"Envious" Pit Bull called Nazi attacks - owner left in a pool of blood

[webfact]

Sanook Thai Caption: Envious of food given to strays

 

INN and Sanook (with an aftermath video) reported on yet another Pit Bull attack in Thailand. 

 

A breed some dog lovers think is just a big loyal softy...especially with children.

 

This time it was the owner of the dog who was attacked because the media said that it was envious of strays getting food.

 

Korat rescue services were called to the woman with serious injuries in Soi Thakerngphol 5 in Muang district of Nakhon Ratchasima, NE Thailand.

 

In a concrete area outside a two story house lay Suphaporn, 60, who had been bitten in the neck and upper arm. It was a grisly scene.

 

The savage dog had been locked up in the house. It was still in a fierce state. 

 

The husband of the victim said they had raised the male dog since it was a puppy. It was now 6.

 

"Nazi",he said, was a strong and powerful dog, that had got upset through envy after his wife went to share some of his food with a stray dog called Whitey. 

 

Nazi wouldn't let his wife go and an iron bar had to be used to pry its jaws from her body.

 

A neighbor said that she heard a commotion. She said she'd helped look after Nazi since he was small when the owners were away.

 

She'd be careful with his feeding. He'd once bitten the husband but it wasn't serious.

 

She also said that the wife often fed strays that annoyed Nazi.

 

But she wouldn't be going near him again.

Zero sympathy 

[PremiumLane]

Is this the Onion? A dog called 'Nazi'.....

 

And nice little snide comment at the start of the article. Yes, they can be OK if trained properly, this one clearly wasn't.

[Old Croc]

It seems to be a thing for many Thais to obtain large specialty bred dogs without the knowledge, nor interest, in how to properly train them.

This is obviously a case where the animal, not a human, is the pack leader.

All dogs can be trained right up to the moment of their first bite.  Anyone feeding strays spoils life for the rest of the non-dog owning population who use roads or need sleep or whose bodies react to dog-spread diseases.  We sneer at the Elizabethans who used to empty their potties out of the bedroom window yet Thailand allows millions of dogs to urinate and defecate on every soi in the land.

An old Chinese - Thai fellah that used to live opposite me called his dog "Hitler". ????

 

Seen a few Thai FB pages advertising Pitbull dogs for sale, and emphasizing the dog's aggressive characteristics as a selling point. Ugh. Appeals to a certain demographic.

Dog of peace.

Pit bulls are powerful, and despite any training they might receive, they seem more unpredictable than some other types.  They do have more aggression in their blood than many others; e.g. collie, cocker spaniel, Saint Bernard, etc.

 

Once the dog has shown its capability for destructive violence like this, it should be put down.  If it is not put down, the owners make themselves responsible for whatever harm the dog may do again--so if the dog later kills someone, the owners would be guilty of murder.

 

Putting the dog down is not a matter of punishment, but a matter of protecting others.  And it must be done.

[JonnyF]

Once again, clueless owners.

 

I knew a Thai guy in Phuket who had a Pitbull called Tyson that he kept in a small cage, barely big enough to turn around in. Often whacked it with a stick. If it was lucky it got let it out for about 15 minutes a day. Then complained when it bit his gardener that was shooing it with a broom.

 

Wonderful dogs when trained properly and cared for. Very intelligent with huge personalities. Ours is great company.

A bullet would solve the problem.  Come to think of it two bullets, one for the dog and one for the owner.

You forgot to mention that they have named their stray dog 'Whitey'.

I wonder what type of politics they follow.

 

[spidermike007]

1. There is no Buddhavistic merit is feeding strays. They are a scourge. 

 

2. Owning a pit bull is never a smart choice. Especially when there are kids around. It does not matter how they are raised. They just seem to have a vicious and aggressive gene. They are horrendous creatures. 

 

3. Compassion is something that should be well placed. There are circumstances where it is just not justified.

Did the dog flee to South America or take a pill?

[richard_smith237]

Are there ever any dogs which we usually see on dangerous dogs list in countries such as the UK ever called by names which are not ‘kind of violent’... i.e. Tyson, Ripper, Blaze etc...  does anyone name their Pit-Bull, Doberman or Rottweiler, Sandy, Buddy, Patch ???? 

 

Of course, these dogs when extremely well trained are awesome, I’ve no doubt we’ll hear from such responsible owners soon - however, there are always owners who are completely irresponsible. 

Ultimately, such dogs are highly dangerous, as such, any owner of a dog considered a ‘dangerous breed’ really should have a license to own such an animal. 

To obtain such a licence they’d need to undergo training of how to look after and train such an animal and prove that they can secure the animal and house it properly when both present and out, they also need to prove they can afford to look after it properly and have the time to care for it properly. 

I know thats a ridiculously tall ask for a country which doesn’t even enforce helmet laws correctly - nevertheless this is where we should be. 

 

Owners really need to be fully responsible for their pets. All pets should have a collar. 

IF that dog gets out  (I know, not this story), the owner is fined. If that pet bites or hurts someone else, the owner is fined at a commensurate level. 

IF dogs on the street do not have a collar, they should be removed (debate ongoing in another thread)..

 

No doubt someone like Bill Smart will come along to tell us how humans made this dog problem, how its in a book he wrote that humans are the scourge of the planet and if there were no humans we wouldn’t have these issues....

I can understand why the faces of humans are obscured in news reporting; but I cannot understand why the dog has its eyes obscured for the picture?  But this is Thailand.

Thai defamation laws, the dog may sue.

An old Thai woman is feeding a stray and gets savaged by her pit bull. And you say "no sympathy"! I think that says a lot about your lack of humanity. Unbelievable.

The problem with that is finding a Thai vet to do the job. No matter how much pain the animal is in, nor the fact that it is dying, very few Thai vets will put an animal to sleep.

 

You are talking about a healthy animal.

 

There is a better chance of finding a cop to do it for cash.

Of course sympathy for the old Thai woman. 

 

But, at least an innocent neighbours Child wasn’t attacked etc....    The owners of this dog didn’t train the dog properly, most likely though innocent ignorance of the dogs needs. 

 

Everyone knows these breeds can be dangerous, I can understand those who express a certain lack of sympathy towards those attacked by their own pet which they failed to train well enough. 

 

This is why these animals should be licensed and the owners trained and evaluated before they can have a licence to own such an animal....  (and I know, this is Thailand and unlikely to happen, but that should be the case).

[phetphet]

If she had bought a chihuahua instead, they wouldn't have needed an iron bar to pry its jaws open, and the damage would have been far less.

Then again. A Chihuahua named Nazi might have looked ridiculous. ????

I heard someone say to me not long ago that it is now illegal in Thailand to kill a dog.  Can anyone confirm this?  And if this were the case, would there be an exception for one proven to be savage and dangerous?

[animatic]

If the dog saw his food being taken from him and given to a lesser status dog by a lesser statust master, he could well want to assert his claim.

 

We have one huge dog, but we feed him after the smaller dogs and keep him leashed till his time comes. He also is told to sit and wait for an eat command before he can start.
 

We must always let him know WE control food and never him. This works. But we also never take his food from him. Food for the others arrives separately, even if prepared together. 
 

If you think like dogs think you can control most dogs, if not you get problems.
