Krabi to deal with stray dogs

 

 

Krabi governor Lt Col Kitibadee Prawit today (January 22) called a meeting on the issue of stray dogs with related agencies after a 7-year-old American tourist was bitten on Ao Siao beach last week. The victim is recovering, he said. 

 

To prevent the same incident from happening again, officials were told to banish stray dogs from tourist areas. 

 

Furthermore, all dogs on the beach must be accompanied by their owners while stray dogs would be captured and brought to a shelter. The directive will also apply on other beaches in Krabi. 

 

The drafting of measures will be completed within 30 days, the governor said.

Yeah, right. Never heard THIS story before.

It'll soon be forgotten, until next dog attack.

It is a huge problem all over the country. The Indians have their holy cows and the Thais have their untouchable stray dogs. 

They are getting serious about this now?  Really!!!

I wonder if they will elect a committee to debate the proposal once drafted ?  

Nobody in Thailand gets rid of soi/stray dogs! They feed them leftovers, then they breed and make more soi dogs and the whole cycle perpetuates.

Stray dogs should be eliminated...they're dangerous and diseased!

Why not all areas?

I feel like a prisoner in my village: I daren't walk outside the village for fear of being surrounded by snarling, barking dogs.  In fact, it's got to the stage now, that I'm thinking about leaving Thailand;  I've had enough!

If only Pattaya council would take notice and follow this sensible lead

It's a very valid point. Remove the dogs from the tourist areas (abundant food & scraps) and the void will be immediately filled by the smarter strays in the area.

 

Selective area clearance will not work unless it is sustained. That may be a reach.

You know i cant blame you I walked around my villiage and was attacked by these mongrels. The Thais think its funny when a dog attacks a ferang But i took the smile off there faces when i came back with a big stick and cracked a few of those dogs over there heads. They did a lot of yelling at me but i said now i can laugh

I too welcome you to the club. Just last night a gang of them would not stop barking in the streets. Had a bad experience one night, chills went up my spine... never again will I venture out between 10 pm and 6 am.

Rival gang? Several weeks ago I saw over 15 dogs barking at a bunch of other dogs (I assume), but could not see. Wouldn't surprise me if there were 15 other dogs, total of 30. They don't bark or bother people during the day. They go around begging for food or relaxing in the shade from the hot sun.

I lived in Singapore for a while they used to round up the strays to put them down, strange that they are protected in Thailand ???

Yeah yeah as well humans without even tiny bit of compassion should be eliminated as well no? Many would agree to leave them strays n eleminate the humans instead.

Well its up to you to fix that problem. Get tasers, only the sound makes dogs back. Get teargas and spray. Dogs will remember and back of next time they see you.

Yeah.  Another imaginary "five minute crack down."

A 15-year old kid of an Australian guy at my condo got bitten in the south as well. Nobody did anything so he bought Gofen at the pharmacy and a lot of sausages at the 7/11. After a few days the dogs had all vanished from the beach and the locals wondered what happened to the numerous dogs. He still laughs about it.
