Can you post a video of you using the spray against marauding dogs to show its effectiveness?

 

 

Providing  live  combat footage is not easy.

I currently don't have any body cameras.

And their attacks often take place while riding a bicycle.

I cannot my camera ready  while the bike is in motion.

One hand on the steering.  The other on my spray.

 

But I might be able to show you the aftermath footage  of its impact on the dogs; they start to look scared when they see me.

Some start to run away even when I don't shoot them.

No aggression, no shoot.  My rule of engagement.

 

If you feel any suspicious  about its effect, I suggest you a simple experiment.

Make a cocktail of vinegar and boiled up pepper, chili mixed water.

Then load it your spray.

Shoot it in a cup or bucket.  Get your nose close to it second later.

You would probably cough from it.

Dogs' sense of smell is 50000 times sharper.

This is how it works.

This is the only truth. Guys scared by dogs are a joke for human beings...

 

Correct !

 

 

Sprays may work e.g. pepper but it is of no use if the wind is blowing the wrong way, i.e. towards you.

How about a dog whistle, the ones used when rounding up livestock ?

So it's true that this is how they look on old men ?

It is quite correct that you are the perfect example of a  joke for  human beings.

If you got average intelligence and basic internet skills, you can easily find out one simple fact.

Dog attack  is quite a global issue.  In Thailand, other South East Asian nations,  India, US, UK, Europe, and Russia.

Even when it blows,  deterrent spray  still works  in  short range of 2-3m instead of 6-7m.

I have taken dog whistle into consideration.

But it costs more than this  homemade weapon. So I dropped that idea.

And the significance of this PVC(pepper, vinegar, chili) spray is its long-lasting effect.

Dogs usually have good memory & are keen learners.

Once shot with this, they usually start to avoid me ever since,  recognizing I am not  a soft target.

And that's what I expect.  Once they start to behave better, I wouldn't shoot them again.

No aggressions,  no  counterstrikes  needed.

 

imagine using in a Sonkran watercannon!!

Thank you for telling me your unique post-disaster scenario.

Little had I expected you are that determined.

No wonder dog attack is hardly your concern. 

 

Before you contact any of your  prospective employers,  be sure to check out something.  Thai labor laws.

Entertainment venue like that is pretty touristy. 

Therefore it might be deemed  part of the tourism industries where foreigners aren't allowed to work for.

Which kind of water pistol are you talking about?

I have been openly carrying this for the past 3 years.

And I have never been stopped or questioned by any cops passed by.

A global issue for very weak people with dried ones, who should go back to where they belong, so they can complain.

 

I wish happy life to all stray dogs and encourage them to fuxx more to multiply as quickly as possible ! When there will be more dogs than grumpy old men in Thailand, life will be a lot better !

Troll of your kind only gives away   own  psychological misery within.

Often from the past abused/neglected by parents, brothers, sisters, and classmates.

The more words of hate you spit out,  the more  you feel empty.  Poor guy.  I wish you can live in peach..

 

Why not be different and just show some empathy - feed them a few times. They are starving and have been abused their whole lives and have no choice but to live in the street (probably/often). They chase and attack when you show fear and run. Stand your ground and pretend to stoop and throw something, or get to know them by giving them some food on a regular basis. No need to go all republican on them...

I’ll tell my 6 year old child.....  'Stand your Ground, pretend to stop and throw something’ - advice given shortly before a street dog rips his face off.... 

 

There is no need for stray dogs to be on Thailands streets, no need at all.

This issue has been an issue for decades, for the last 20 year or so I wonder how many animals have suffered unnecessarily because ‘decision makers’ failed to deal with this issue. I wonder how many children have been attacked because ‘decision makers’ failed to deal with this issue.

 

A resolution is required and unfortunately the only viable option is tough one. A nationwide cull and continued monitoring.

Sweet Jesus.

If you are a grown adult, all you need is a stick, or a few stones, or the ability to pretend you have a stone. As soon as you raise your arm they will back off.

Walking around with a spray-bottle in a holster is going to decimate your sex life. Women do not find autism attractive.

 

 

Not so... 

 

I was nearly chewed up by a pack of vicious dogs. 

 

Walking down a quiet soi, a soi I had walked down before. The soi has ‘soi dogs’ and they are sometimes aggressive and bark, bending down to pick up a stone works when there is one or two of them. 

On this day there was about 7 of them. Picking up stones didn’t work. Throwing stones at the dogs didn’t work. Charging at the dogs didn't work. In a pack they were very confident, getting more and more aggressive. 

 

I challenge any ‘alpha male’ who believes he can go ‘alpha’ and make a pack of aggressive dogs back down on his own.

 

Fortunately a passer by saw what was happening, stopped and I got on his bike before the dogs attacked. I suspect I was mere minutes away from being the victim of an attack.

Additionally, the idea that we should be carrying some sort of ‘dog weapon’ to protect ourselves from aggressive street dogs is preposterous and highlights a massive failing of those in positions of decision making power.

If you say that they are generally  starving, I reply NOT REALLY.  

In Thailand, those feral dogs are often well fed by the people around.

There is even  an organized group feeds  them on regular basis.

You will probably notice if you see those dogs  carefully;  they often look plump instead of skinny.

 

Even when they  have no food shortage,  some of them  still turn aggressive to the some people.

And I happen to be one of those  potential victims  they often target without  any provocation.

I have met their aggressions on countless occasions until  3 years ago.

It is almost a miracle that I haven't got any bites  by attacking dogs.

 

That is why I  have decided to arm myself  with non-lethal & non-toxic weapon to avoid the worst.

My only aim is to stun them away when they show hostility toward me  nearby. 

I am also keen to help strangers out if  they are under dog attack.

That's all.  I don't  kill or hurt them.

I am far from being an  animal hater.  Instead, I often feed cats in the street.  Also occasionally dogs  if they look peaceful  and  friendly.

 

Self-defense is the very first law of the nature.  

And  I simply practice it  to stay safe, with certain rule of engagement.

No aggressions,  no counterstrikes.

 

When you face bad-tempered dogs  while you are alone in the street,  how do you feel?

Don't you have  any fear and upset emotion in such a time?

Politics certainly doesn't matter.  

When dog attacks happen, they don't ask you whether you are R or D.

Better call him brainless keyboard warrior instead of fearless.

The better intellect you have, more fear & anxiety  are likely.

And the opposite always applies to the pea brain.

Both man and animals  share same tendency.

That is why elephant is more timid than rhino.

Groundless fearlessness  often comes  from  extreme ignorance.
