Soi dog attacked - stray suffers eye injury angering dog lovers

[webfact]

PICTURE: INN

 

INN reported that animal lovers were paying attention to a story about a stray dog in Pathum Thani that was reported injured in Lat Lum Kaew. It was covered in blood. 

 

The about seven year old male animal was found by Poh Teck Tung rescue services with an eye injury under a pick-up in the soi leading to Klong Chao Muang school.

 

After first aid at the scene rescue officials took the dog to a vet's in Sam Khok.

 

Vet Katanya Sae-lim said that the dog had been given pain killers but there was no nerve damage so it is hoped the animal's sight will not be affected.

 

He needs monitoring to prevent other diseases before he is allowed back on the mean streets of Pathum Thani. 

 

She thought that the dog had been hit with a blunt object due to the nature of his injuries.

The mind of the Thais. Treat the feral dog, give it pain killers and then release it to continue to roam the streets of Thailand to potentially hurt innocent citizens. Thainess in its glory.

That is not just a Thai trait.

It happens in most civilised countries.

......but it's a Thai forum! ????  If there were'nt so many stray, ownerless mongrels on the street, this would'nt happen! Why don't the "animal lovers" take them in and give them a home and get them of the streets if they are so concerned!

[billd766]

I wonder how many of those 'Thai animal lovers' offered to take the dog in and offer it a safe and stable home?

As I've said before, it's a two-way street.

If employers were told, hire an illegal you go to jail.

It would stop it overnight.

How would you feel if your internet went down on a regular basis.

Every time I hear or read about how Thailand aspires to be like S. Korea, Japan or even Singapore I say not so fast.  In my experience even a complaint to a business in a polite and constructive manner can be perceived as an attack.  I see little sense of improving from mistakes, poor product and poor service.  Just more of the “Same, Same etc”.  

 

I have ordered steak only once in Thailand.   I asked for medium but it was served beyond well done and the outside was charred black.   I was not going to ask for another steak but the response to the polite and constructive feedback I got was in essence “you can leave after you pay”.  I paid the 900 Baht bill and walked out.  From that day on I have not ordered steak in Thailand and rarely do I go out to an expensive restaurant. 

 

“If you have no or low expectations, you will not be disappointed”.

Dogs are stupid, but that does not stop the constant pro doggie stories in the media all the time. Responsible for hundreds of thousands of attacks on humans and dozens of deaths every year in the USA alone. This story is almost certainly exaggerated or totally fake.

Having lived here since 2008 I have taken in nine stray dogs.  Several have passed away but I still have five that I am caring for now.

 

That is my 2 Baht worth!

Think dogs get lifted and put in the pound in civilised countries and if not claimed or re homed they are put to sleep. I can't remember the last time I saw a dog wondering the streets alone even with a collar on.

Just a minute before reading the OP I was reading a Plymouth (UK) paper.  A dog had been found with it's throat cut out, leg broken etc etc.  So as you say, it happens elsewhere.

I didn't realise that you know the dog, that it's feral and might attack people. Most of the homeless dogs I see sit around food stalls hoping for something being tossed their way. Similar to homeless people, actually.

If this was in my area, the blunt object would most likely be a motor vehicle.

The local stray (or ‘semi-stray’) dogs lay on the (narrow) roads and often refuse to move.

To give them their dues - they fairly quickly learn to recognise my vehicles after a few near misses!

 

(semi-strays refers to the multiple ‘owners’ who would come out of the woodwork looking for compensation in the event that a dog is injured)

 

i am not a dog hater - we have 4 of our own. I am however a hater of vermin and irresponsible dog owners.

If there was not so many dogs, there would be more rats, mouse, and snakes. What do you prefere? Dogs or snakes in populated areas?

Many animal lovers do.

My next door neighbour has four. Friends that I 'dog sit' for have two. many other neighbours have one or two adopted strays.

This goes on everywhere

Comparing the number of snake and rat bites to the number of dog attacks, get rid of the dogs!

Well, that's accounted for about 12, thousands of the ownerless mongrels are still on the loose!

I agree, it is a shame they do not clean up the streets, both dogs for dogs sake and provide registration on every dog as well regulate who is allowed to breed dogs. Also important to clean up and stucture as well discipline garbage handling and safety. 
 

Anyway if you get rid of dogs now without making a good plan, there will be a huge problem with rats and snakes, and trust me, most people will think that will be a much worse problem than dogs that also provide some guardian if you treat them good.

Too many millions for people to take them in, they need to be terminated

Call time on Soi Dogs everywhere in Thailand.  The country is 10-15 years behind with these muts still roaming about many biting playing children, cyclists as well as a menace to normal domesticated animals.

[Lucky Bones]

Just walked 400 metres to and from Mom & Pop shop in East Pattaya.

Rounded up by 15 soi dogs protecting their dinner plates which the locals put out.

Vermin.

Take a big stick with you & prepare for another 100 dogs behind gates in tiny yards to go ape.

From what I know most soi dogs only bark at snakes, thus the snake goes behind the first safe fence it can find.

Possibly my house.

Not in the UK very strict laws. Strays are rounded up by the local authority dog warden

It is useless and a waste of time to talk to dog haters and climate change deniers .

We , by now , take care for about 25 soi dogs .In 2 walled in properties .  I pay about 80000 baht a month to care for them . I love them all . They are loyal and protective .One even saved my wife's life by killing a cobra when my wife was gardening . It got bit and died . Very sad .

To all dog haters here : I hope you get the same treatment as the one you propose for the soi dogs . Because , in no way , you are better than them . 55
