Rassada, Phuket – Stray dogs were caught after they chased after tourists and residents near a public park in Phuket City.

 

The Phuket City Municipality was notified from residents that furious stray dogs were chasing after tourists and residents near the Toh Sae Hill Public Park in the Rassada sub-district, Mueang Phuket District.

 

The Phuket City Municipality contacted the Phuket Live Stock Office. This week three furious stray dogs were caught by using anesthetic shots.

Bet those dogs had been neutered by the soi dog foundation, they are always boasting how they solved the doggie problem in Phuket. They need slotting, not sterilising, and certainly not just knocked out then moved somewhere else.

At least they don't chase people. Harmless IMO.

Hopefully they will be disposed off properly and not end up on some meat BBQ stall or a noodle soup...

They have not killed them just knocked them out and taken them somewhere else, idiotic.

Hopefully, the dogs will be relocated to somewhere they won't be thought to be a problem.

and there's only three participants pointing out of 16 .....  very poor effort by the other 13 .....   they need some attitude adjustment course ....   much more definition if 16 were pointing.

Cats dont generally attack people and they do control to some extent the rats and mice. Maybe not a good idea to cull the cats unless you want rat infestations.

My cats are the same. They seem to consider it the best fun you can have in catching a rat. In the 1980's Qatar in the Middle East was overrun with rats. Some rats were the size of puppies; not to be messed with. They brought in cats and now it is rare to see a rat.

Why stop at Phuket. The menace of soi dogs is everywhere in Thailand. spaying and giving dogs dogs vasectomies only helps in the long term in small areas. and keeps the pet lovers happy.

 

Outside my house in rural Kamphaeng Phet is a T junction. On Wednesday evening about 7:15 pm a Thai came up the leg of the T on his scooter and turned to his left, straight into a pack of soi dogs.

 

One dog was killed and the guy was taken to hospital.

 

The damage was a badly broken scooter or motorbike, a Thai in hospital certainly overnight and maybe longer, a hospital bill he has to pay, repairs to his scooter if it isn't a write off, possibly no job after he recovers, a family with no income, and of course NOBODY knows or admits to whose dog it was.

 

What I do know is that last week a neighbour had 4 dogs and this week, only 3 dogs.

 

IMHO there needs to be dog wardens to catch every dog not securely in a compound or on a lead.

Every dog and its owner MUST be registered with a collar and ID and have a licence. 

 

If found without then sent to a kennel for 7 days after that the dog to be humanely destroyed. NO exceptions.

And how long will they stay there and at whose expense?

Why should somebody else be lumbered with the problem?

The article says the stray dogs were furious, which is impossible.

As I have written many times before, dogs are simple creatures that need to be stood up to and never run away from. They will always chase if you run, but never attack furiously without reason.

If only more humans understood 'man's best friend' because they're easily dealt with.

Luckily the thumbs down emoji has been disabled, because I'm expecting a backlash from dog haters. ????????

And, while they're at it, round up all stray/out of control military strongmen/wannabe dict PMs and make an example of them.

From the article...

Stray dogs in Thailand have often been a polarizing subject with many passionate opinions and points of view, notes TPN media.

...:whistling:

I have been reading many of Stephen 100's recent posts and I have to admit that I am beginning to warm to him gradually, although it has taken a few years.

 

A far as 2Long's post above is concerned, I wonder if he has ever heard of the saying that "a dog is man's best friend, especially if you are starving"?

Dogs, especially bully breeds are always attacking without reason, if they think they can get away with it these sly devious animals will attack. Unfortunately the hundreds of thousands bitten in the US alone each year and the many killed did not know how to 'stand up to them' - good luck doing that with a pit bull!

That's such a cute story.

 

Soi Dog rescue foundation to the rescue!

 

Ugh.

First of all, I recommended they be relocated somewhere they would not be thought to be a problem.

 

But more fundamental is the fact that killing something because you think it's a problem is just not an acceptable thing to do.

Good idea.

 

I rarely see cats here in Issan, Sakon Nakhon.   People prefer having 30 soi dogs loitering in there yards while they struggle to even sustain themselves or there children.

 

Misguided empathy for dogs is ugly.

I don't live in a town. I live on about 16 rai in the mountains. I now have 14 dogs, all who were abandoned along the mountain road which runs past our property.

These three dogs would be welcome here. 

Being popular is not my main concern.
