Thailand's strays: "All animals deserve to live" - rescue called after dog muzzled by wire rope

[webfact]

Daily News Thai Caption: Strays have feelings too

 

Aghast locals at a sugar factory in Bang Bung, Chonburi, eastern Thailand, called rescue services after finding a very distressed male dog in a tight wire rope muzzle that was causing a nasty swelling. 

 

The stray had blood coming from its front paws, too, reported Daily News.

 

Chomrom Phayak Burapha rescue arrived armed with a bamboo cage and a fishing net but catching the whimpering stray proved a tricky operation.

 

First a piece of fried chicken was used as a lure but when the cage was utilized the frightened animal headed for the woods.

 

Locals helped to flush him out and the fishing net was used to trap him.

 

Then the rescue team were able to cut the wire off. It had created a terrible swelling around the mouth of the stricken animal.

 

Wassana, 55, said they had taken pity on the dog as it appeared lost. But after they gave it food and water her son reported seeing it with the wire round its mouth. 

 

Rerngsak, 52, one of the rescue team said it looked like a snare used to catch dogs and cats. He called on people to stop using these inhumane devices saying:

 

"All animals deserve to live". 

 

Daily News referred to "sin perpetrated by cruel people" in their headline.

Right, best close all the abattoirs and make chopping up cows, pigs and chickens a criminal offence then! This crazy special treatment for dogs only makes no sense, but then neither do a lot of things here.

Because the human race is not perfect or all vegan. In some societies its ok to eat horse meat, others not, in some ok to eat dog others not.

 

The distinction here however is that a group of locals saw a dog suffering terribly for no other reason than it being trapped by a snare according to the report and decided to call the rescue services, that's it! Or would you have preferred them to just ignore it?

Nothing to do with vegan nutters, the claim is all animals deserve to live being made by somebody who no doubt scoffs dead ones down on a regular basis. They should have just put the dog out of it's misery and not made a big fuss about it. All this animal welfare nonsense in Thailand is nothing but a sham.

The claim was made by a rescue worker, its his job:

 

"Rerngsak, 52, one of the rescue team said it looked like a snare used to catch dogs and cats. He called on people to stop using these inhumane devices saying:" "All animals deserve to live". 

 

The ethics of putting down an animal who is in distress is another matter.

But it's a claim you hear a lot here and especially when it comes to dogs, while at the same time killing millions of animals to eat. Thais like to think they are compassionate when it comes to animal welfare, apart from nasty mutts they are anything but. Go round any market and you can see that, along with the diseased stray dogs limping about of course.

There you go back to killing millions of animals to eat. 

 

Like I said humans are not perfect, its the same in every country in the world, there are different levels of acceptance on which animals can or cannot be eaten.

 

This is not about that, its about local Thai's who decided to call the rescue service due to this dog being in excruciating pain.

 

The issue of stray dogs is one Thailand fails miserably in we all know that.

[KhunLA]

'deserve to live' ... as long as not a nuisance, danger, and someone will care for and most importantly, take responsibility for.

 

If not ... oh well, survival of the fittest. 

Don't cause a problem, and you won't have a problem.

You have to be very careful when you visit countries  that don't speak English as I ate dog in Vietnam and India as the menu was not in English. The education must start with the people of Thailand and not with the government, When they get a puppy they have it for life not until it gets big than they get rid of it.

[Screaming]

You know your in a third world country when its citizens let feral dogs run wild in the streets. So often I see Thai's put out rice for the feral dogs but yet not take them into their homes or take care of them. The abuse lies in letting them run wild to afflict injury to other citizens.

I think people here would be better to adopt this plan......

 

1.  Get a puppy 

 

2.  Then when it starts to look a bit old or they want another cute puppy, kill the old one and eat it.

 

Better to eat it then abandon it on the streets to suffer and have a hard life...being a potential danger to humans...which is what many seem to do here. 

 

Also makes economic sense...as they keep moaning about the increasing price of pork and chicken.

I dare say he had some fried chicken in the way home, swatted a spider in the car and spent his evening trying to teach jinjoks how to eat vegetables and not flys

in horrific painful and diseased conditions while spreading disease and causing accidents.  If he believes in animal welfare he should be lethally & humanely ending their suffering at a rate of a hundred a day.

Idiots compassion.  Today on Beach around Soi-4 in this "family friendly " resort.  What do these animal out of control people do every day besides turn the lights on?
