You really have struggled with the idea of an online forum specifically designed for discussion... 

 

It is important that we all share our views....  I find it extremely valuable to know that some people of such moronically flawed mindsets walk amongst us....  It’s important that everyone knows there are utter fools out there who have no idea they are utter fools....

Cool story...   cool but stupid.

 

My brother had a Chow for 7 years. No problems whatsoever until one day he reached down to get the dog's food dish to refill like he had done all those years and the Chow, for no reason, bit him on the face. He had to have 16 stitches and still wears the scar 23 years later.

 

He loved that dog but without hesitation he had her put down.

 

Exactly this... 

 

Owners of dogs which are generally considered dangerous never get this....  sadly, until its too late. 

 

I’m not talking about Jack Russells... they’re just usually like their owner, blissfully ignorant harmless little yappy mutts...  

 

It is larger more powerful and dangerous dogs which there really is no need for, at the very minimum there really needs to be a requirement licensing so that owners can prove they can look after such animals properly... but we’d still have these incidents because in Thailand whats a licence worth?...    and a lot of idiots would still go for the ‘hard dog’...

I will say it again breeds such as this are bred and genetically focused to kill. Dogs like this owned only, and used for specific tasks and NEVER allowed to be bred and owned by the general public.

You notice in military and policing applications these dogs are never used. Why is that? Its because the 'predation-instinct index' in such dogs is so off the scale that they are very difficult to train and the ratio of certainty of the obedience and control needed by specific task dogs sees them deemed totally unsuitable for such roles. They are only for killing. 

The story of how the dog was unsafe around 'strangers' indicated very poor training by the owners.

The woman, who appears to have been a friend of the dogs owners, and I assume from the report appears to have known the dog too, was indeed foolish to enter the property until the owners had caged it.

Having to cage an animal so as to keep visitors safe shows a complete lack of social responsibility on the part of the owners. I met folks here in LOS - Phuket and in Oz who had English pit's, staffies, and American pit's who were completely incapable of being out even on a leash as they were vicious to the point of behaving as if rabid and yet they kept the dogs, terrorising, endangering, and therefore controlling the entire locale, (subconsciously deliberate intention) everyone, every living thing that these animals could possibly get to. 

Having said that dogs do as they are bred and trained to do. So ... its not the dogs fault at all. Dogs if not socialised from a puppy to interact with human strangers, and other dogs raises the risk of violence from such dogs exponentially. 

As an ex-mental health professional I have seen with many owners of such dogs some interesting psychological traits coming through e.g. insecurity, immaturity, fear - using such dogs to 'protect' the owner, a latent desire to act-out violently, a latent fixation with and wish/enjoyment/glorification of violence, and the desire to be loved unconditionally by something and in the total unconditional love the dog gives the satiation of that very deep need for unconditional love that was not originally met.

No, I'll admit I'm not a fan of dogs; grew up with cats. So I especially dislike pit bulls. They are dangerous and many owners are clueless. Tigers are majestic and it's painfully said to see video footage of them shot or otherwise harmed.

Yeah Tigers are great. Lions too.

 

You should come and meet mine. Sounds like you'd love him ????.

You sound very much like my former wife, she was very opinionated ,tried to tell people how to live their lives and often became insulting when she didn’t like their response.

Like I said to her “stay out of other peoples lives and get one of your own”

Goodbye

The first person ever to receive a  'face transplant' was a French woman. and the dog that caused the injury was her own, yes you guessed it, Golden Labrador.

 

 

A Golden Retriever is not a Golden Labrador, think you can see which is which......

Though any dog could go rogue, unfortunately the Pit Bull variants seem to be the most problematic.

The owner should be jailed just like he did the attack himself.  Too many want dogs like this to show how strong they are.  Sadly, very few know how to properly handle them.  Very few.

You ever heard of Guard dogs ? People must put up a Sign  Warning people,

Perhaps he told his wife too many times to stay out of his life !!!....  ????

 

Its quite amusing that the owner of Jack Russells feels the need to ‘go alpha’ and take a turn in bat for the the owners of dogs that are known to maim and kill....  

... there’s nothing wrong with Jack Russells (apart from them being irritating yappy little mutts as soon as an owner leaves the house)...  But, they are not a great threat to kids and visitors as larger more powerful and dangerous dogs are.

Ours is a Family member/Guard dog , But  he won't let anyone enter the Gate .

[Callmeishmael]

I see quite a few people saying that the dog should be euthanized or that he should not reach his second birthday.  This, of course, would be the automatic outcome of a dog seriously biting a human in places like the US, UK, Australia or even France.  However, I would be very surprised if this happened in Thailand. 

 

In a case like this, the owner will probably have to pay the hospital bills, but that will be all.  Thai vets will not put down dogs for almost any reason, the police might write up a report, but they will not take any action.  No city authorities will do anything about what they perceive as a private matter.  If the owner or anyone else shoots or poisons the dog, they will probably get jailed or fined!

 

In Thailand, the only reaction to a dog attack will be twittering by 'outraged netizens'!

[Stargeezr]

In Canada when a dog attacks someone the dog is usually put to death, and the brain is examined to see if it had rabies.

  In the Buddhist of Thailand however, this is not the practice and it should be. I am not sure of the law in the UDA

but it seems to me that Thailand should think about the risks to the humans and not the sympathy toward the dog.

Just my opinion of course.

It's the same in the US and I'm sure that it's the same in most Western Countries.  Thailand needs to put aside this flawed interpretation of Buddhism that puts some animals above humans.

Street dogs have attacked people, usually when they are in a pack. 

However, they are usually more of a danger through being an utter nuisance to motorcyclists and cyclists...  

 

There was a story a while back of a '7-11 dog’ (a dog sitting outside 7-11) biting a childs face...  ‘dog apologists’ back then were suggesting the boy ‘must have done something to the dog’.... 

 

There are plenty of other stories of soi dogs attacking children....
