A special kind of traffic cop in Phetchabun, keeping dead dogs off the road

[snoop1130]

 

Police Senior Sergeant Major Chawinnatat Padungthammasanti, a traffic officer in Thailand’s northern province of Phetchabun, is not a typical traffic cop, who spends his days directing traffic and issuing tickets to traffic violators.

 

For 7 years he has voluntarily been disposing of roadkill, which is often left to be crushed by passing vehicles until their remains are gone.

 

Chawinnatat picks up the carcasses, mostly dogs, in a plastic bag and buries them in the backyard of his police station, to fertilize the soil. He also uses his own concoction to speed decomposition.

He said it was his duty to ensure road safety, try telling that to the cops in my area, who just ignore and drive past any road obstacle, large rocks left on the road by those that can't do a hill start for one. Never report dangerous hanging cables Etc. Etc.
