"Stop shooting my dog" - owner's appeal to neighbor after "Jao Mee" is shot twice; she has no money for the vet

Daily News Thai Caption: Victim of a savage

 

A dog owner in Buriram appealed to Daily News as a means of stopping a neighbor who shot her black dog "Jao Mee" (Bear) twice in the last week.

 

The media used the word "ammahit" that relates to savagery.

 

Saijai, 66, in Nong Chaisri sub-district said that her four year old Thai breed dog had run in bleeding a couple of days ago.

 

He'd been shot in the neck and the projectile was embedded there. She put some "yaa daeng" (probably Betadine) on the wound - she doesn't have any money to take him to the vets.

Since the shooting he has been sullen and subdued unlike his former lively self.

 

She continued that last week Jao Mee was also shot but that time it didn't affect him so much even though the bullet was also embedded.

 

Neighbors have told her that a pencil gun was used by someone who was cross that the dog went in their property.

 

"I want to tell the person to stop shooting my dog," she said. "If he's annoying you just chase him away and inform the owner."

This says a lot about the attitude of so called dog owners here.

Why don't they just keep their dog inside their own yard?

I do not condone the shooting of the dog but i can understand the anger

and frustration of the shooter.

How long has that dog been a pest to the neighborhood?

Who typically takes no notice whatsoever and may even consider themselves affronted and attack you with a sharp object.

 

******* idiot place!

My wife has another home in a small village up in Issan that we visit a few times a year. She spends most of her time visiting family and friends or checking her rice fields leaving me at home there. Frequently dogs wander in and out and if I see them I shoo them out. She saw me do it one day and asked me not to do it and I asked why as they were only coming in to <deleted> in her place rather than someone else’s property. The reply was I don’t want to upset the owners by stopping it !!!

Agree totally, I'm a dog owner but my dog stays inside our property and when I do take her out it's on a leash. Plus when she does her business outside our property I pick it up, I don't leave it in the street--like a lot of owners. People need to realize not everyone likes animals, especially when they're on someone elses property.

I used to have a neighbor who let her dog s**t in the street--usually in front of my house, anyway, I gathered it up over a period of weeks and dumped it into her yard, she finally got the message.

Recognizable, loss of face is the worst thing for a Thai.

So the dog has been quiet ever since. Good.

No need to shoot it. Only a savage would do that. 

 

Just throw a stone, or use a catapult if you must. Shooting it is way OTT.

So the only thing that suffers is the dog that doesn't know any better. Whilst you have two people with supposedly more intelligence who could remove the problem using common sense.

Not if the guy doing the shooting has young kids who could be attacked by the festering thing.

"I do not condone the shooting of the dog but i can understand the anger

I do, maybe the shooter has young kids. I've read about a lot of UK dog attacks on kids and old people recently, some of them fatal. Dogs should never be allowed on other people's property, just like loud bass-heavy music. They're both a menace.

The silly little thing hardly looks like a child killer. You're just making excuses for animal cruelty.

 

Cruelty to animals is an excellent indicator of psychological disorders (in particular psychopathy) and should never be tolerated IMO.

Please refrain from the overuse of common sense and intelligent in this case.

Wow, I never thought id see the day id agree with you. Totally agree.

 

Shooting a dog goes too far. If there is a problem talk first and between talk and shooting there are other options (not that i condone animal cruelty) but scaring it of an other way would have been the preferred option.

Yep, dogs are akin to children and farts. You can only stand your own.

The lady and the dog have been warned twice! ( dog being shot twice).
Some Thai  people dont want a confrontation with a idiot dog owner,

that lets their dog run a muck!

[radiochaser]

Is a pencil gun in Thailand anything like the one in this picture?  I don't recall ever hearing the term.
