protect your people.

With the number of incidents involving dogs here, people have a right to be fearful. Anybody who isn't concerned facing a pack of snarling dogs in Thailand is a fool.

It shows just how vicious the dogs can be. I personally hate them and would eagerly organize a cull, especially those that wander and lie on the rural roads here in Isaan. They are a menace to traffic.

This issue cannot be discussed rationally in Thailand due to reasons that cannot be discussed in Thailand.

I get it, and that actually explains some things I wondered about.

Why do you think its the responsibility of the monks to control abandoned dogs?

Not in my neighborhood, we would just run them over.........I wouldn't chance damaging a car or Motorcycle to avoid hitting a dog, or a cat.........just run them over and keep driving.  luckily its only happened once to me.

You're confusing "too old to protect your people" with "discretion is the better part of valor".

 

If only it was just the dogs...  Even if you're able to beat them off, then you have to protect yourself against the locals who may take offense at someone abusing their lovable mongrels.

Those cats must have been sick when delivered. Any healthy cat  can easily outrun any dog, especially those overfed, lazy temple dogs. Salukis, afghans or greyhounds could be an exception on an open field.

It’s funny, every time I visit temple dogs come running to greet me and for a belly rub , but that’s oropably because I always bring some food instead of a stick to hit them.

I personally shoot every feral cat around my house and low and behold the birds and lizards all came back.

If that's a serious post then you have a serious problem.

I used to own Afghan hounds .... can run flat out and full turn on a penny, the breeds you list were once treasured by hunters. TD

So did I, but never again. It was a full-time job to take care of the fur/coat, beautiful and quiet dogs though.

 well, certainly Not '9'

 

 

[jak2002003]

Those cats must have done bad things to get that bad karma.  Serves them right.  

 

Now we need someone to dive a pick up truck loaded up with crocodiles to dump off at the temple to kill the dogs.

 

After that I don't know... may be a bus load of elephants to stamp on the crocks?
