Sterilisation works, sort of and for a while, a continual cull gives a permanent solution. 

No it doesn't, and how long will this cull have to go on for? Decades? 

 

Sterilization starts bringing down the population straight away

Get rid of them all immediately i say. Enough is enough. Its a human world not planet of the dogs.

The other day wild dogs killed one of my dogs on my property. The dogs belong to a neighbour who flattly refused they were the owners even though theyve had the dogs the entire time weve lived here and i have it on camera. So instead of owning up and even offering a 100b apology atleast the main culprit dog has dissapeared and the police wouldnt do anything even though for the first time the police here actually assisted which was new.

My bigger german shephards i have to keep inside even though i have 15rai because neighbours wont keep there dam dogs to themselves and i have to protect mine as mine are fed and looked after therefore not viscous pack animals. Funny fact is my neighbours encourage there dogs to be annoying. I have run down about 4 and shot one and slit the throats of 2 Most in retaliation for killing goats and for trying to bite my son on the way to school. Im doing my part to make thailand great again  or for the first time or something...

The answer: Extermination

The easy solution, designed for night time. Bit noisly though. I would suggest ear muffs.

That brings back memories!!!!!

it is not a false dichotomy of 'bleeding heart dog brigade' vs the kill em all brigade.  Research shows that sterilization will bring down the stray dog populations, and that mean a concerted effort from the government to make this happen, not just the work of animal welfare charities such as Soi Dog.

 

Culling, however attractive it might seem, will not work long term - populations will increase again. Yes, these specific dogs should be put down as they are a danger, but a long term solution to the problem is needed not just knee jerk reactions that lead nowhere. 

 

Sterilization not only brings down the populations but also helps curb anti-social behavior in the dogs - males dogs become less territorial and aggressive etc.  However, this requires planning and thorough implementation, so I won't hold my breath. 

To expensive.

9mm or club is more cost effective.

25,000 die each year on the roads and the government hardly lift their snouts from the trough to take air....

True what you said, but it's not the same

As most ( not all ) of what you see on the roads is self-inflicted by selfish idiots.

This was a little boy going out to play. 

Feeders should be arrested and thrown in jail. No food, no dogs

They would, if someone only had a video of the attack and had posted it on Facebook.

out and come up with an urgent solution.

The cull would bring down the population faster and more 'straight away' then going around the country and collecting each and every dog, giving it an operation and taking it back to where it was caught.  There are so many now that sterilising the lot is too big a job, and its going to be so easy to miss a lot of them... which would leave more to reproduced anyway.

 

Cull the lot.  In the future, any stay is collected, owner has 7 days to collect the dog, then its destroyed.

 

No more dogs roaming the streets.

Correct, he (the boy) had no input what-so-ever into the attack.

Would suggest a handful of properly armed military guys would reduce the dog population at a much higher rate than sterilisation, probably in the order of 200 to 1 each day.

A seven year old boy has been seriously injured after being attacked and mauled by a group of dogs near Sarasin Bridge. Sarasin Bridge connects Phuket with the Thai mainland.

 

The seven year old boy is Yueanyong ‘D-Max’ Chairab. He was attacked by four dogs at a beach near Sarasin Bridge in Thanoon, Takua Tung on the Phang Nga side yesterday morning (Sunday).

 

About 100 bite wounds were found all over his body. He was transferred to Vachira Phuket Hospital.

Maybe sterelization could reduce the number of stray dogs, in cities, but as many Thai men seem to be opposed to the (less important and cheaper) castration of male dogs...

As for the less populated areas, like villages and coutryside, it won't solve anything, as the dogs on the streets, and in other public areas, do belong to people living in the neighborhood who let them run around free.

I've seen it quite many times, and they 'don't see, don't hear' when their dogs(s) get aggressive, or even bite you, or your pet dog on a line! But, use a stick or a stone to protect yourself, and then they wake up and yell: what do you do to my dog, stop with that, go away, etc. ..., while still doing nothing about their dog(s). In our 400m. long Soi, there are well 20 of such dogs, we cannot even walk the street with our own dog on a line!

it is really simple, sterilized dogs can't have countless litters, so the population goes down. LIke I said, it takes a concerted effort by the government (yeah, I know!) 

 

I don't know why a dog being in the countryside or the city makes any difference at all... and yes some are owned by owners, but if it is a government program then it can be done.... yes, yes, I know, TIT 

the thai  government should remove all these useless monsters in the streets

It's real simple.

Dogs can't breed if they are dead.

 

Also the selfish thai's, won't be sterilizing there dog after the kids have got bored of it, and he dumps it in the soi.

Like they do all year round.

 

Asia[edit]

An estimated 31,000 human deaths due to rabies occur annually in Asia,^[1] with the majority – approximately 20,000 – concentrated in India.^[2] Worldwide, India has the highest rate of human rabies in the world primarily due to stray dogs. Because of a decline in the number of vultures due to acute poisoning by the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (vultures themselves are not susceptible to rabies), animal carcasses that would have been consumed by vultures instead became available for consumption by feral dogs, resulting in a growth of the dog population and thus a larger pool of carriers for the rabies virus.^[3] Another reason for the great increase in the number of stray dogs is the 2001 law that forbade the killing of dogs.^[2]

In many Asian countries which still have a high prevalence of rabies, such as Vietnam and Thailand, the virus is primarily transmitted through canines (feral dogs and other wild canine species).^[4] Another source of rabies in Asia is the pet boom.

wiki

It may take a major epidemic of rabies to get the Thais on board of this potentially very serious problem. I believe they would act (mass culling/mass registration) if it directly affected their tourist dollars. Interesting in the above wiki note that India's problems related to diclofenac usage (probably in high usage here with all the old expats lol). Hopefully the kid pulls through and the dogs were not rabid.

...but...but...but...Thais are such good Buddhists, they can not kill animals!

Not really.. Plenty of innocent people are killed every day on the roads here. Nothing is done about anything here, they just don't give a shit

I hope some member of the family to this child would make a serious attempt to get rid off these dogs. I know I would.
