Magenta408 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Every stray should be shot, captured and euthanized. Put Big Joke's team on this. This is really out of hand. Stray and rabid dogs scour the sois and no one wants to bother with them. This has got to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This however is a totally different situation where the dogs are proven to be a danger. Two totally different situations. I would also not condone it if people without care and a license to carry a gun would start shooting in public. I am not an American so I don't like guns and see the dangers with idiots handeling guns. A culling of problem dogs by professionals is a good thing, the shooting of a puppy that was not a problem dog (excuse of the guy shooting the dog) by a guy with no license and an illegal gun in a public place is a problem. I agree no guns. A Hakapik is a safer solution, oh and yes I am being serious. Hope the young lad recovers soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Sadly, this backward thinking country only responds to image damaging articles, photos or international coverage. The packs of stray dogs are out of control in many areas and the danger to the public is of no concern it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

from the home of CC Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Expect more attacks on people and more incidents of animal cruelty. When this affects Thailand's tourism (through adverse reports on the book of face) action will take place, not until. My biggest fear is a major rabies outbreak, with the number of strays it could be hard to contain with the efforts that have been shown so far.

Cactus99 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Feckless government. They take pride in rounding hapless overstayers always pictured with a large group of police and military and they can't figure out how to use those same resources to stop feral dog attacks? When you have this many attacks, that means the population of feral dogs is long out of control. This government, like many others these days has turned the world on its head. I fear that the government is just too corrupt and without integrity to do anything anymore other than scoring cheap points with the public by demonizing, harassing the same foreigners who brought hard currency to Thailand and help build it. My poor Thailand, how I loved you. The Thailand I loved has succumbed to all that is corrupt and anti-democratic. So aside from just being dog eat dog, its now dog eat human as the big dogs collect big salaries by doing absolutely nothing of significance... ????

Poor kid. Hope he recovers well The chief of the local administration has said he has tried everything. Now the dogs are set to be cleared off the beach entirely. Obviously not as this has happened, I've been coming to ao nang for nearly 15 years & theres always been packs of stray dogs roaming around & not just the beach, a few years ago they came round where I live in the early hours & attacked my neighbours cat & its kittens & broke one of there backs.....

ttrd Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 7 minutes ago, ChipButty said: Pepper spray does the trick Yes, but unfortunately pepper spray is ILLEGAL in Thailand as it is considered as a weapon - but like most illegal things in Thailand it is readily available. The question is whether the police would take note of you using pepper spray to protect yourself - I will assume it is depending of the situation. The pepper spray is banned so it may help you against a dog attack, but you will be at risk to face a fine and confiscation of the spray - but a fine may be a better choice than the risk for rabies ...

sahibji Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 "It was a long standing problem". Yet nothing successful has been done to contain the situation. Apparently cruelty to animals is more important than human lives.As if the previous issues like tourists being bashed, ripped are not enough. This situation of strays can be controlled IF THERE IS A WILL. cull all the strays and protect Humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK all dogs have to be micro chipped and wear a collar, easy to do and any stray dog is picked up by the dog warden and the owner has to pay a fine. Easy to do. is there the Will to do?

My son was attacked by a dog in our soi. I killed it myself as nobody would deal with it. all the bleeding heaqrts must face the facst that there is not a 'forever home' for every dog and that in this environment they become quite savage. its sad. I am a dog lover but like people some dogs are past helping and the emotional do-gooders who fantasize that there is a loving solution are simply an obstacle to removing a very real danger. I have killed more than i could count over the years After they snap at me once, i come back with their last meal or drive over them in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 9 hours ago, darksidedog said: This is really terrible and first up, I hope the young lad recovers fully and quickly. Stray dogs are a serious problem nationwide, and it is well overdue for the authorities to really address the situation permanently, before we have more stories of injured and dead children. And not just in areas where it is likely to affect tourism. Ditto, hope the innocent young lad recovers from the injuries & doesn't suffer further trauma from the experience. As for Soi dogs, strays, un-wanted pets whatever label you wish to put on them we've had hundreds of attack stories up & down the country, inflicted on adults as well as children. Nothing seems to be done because of the anarchic laws that seem to remain in place even with evidence that things need to be changed ! But Soi dogs seem to have a higher ranking than people in Thailand ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The villagers in my GF's village occasionally have a problem dog - one that bites, or one that eats chickens.

worrab Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Firstly my thoughts and wishes for a good recovery go to the young boy and family. Secondly, I am a dog lover and have always had dogs when I lived in the UK. But over here the situation no demands drastic action. I mean cull, put to sleep or whatever. Thai people have no respect for their own animals so why should we?? In my village we have four or five dogs that are left to roam free and bark whenever they like and chase some people on motorbikes. Somebody opposite has been locked up in prison and lived up in the hills. Now we have gained 2 more puppies to join the others. And yes, they have learnt to howl. In my opinion, all dogs should live in the home, especially at night and if not take them away and any wild dogs and destroy. This has got to be stopped nationwide now!!

high plane drifter Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Nothing will be done to fix the problem having the wild dogs on the beach. Dogs should not be on the beach, I see farangs on early morning taking their dogs to the beach for a dump and they don't pick after the dog. this is a sad problem here in Thailand,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still people kept leaving their dogs at the beach. He had ordered more decisive action. A meeting and survey is planned for today that could see all the animals rounded up and homes found for them elsewhere. This here is the root of the problem.
