Kids or dogs? Who are more important?

 

 

Amarin TV went to a village in Saraburi where six children have been savaged for months by a group of vicious dogs.

 

The owner says they are cute and blames the children. 

 

But the neighbors have had enough and are insisting the police finally take action after months of attacks. 

 

Reporters firstly spoke to Tawin Sakphuangmee whose two grandchildren have been repeatedly attacked since May.

 

Nong Kampan (a boy) and Nong Pat (a girl) showed signs of new and old wounds to their bodies and limbs. 

 

It started with a few small bites but now the attacks have increased in severity requiring hospital visits. 

 

The parents of another child called Um said they feared the child would be blinded in one attack requiring hospital treatment. 

 

Amarin spoke to the owner of the dogs who keeps them running free behind his house most of the time. 

 

The dogs seemed fine when he was around but their demeanor changed when his back was turned. they started barking and behaving aggressively.

 

He said he lets them out to defecate in the neighborhood only at night. He said they were lovely dogs that wouldn't hurt anyone without reason.

 

He blamed the children for annoying his animals and stepping on them. 

 

The neighbors have repeatedly confronted Somkhid who has responded with some cosmetic measures that didn't last more than a day. 

 

They said their children don't annoy the dogs and they fear worse injuries will result if the animals are not forced to be located elsewhere.

 

Somkhid took them to leave at the temple at one point - the monks told him they have too many already and told him to take them back home. 

 

Nong Khae police are investigating.

Children are definately more important than a pack of savage dogs but Thai dont kill anything unless its for food so unless they get mysteriously poisoned by someone nothing will probably happen .

Dirty bastard. Teach them to shit in your own back yard, and not putting people in danger of coming into contact with it, causing possible serious illness.

I would gladly walk around the neighborhood in the early morning with baggies, collecting all their waste and tossing it back into his yard.

Need to be put down. Dogs and the owner.

One might as well ask: which one taste better in a green curry?

I hear the black ones are tastiest.

What a crazy, dangerous situation. To me, it is long past the owner taking responsibility with repeated attacks on multiple children from May. That is 8 months for Christ sake!! One attack is more than enough.

 

His defense (the owner) needs looking at as well. Letting a dog (or dogs) out of confines without supervision is a No in itself, but to let dog(s) roam with known histories of attacks is more than irresponsible, more paramount to encouragement.

 

I'm a dog owner myself, GSD & Siberian, which I walk everyday that I am home. We pass several kids on the Mooban and some of them will try to show off in front of their friends, shrill yells, running away and the like which raises unwanted 'interest' in my animals which could lead to a confrontation. If they were off the leash, which they never are.

 

And for clarity, the above points that children can cause reaction in no way justifies what is happening here. It is all on the responsibility of the owner; no more chances, no more excuses, the animals need to be either removed from him or put down. Nuf said.

That one is smiling, being happy.......................

We have a problem with dogs in the school where I work as they are attacking students and teachers, and still the director say that we can't do anything about it as it's:
1. against the Buddhist faith
2. against the Thai law
So yeah, apparently the dogs are more important than children in Thailand!!!

This is what happens when you can't sue your neighbor into poverty when their animals harm your children.  There should be both criminal negligence and civil charges against the owner. However, the Thai authorities come down on the side of the dogs.  Children be damned.

Not just children  all human beings  less rights than a dog !!!

Here is my problem with this story!

 

Do I believe, the dogs are all good and friendly?

No!

Why?

Bite wounds!

 

But do I think it is possible, the children are "annoying" the dogs?

Hell yeah!

Why?

Because I have seen it many times, mostly upcountry!

Adults hit, kick, throw things at dogs, that are doing absolutely nothing, but minding their own business.

I guess, some children just have a look at their "role models" and just do the same!

And as a dog will think twice, acting up to a grown man...well...a toddler is -quiet literally- a different ball game!

 

It always baffles me, how these "good Buddhists" treat animals!

Mostly in the most disgusting manner possible!

In the end, the dogs will have to be put down!

That's so true.

Seen it all myself,

I sincerely hope that the dogs turn on this absolute waste of space and rip him to shreds.

There are no legal words to describe this so I sit this one out.????

Children are lower to the ground and can look directly in the animals eyes, triggering an aggressive response..........not excusing the owner of these animals, the dogs should be euthanized, and the owner prohibited from ever owning another animal again.

Un.<deleted>.believable! Nuff said.

One thing that director could do would be to lay down the law to prohibit feeding the dogs. Staff, vendors, and students should be alerted of the new policy, including suspension from school or work. Any food vendors should get their garbage-handling under control. It's not the job of a school to feed dangerous feral dogs. We have the same problem on several golf courses here in CM, and the same spineless attitude from those in charge.

Where are the dog vigilantes, when you need them? Many towns have been culling the dogs. It is a great idea. Most of these wild soi dogs live lives of desperation. Nobody is going to miss them. Get your priorities straight. The bleeding hearts will scream about the cruelty. Just put them down, baby. 

I love a good dog thread more than most but this is no contest.  I am surprised the owner even acknowledged they were his when hospital bills need paying.  The only time I saw a Thai claim ownership of a dog was when I was lucky enough to hit a stray which ran under my wheels.  The heart-broken owner melted away when I asked him for money to fix a broken light.

Dog owners should have compulsory insurance or lose the dog.

TITC 

Children, of course.

 

Mind you, when you have a 13 years old daughter who is going through a "bolshie not talking to daddy 'cos he won't buy her an iPhone phase" then the uncomplicated affection and loyalty of the dogs...

Dogs should be cared for , Controlled and trained. If you think Dogs are more important than children then you do not love your Country.

For without children there is no future

Something does not make sense. Owner said he lets dogs out only at night behind his own house, what are kids doing out at night behind his house?
