Thai media Daily News reported that pit bull dogs were roaming around Bang Saen beach resort in Chonburi.

 

Like they owned the place, like they were street mafia!

 

Last month in Pattaya a man was savaged to death by his pit bull or Ban Dog. That one found a new home in Nakhon Sawan.

 

The latest case came to light in an appeal by the mayor of Saen Suk district (Bang Saen) on Facebook.

 

Narongchai "Lek" Khunplome called for owners to leash their dogs and not let them wander about.

He said he had received reports that some were pit bull terriers and people were scared. 

 

He called for people not to let their dogs out and to clean up after them to maintain public cleanliness. 

 

Daily News said that the post had some people online saying they would be scared to go to Bang Saen.

 

Others demanded the authorities take action against irresponsible owners.

I saw a couple attacking a soi dog on 2nd Rd once, near Tim's..... brutal, and frightening that these 2 dogs were apparently free to roam and obviously pets.

Dangerous Stray dogs, burning rice fields, traffic deaths I don’t think they will ever figure out a workable solution to reduce that here. ????

[RichardColeman]

Wait till the pit bull DNA gets in the soi dog population in mass. 

[Surelynot]

They are seriously dangerous......and with no collar you have no chance of surviving an attack..

 

I would certainly carry pepper spray.

 

No doubt the dog brigade will be on saying they are harmless......or if they attack you, you must have annoyed them......or the best one....Ooooo, he has never savaged anyone to death before!!!

Damn that's a scary thought! And you're absolutely right.

[richard_smith237]

Solution is simple: 

 

Remove ALL dogs which are not contained / restrained.

 

Any Dogs which have a collar can be claimed and the owners fined for allowing them to roam the streets. 

Any Dogs without a collar are not owned and can be rehoused or destroyed. 

 

This is a very unpopular opinion. But, had these measures been carried out 20 years ago and maintained there would be far less suffering of animals roaming Thailands streets today, there would be far less risk for people, especially children. 

 

This is one of those situations were there is no ‘pleasing’ solution which makes everyone happy. But there is a solution and it is the best of a bunch of bad solutions for the long term.

Still better than the government.

Not with me it isn't.....rest assured.

Come across a pit bull uncollared just give him a bullet to the head. It is the only way.

I lost a nephew from an attack that was their pet. Devastated the family .

They are untrustworthy & with their track record anybody who cannot see that 

is plain stupid & in denial

[uksmdh]

Put them down

All mouth and no legs... sounds familiar. ????

[tifino]

Round 'em up and send 'em north, to a warm welcome...  

 

[Megasin1]

at least they have a positive point of reference that everyone immediately understands "street mafia", If they had used a less understandable "wild dogs" or "mad dogs" reference we wouldn't have a clue how it related to Thailand ????

[worgeordie]

The dogs are smarter than the people that own them....no responsibility at all.

[Scouse123]

If you hit them hard in the pocket you will stop it stone dead. One thing these people understand and dislike intensely is losing money

 

The problem is too many police find this too much like hard work and prefer the immediate fines from no helmets or minor traffic infringements.

 

These animals when they get going do very serious damage and cannot be stopped easily. If they can award 20K fines for going mask-less, then they can certainly charge the same for allowing an unsupervised and uncontrolled lethal weapon to roam around.

 

I would go even further and demand these beasts are muzzled in public places.

Did they learn that from their owners, or did the owners learn it from them.

When is the Gov'ment going to do something about Roaming Dogs/Soi dogs. 

Are that Vermin More imported than People? 

Ones those dogs are roaming around they are Worse than the normal Soi dog. 

Even if/when people get killed Like a little while ago they must be Killed . 

It's time for the Gov'ment to act, No Excuses ,Clean Up their Act and Cull All Roaming and Soi Dogs before they cause more Mayhem /accidents/Hurt/Kill People. 

I love Dogs ,Had hunting dogs back in Aus ,Have a dog now .

I just don't like the People and their Soi dogs. many Soi dogs Do belong to people. 

They get  them as a pup , they look after it for a few weeks and then it's on it's own .

It turns into a Flea bitten Tick Riddled Mange infected Snarling Biting  Soi Dog.

Well I am one of the so-called "dog brigade" in that I have dogs. But I would never say pit bulls are harmless. I am against the breeding of such dangerous dogs. Even some mixes can be dangerous.

Me too. I have 3 dogs and they are part of the family. 

 

But, I dont agree with any dogs being allowed to freely roam the streets like that.  And any dog that seriously injures someone need to be put down.

 

If people own dogs they need to take responsibility for them and care for the properly. 

 

Sadly a minority of lazy or dumb dog owners and crazy dog fanatics give the rest of dog owners and dogs a bad name.

"Call youself a dog! Look at yeh with yer dirty fur and your long nails. What are yeh like. Getting bitches pregnant and then clearing off for the mother to take care of yer litter! You irresponsible hound!"

 

What - like that?  ????

[champers]

I always found Bang Saen a bit dull but this initiative to make the place more exciting is a step too far.

[rcuthbert]

There are only 3 dogs shown. I suspect that a sensitive owner of a poodle stepped in pit bull poop - then sought retribution.

Yeah they don't accept brown envelopes

[DBath]

Pit bulls require a very knowledgeable owner - one who knows how to handle this breed. Regardless, this type of dog should never be allowed to wander off-leash in public. They can be great pets, but they must be strictly controlled. Too often people take ownership of pit bulls without knowing what they’re getting into and the results can be tragic. 

[Captain Monday]

Provide the pitbulls with AMULETS from Wat Bang Lamung.

A police force?  With no tourists to prey on, the police, with time on their hands, could be out and about protecting road-users from strays bringing down motor bikes and causing other accidents.
