Horrifying scene as owner ‘forgets’ dog is tied to car

By The Nation

 

 

Animal rights group Watchdog Thailand (WDT) has received a horrifying video from a Si Sa Ket resident who managed to record footage of a dog being dragged behind a moving car.

 

The 40-second clip was uploaded at 10.30am today and quickly drew the attention of animal lovers, who were appalled by the scene.

 

The clip shows the apparently lifeless dog being dragged by a rope attached to a car in Kantharalak district, Si Sa Ket province.

 

Watchdog Thailand suspects that the owner might have forgotten the dog was tethered to the car and drove off without noticing, as a similar incident was reported recently.

Despicable. What a horrible needless death. 

Have I some Déjà-vu.
That's not the first time we see this behavior. I do remember a similar case last year with an old lady who claimed that her dog has died earlier and she just want to pull the corpse for disposal. if I remember right it was also a white sedan, like this one.
Don't tell any porky, I've never seen that anyone leashes his dog in Thailand. All dogs are free to roam around without any restrictions, especial in rural area.
That's some buffalo string used with intention.

I didn't need to see this headline (and I certainly didn't read the story)!

So typical, forgetting a child in a car, then this poor dog.

 

Makes you wonder if there is anything going on in their heads, some brain activity, or at least 1 relays switching?

 

As I said in another topic, something is missing.

The driver just had one choice! Make it a stray or take it out of it´s misery?

No, no brain activity. That would be a sign of intelligent life. That´s not why you came here.

Looking at the photo a bit closer it looks like the boot lid is slightly open a couple of inches. The rear lights seem to be mis-aligned?
I wonder if the dog was tied up in the boot of the car but somehow fell out while on the journey without the owner noticing?

Sorry, but dog owners do not forget their dogs.

Animal cruelty and leaving kids in cars is not unique behaviour to Thailand.

The same as parents forget to open car windows in hot weather when they leave their children inside.

 

Some people do forget.

Clever people thais are 

I remember years back where a man threw a rope over the top of his house to do some work on the other side. Tied the rope to the bumper of his car and the other end around his body when he got on the roof. It took 3 blocks to stop his wife on the way to the store.. After reading that I have always been more careful what I tie anything to.

It was in the morning news in TV.

 

It was a monk driving his new dog home to the tempel and because the luggage compartment was small he did not close the back door and the dog jumped out which he did not see.

is this real or just a practical joke with an (ikea) dog

The exceptional degree of absolute and utter carelessness and stupidity it outstanding... 

 

... Some of the news I read (from anywhere) makes me wonder how some people reach a certain age, they are surely not even capable of looking after themselves.

Wonder if its the same mentality as why there's 23 people per day killed on Thai roads.  Forget to look at traffic lights and road signs.

Monks are not allowed to drive, hence all are driven to where they want to go.

At least that's the story I was given by my in-laws

They are not allowed to have possessions...  

 

.... That said, just like all religions there are holes, gaps, modern workarounds etc... Monks in Thailand also commonly have mobile phones !... 

 

I’ve often though that many monks in Thailand are monks due to a lack of viable alternative, no social welfare, can't going police or army (due to criminal records etc), the become monks just so they can feed themselves. 

Monkhood in itself is some form of social welfare.

Saw this in the south of France 40+ years ago.  Beautiful red setter.  Fortunately they were still on the sand beach road going slow, and saw me and my girl running after them waving and shouting.  The dog was in a state, but stood and got into the car on it's own.  I hope it was OK.

I'm guessing with a brain like that he had to drive and pick it up as when asked to post it the post office refused

I volunteer to tie the owner to my truck and 'forget' about him/her! 5-10 min would be enough, I think...

Ive often wondered if some people are just not yet ready for technology.

Plenty of cases in the west of owners forgetting their own children eg recently a baby capsule left on the roof with baby still in it. 

Strange that dog lovers seem to think everyone loves their dogs which is ridiculous or the pounds would be empty

Well-intentioned monk behind dog’s horrific death

By The Nation

 

 

The car that dragged a dog to death in Si Sa Ket province turned out to be that of a monk who wanted to adopt the dog and did not realise that the leashed animal had jumped out of the vehicle.

 

Watchdog Thailand (WDT) posted the horrifying 40-second clip on Tuesday (August 18), which quickly drew the attention of animal lovers.

 

Police tracked down the car and were led to a monk from Wat Mai Bueng Malu temple who said that he had picked up the dog from Wat Ban Nong Phanaeng temple where he had gone to perform a ritual.

 

He said he picked up the dog at about 6pm, leashed it but left the door open so it could breathe. However, he did not realise that the animal may get scared and jump out.

 

Upon reaching his destination about an hour later, the monk realised the dog had died and buried it in his brother’s yard.

People can forget everything. Read about the stories in USA about parents forgetting their kids in the car, who just die.

My wife would have made it 6 blocks, the extra 3 just to be sure. 

Heartbreaking.  Poor dog.  Rip.

I wondered this when I first went to Indonesia. When i realized that the first piece of technology the 40 year old foreman's dad saw was probably planed lumber.
