Animal Army sterilizes and vaccinates 60 stray dogs over the weekend with help from the local Pattaya community

[snoop1130]

 

The Animal Army Foundation, who is a registered Foundation in Thailand and licensed veterinary clinic and whose primary focus is the lifesaving medical care of homeless street animals sterilized and vaccinated roughly 60 stray dogs in the Pattaya area over the weekend with the help of the local community, including a local school.

 

60 DOGS (3 TVT) + 1 CAT NAJOMTIEN

 

RABIES RED ZONE STERILISATION & VAX TALLY

 

Today was a really tough day, with some tricky catches. Our dart ninjas managed to apprehend 10 very clever dogs. That brings our total to 60 dogs (over the weekend), 3 of which need chemotherapy for TVT and 1 dog with a large hole in the head.

Maybe if you focused on set areas then locals may be more willing to contribute, for example if you were going to 100% resolve the dog issue on Pratumnak Sois and did a campaign you'd get decent money

Sadly, like corruption, the soi dogs are everywhere and impossible to keep in check as long as people keep feeding the beasts.

Sixty..... there are more than that on the road at the bottom of my street some days.

They can come do my neighbours dogs anytime.... cyanide please!

I passed sixty dogs on the 2 kilometre round trip to Tops on Kao Noi.  Does sterilising them stop them crapping everywhere; running in and out of traffic; biting people; spreading diseases; disturbing the peace at night?

We live in the same area, and I have to say there are about 60% less dogs now than before. That said, just one scares the toilet out of me.

 

Should be, no owner, then put them down , or locked in a field until dead.

 

I'd also put 1 year Thailand ban on all the people on here feeding the mutts too or make them responsible for all the hospital bills of every person they bite !

While we all would like to see the aggressive soi dog problem go completely away, and it's easy to be negative in regards to them, I applaud the Animal Army's efforts! It would be great if there were more of you.

This is a small step in the right direction.

 I am a big proponent of responsible pet ownership.

The glaring issue is that these soi dogs are not anyones pet. Neither are they a natural species in the Thai microcosm.

In my opinion the answer is to cull these feral animals.  The money and time spent on this project, and others like this, would surely be better if directed at humanitarian issues or even mental health awareness and help.

my wife runs ,and in the hills a lot of the time ,she says that there are loads of these dogs even up there on the trails .

No ,and it is a Waste of time and money .

They could've spend that money to exterminate  a lot more Soi dogs than 60 and make the place a lot safer .

But hey this is Thailand they know best ,So they think.

Why bother? 

[DefaultName]

Treat and release.  These dogs will still be a problem for the rest of their lives and, by example, will train the next generations of pack members to be a problem too.  I love dogs, most of my life I've had dogs, but a radical cull is the only real solution for the safety of humans - especially little humans.

I have a much better & cheaper idea to get rid of most of ,,,,,,,,,,Oh, never mind

mate i was going to comment the same   its a pi## in the ocean..a cull is needed...

[Stargeezr]

60 dogs is not even a drop in the bucket. Keep up the sterilizing.

[clivebaxter]

Just shows what a waste of time all this doggie do gooding is, 60 which can still attack and spread diseases. Only about another 4 million to go then

Good idea but many of the dog feeders are Thai as they believe it is a way of making merit and a path to a better afterlife. Deporting them for a year may be a bit extreme though I do believe strongly in an eye for an eye.

extra thoughts.

[Golden Triangle]

I've said it before, give me a licence to own a 9mm pistol & I will happily despatch as many as I can, horrible, noisy, smelly, disease ridden mutts.

[itsari]

One dog with a large hole in its head .

 

Then give it one more hole in the head 

[Will B Good]

60 down, 8,900,040 to go.

I recently spent a week in Pattaya, first visit for close to 3 years. The thing that made the biggest impression on me was the terrible stray dogs situation. Every soi I walked around had packs of the filthy things. During the day when they mainly slept it wasn't so bad, but from sunset on it became terrible. And dogsh*t everywhere. You really have to keep a keen eye out while walking...there must be an incredible number of people who pick up dogsh*t on their shoes and bring it back to their hotels/rooms. Sterilization of bitches helps but it's not enough, they need culling. Every stray dog caught and killed. There's no other solution, Thailand can't run a "rescue dog" plan like they have in Australia and elsewhere, nobody in their right mind, would want to bring one of these filthy dangerous diseased animals into their home.

Estimated to be around 9 million stray dogs in Thailand......absolutley ludicrous situation.......but I would put my shirt on the situation either never changing or only ever getting worse.
