An elderly man was arrested after his unleashed pitbulls attacked and killed a neighbor's dog, with the owner callously watching without offering assistance. The Thai Animal Rescue Foundation and the Smiling Dog Foundation reported the incident to the police in Sadao District, Songkhla Province, on June 30, 2023.

 

Legal action will be taken against the owner for allowing his dogs to fatally attack the neighbor's dog, constituting animal cruelty, reported INN.

 

During the investigation at Ban Klong Ram, Moo 5, Thung Mo Subdistrict, Sadao District, authorities met with the uncle who owned the Pitbull and Golden Retriever involved. The uncle cooperated, expressing remorse, and led them to the location of the attack. He claimed he did not incite the dogs, as they normally played together. However, on that day, they unexpectedly turned aggressive.

 

Concerned for his safety, the owner refrained from intervening and instead called his own dogs. The investigating officers will summon him for further questioning and pursue legal action for animal cruelty and damages. The incident highlights the need for accountability when keeping potentially dangerous breeds like Pitbulls, which pose a threat to both animals and humans, especially children.

And allowed his dogs to kill another dog?  He should be held responsible.

The biggest bull<deleted> scam what concern dogs and dog-owners..... "Good owner - good dog" and "bad ownder - bad dog"......

 

That is absolutely NOT true at all.... These creepy pitbulls should be killed and wiped out all of them.... And defending that breed with that above "say" is the worst we can do.. Lets face the truth instead and wipe em out.... Next time it is your turn to be eaten attacked or just killed by a Pitbull...

How about rounding up the pitbulls and exporting them to China as "special delicacy". Ingestion will surely increase virility or fierceness of the gourmet customers.

Bring in the Vietnamese specialists - BBQ pitbull!!

A poorly trained pitbull is a weapon. Much the same as unleashing an automatic weapon, a car onto a crowd, or a bomb. Lock this clown up for attempted murder.
