Who cares about the car thing one bit is too many as it's not justa bit its the recovery from the fear of dogs that could last year's. And about the road accidents well that's slowly being worked on and will take a long time to fix but they are working on it, but fix both problems simple.

What a load of BS! This is the answer and it would put the Thai army to use doing something useful for the country!

I see they also have the Koel bird missiles attached. Welcome to my hood anytime, fire at will.

By the way , Soi Dog is doing a very good job by sterilizing all the dogs without killing them .

I wish they would do that for a few TV members as well ...

Soi dog foundation and the like are just urinating in the wind, while they sterilize a few hundred more than they get through are being born, it just slows down the population growth, it's no solution. Plus a sterilized verminous dog is still a hazard to people, traffic and a rabies threat.

The country will always look like an undeveloped third world one while there are millions of strays roaming the streets. It's just one of those problems here like education and traffic deaths that does have solutions, but they just cannot, or will not do anything for 'cultural' reasons, and where soi dogs are concerned there is the other reason of course.

And as has been often stated, culling is ultimately ineffective anyway.

I can categorically state that a dead dog has NEVER bitten a child !

Can you say the same for a spayed / neutered one ?

Thought not.

If no tag - Bang - in a bag

At least the tag will identify the person responsible

If Thai cannot afford to pay vet bills or have their dogs neutered, they maybe SHOULD NOT GET A DOG IN THE FIRST PLACE!

 

How about that?

I'd agree, but it does not compute!

Thais will not use critical thinking, let alone logic, before taking a dog home.

Come on, They have a Zero level of responsibility in Thailand.

Most couldn't care less,  just do as they want all the time.

Have dog,  Dump dog,  get new dog deferent colour, dump dog again and 

repeat cycle for the rest of there lives.

Anybody that would compare traffic accidents with rabies rates shows me he's lost it, just another nut job who personifies dogs -  part of the problem rather than part the solution.

So not an animal lover!

How is he a nut job and clearly lost it for comparing rabies incident rates with death on the roads? More death on the roads than through rabies! Fact!!!

The idea I think is if the alpha dog is sterilized, he won't let the others bang the females in the pack, hence preventing puppies. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

In wolves, there is not just a dominant male wolf but also a dominant female, together they are a dominant couple and, rather than attempting to mate with all the others, they do their best to prevent any other pairings from mating.  In feral dogs there is never a dominant couple, they just tend to follow the dog being followed by the most other dogs and they mate quite freely within the group.

Also dead dogs, don't cause accidents, for cars and bikes.

Also dead dogs don't make puppies.

Also dead dogs, don't Bark all night.

Also dead dogs, don't pull the bins over and drag all the rubbish up the Soi. every night.

I'm sure there are a few more , people can think of.

In many countries eradication has proved difficult and only short term. Capture, sterilize and release has been proven to work in many countries. Yes, capture and euthanize the "problem" animals, this is achievable. Euthanizing 100% is not an achievable solution

PIck up your history books and find how that worked out with rats.
Bring in a rat's tail and get a reward.
Not too long and people opened rat-farms to get tails to earn money.

CM?

Good luck to Anders, but he is wasting his time - Better off shooting the useless filthy shits. I cannot think of a more permanent or fitting solution.

Oh of course the dogs only bark at night! I never see them or hear them during the day,and when I do they all come up to me with their little tails wagging rolling over so I can rub their bellys,don't get me started on the litters of pups it brings a year to my eyes just thinking about them.

I entirely agree with Anders. Killing the dogs will not solve the problem. More will appear in short order and nothing will have been achieved.

No one in the uk has been infected with rabies, in the UK, since 1902. Dogs must have a licence, owners must look after their dogs, all strays are rounded up and either re-homed or euthanised. Therefore no rabies. Bring in a license for dogs, all dogs without collars and microchips to be collected and euthanised, stray dogs with chips to be returned and the owners advised to keep them under control, second offenses lead to fines, third offence to confiscation of dog and no license issue in future. All pets to be fully immunised as required. All owners mistreating dogs to be prosecuted. Only minimum problems within six months easy peasy.

This has got to be one of the more bizarre things I've read on TVF.

 

The plague of soi dogs is awful.

 

But it's very indicative of how Thai's treat their 'pets' in general. You look at the state of some of these animals, be they dogs or cats, and it breaks your heart.

They are rarely spayed or neutered, so breed constantly, allowed to roam the streets, often resulting in injury from being hit by cars, and no one cares.

 

The vet mentality is odd too. In the US the usual practice is to have a cat spayed at around 6 weeks. I had to strongarm my vet to spay my cat before 6 months!

Simplest and most practical solution would be to neuter all of the dogs. That way you don't have to deal with the whole emotional-attachment thing with the 4-legged-shit-machine lovers. Withing 20 years there won't be any more of them. Just sayin'...????
