The 76 year old grandmother who was attacked by Pit Bull dogs that got out of a house in Nakhon Phanom's Nong Yat community has spoken to the press from her hospital bed.

 

ASEAN NOW reported on the case yesterday, one of many in recent months concerning Pit Bulls.

 

Thongphoon or Yai Yoon needed many stitches to her right ear and is being monitored in hospital.

 

She told Siam Rath that she had just been to a relative's house for a meal when she walked past the house where the dogs were kept.

 

But the door had been left open.

 

She said she was knocked to the ground by three dogs who bit her all over.

She said but for the intervention of a neighbor who helped her get the  dogs off she would have been killed.

 

She said that the owner of the animals had visited her in hospital. She was not putting a price on compensation - it was up to the owner.

 

She also said that she did not intend to file a police report - she just wanted the animals looked after elsewhere.

Time to ban the breed and cross breeds, they are clearly far too aggressive to be pets. No excuses for these muscled bound fighters holds water, killers which attack indiscriminately and with no warning. The compensation should be putting the things down to prevent the next attack. 

Put the owners down and find the dogs a good home.

The only good home for bully breeds is in the ground.

She need to make a report. 

A generic answer to/from pit bull and associated breed lovers.

 

But but but my dog would NEVER do anything like that.

 

Until it does and by then it is too late for the victim.

I would really like to be sympathetic but when the majority of the Thai population think there is nothing wrong with dogs roaming loose then it is very difficult.

You're right.

 

Thailand is a "Don'tgiveatosscracy"

 

Anybody who can't live in and amongst that should not even contemplate establishing a home there.......yet still they do.
