Is it possible that there are no assets for her? If she makes such a statement so full of hate, me wonders how the guy treats(ed) his wife.

what a laugh- 'animal cruelty' in a country where cock fighting is legal (and they DO use blades) where animals like pigs are kept in appalling conditions and where they are quite happy to let millions of soi dogs wander about in various states of decay, and where even the house dogs are banged up like prisoners rarely taken out. We all know why dogs have special status and it's not religion.

Okay cool, so they should just do nothing with a guy caught on camera beating a dog with a metal pole? 

 

I'm certainly not justifying or condoning the other examples you used, but the guy was caught doing it and rightly deserves to be punished

[Orton Rd]

The reports say the dog is perfectly ok so maybe it was just a few taps to teach the vicious mutt a lesson, no big deal.

[steelepulse]

He deserves to be punished to the full extent of the law, but who knew that this particular crime is a no bail crime, while you can commit murder and get bail.

I think the police try to protection the wife. He is the crazy guy. Safety first.

 

“His wife (sic) begged me to have her husband deported, but that is up to Phuket Immigration,” he said.”

 

Black panther (thai) guy get more trouble than 500-1000 baht and the wai also.

It's not bashing the dog that's the big thing here.

 

He went onto someone's property with a weapon and the clear intent to use it. He did this at night to avoid detection. The prosecution will be saying if he walks free, who knows where else he's got a grudge that he'll settle with his iron bar.  Plus he's got previous for violence.

[Unify]

The article has been amended to state the wife begged that he NOT be deported.

"I can't help but wonder what the cops would have done if it was a local who had beaten the dog?"

How about wondering about this...there have been a number of animal cruelty cases that have been published, reported here and prosecuted.  So far this one hasn't been and the punishment, if it is prosecuted, may be no different.

This is not about trespassing, how can you have missed the main gist of the OP to come up with your "retarded society" comment?  What has this got to do with "Thai society" for god's sake?

And hopefully remain safe. His behaviour is violent and she may well have been threatened or a victim 

[Gecko123]

I hope he's being held in a dog-free wing of the jail, otherwise we might have a repeat occurrence.

 

Look, the guy made a mistake and should be fined and seriously talked to, but this talk about jail time and deportation is crazy. I smell a shakedown. To my ears, the comments from the cops sounded like phony compassion for the dog, even though I admit something may have gotten lost in translation.

Trespassing + Animal cruelty.

[sahibji]

taking matters into hands can be costly as this fellow found out. he should have tried to seek redress through legal means.

[commie]

A lot of people in Phuket expat community ID'd him minutes after a girl reported on FB he attacked a dog with machete. Many folk were also saying he attacked other people and their dogs previously.

In my 'civilized' country violent car jackings result in community based orders.

Yup, rat poision sold at the daily markets. It took them three times to kill our favorite soi dog. He never barked, never bit or threaten anyone. Didn't even care about food, just a pat on the head. We miss him.

Maybe most mangy, flea invested soi dogs would put up with one flogging than scratch and suffer 24/7. (Provided it wasn't a life threatening blow which obviously the belting in question maybe was.) 

[darrenr]

Forgive me for my ignorance , how does a 43 year old get to stay in Thailand as an expat ? Is it because he has a wife and can get a non immigrant visa?

if he gets the visa exemption 30 day I heard Thai immigration is limiting these 2-3 x visa exemptions per year anymore and you could be turned away ?

thanks

[malcoml]

Definitely no reason for animal cruelty.

 

But I can see the build up to this. Dog had likely been barking for days and perhaps even had a go at his kid.

 

wife says he overreacted

[malibukid]

probably beats his wife as well.  needs a good flogging, then deport

Shame, that's nowhere near as amusing.

[reargunnerph3]

Let sleeping dogs lie. If you go looking for trouble you usually find it. Remember it's not your country, your only a guest in Thailand so be very careful about how you act as deportation is very much on the cards, unless you have lots of cash of course. Not the smartest thing to do.
