snoop1130 Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Phuket officials swoop on stray dogs, photo by Phuket Municipality. Following a number of complaints from fed up locals, Phuket officials on Wednesday swooped on stray dogs in the island province’s main city district. The residents had complained that a pack of dogs had been causing a nuisance. They said the dogs were chasing after motorcycles, as well as defecating on streets and people’s properties. The Department of Public Health and Environment’s veterinary team, and officials from Phuket Municipality, caught two strays in the Taling Chan community. The rest of the dogs, however, managed to run away. The officials brought the two captured dogs to the Phuket Stray Dog Shelter (Suang Pa Bang Kanun). There, they were checked for diseases before being vaccinated and sterilised. It was confirmed that the dogs would remain in the shelter’s care. The municipality reported that it is making efforts to deal with Phuket’s stray dogs, using methods such as vaccination and sterilisation. However, the problem with people abandoning unwanted dogs on the streets persists. The issue of people allowing their dogs to roam around on the streets makes the problem even worse, the municipality added.

OK, so declare all dogs out on the street as strays and put them all down - owned or not. Better still, put the dogs down and then charge the owners for the death drugs if they have a collar or ID 5 1 1 2 2

They got that wrong then, along with the lie that what they are doing is the solution to the growing soi dog problem in the rest of the country. 3 1 3

That alone is not the problem. You could just cull every stray in Thailand it would not stop the cultural problem. People will never stop abandoning them. Then others will never stop feeding and tolerating 2 1

As fast as they catch stray dogs and sterilise them private owners are dumping their unwanted puppies on the streets, so the cycle persists. 5
