If I knew there was even the smallest chance that someone might get hurt because I did not take certain steps - i would not be able to sleep at night. Yet these certain types of people just don't seem to give a damn. I just DON'T get this mentality that seems to be the norm here. not just thailand, nothing thai about this, it's people that are the problem. a 17 month old baby has just been killed in the uk by a dog purchased by the father a week before. you wonder what some people are thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Lou Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 23 hours ago, Will B Good said: Interesting.......watch the unedited version............ The kid gets the cat down from a high ledge and places it in the middle of the floor. He then opens the glass door and intentionally lets the dogs in to attack the cat. That does not seem to be quite what happened. The Bangkok Post has the longer video today and the dogs were not visible at the door while the cats were on the floor. The boy was sitting on the step apart from the cats when the dogs came into shot and and burst through a clearly closed door. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's instinct - my Thai mutts kill rats, chickens, snakes, squirrels all the time. Anything that moves in fact. They actually quite liked our cat but the feeling wasn't mutual so it decided to go live with the neighbours. That's cat loyalty for you ????. As for the kid, kids that age don't really assess risk well or consider the consequences of their actions. I'm sure the trauma of seeing the cat's demise will have taught him a valuable lesson. In other words, you are an irresponsible dog owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when you know nothing about someone's situation, it's best to keep quiet and not embarrass yourself ????. We have a farm near Korat and the dogs live on the farm. 4 of them we rescued (in very poor condition) from the streets, we took them in, fed them, vaccinated them, spayed them. They never leave the farm and they don't bother anyone who doesn't enter the farm. If taking in starving strays, vaccinating and spaying them and giving them 2 quality meals a day and a very pleasant life snoozing in the shade on a farm is irresponsible, then I guess I am guilty as charged ????. As you can see, it's a terrible environment for dogs to live. Edited March 24, 2022 by JonnyF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems you think the soi dogs live a healthy and a good life? Or dogs in Thailand is a protected specie? Most dogs have bad health, and get to live as long they do not harm people or animals. It is only in tourist areas they have some kind of protection by volouteers who try to save them, have a neuture program, and give them vaccines, replace and adoption and proper nutrition. Rest of the country they live mostly on rice and vegetables if lucky to have somebody who feed them, and really not much cared for. If dogs was cared for and a protected animal, there would not been any soil dogs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are Soi dogs and you stated a big problem Denutting doesn't get rid of them Feeding doesn't get rid of them Most of the time they don't have enough food that's why they fight and hassle people . That's why they have to be Culled . If they culled then don't have to suffer from Fleas Ticks and Mange and hunger . Grow up everyone Knows this but the Government Doesn't Care and Most people don't care they just let the Dogs suffer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually watched the cat torture a pigeon on my CCTV. Not a nice experience and if I was at home I would have done something about it. Yes I realise it's instinct but that doesn't mean I have to like it. As far as the kid is concerned, some of them just have an evil streak, they know exactly what they're doing. Although I agree with you they probably do not understand the ramifications of their actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
