In a case that shocked the online community, a 34-year-old poultry farmer, Prechburin, was charged with animal cruelty after beating a dog to death. The dog had reportedly trespassed onto his property and killed 200 of his chickens. The grisly incident, caught on camera, triggered a social media outcry for justice.

 

Upon receiving reports, police at Theparak station discovered the deceased dog and launched a search for Prechburin, who was absent from his property.

 

His family later informed the authorities that he had gone into the city for a doctor's appointment and would surrender himself thereafter, reported Sanook.

 

A neighbor, understanding the predicament of both Prechburin and the dog's owner, commented, "We all love the things we raise, but violence against animals is wrong."

 

Facing heavy criticism, Prechburin apologized on social media: "I also love my chickens just like you love your dogs. I didn't want to harm the dog...who will take responsibility for my loss?"

regardless of his actions he has a point here.

it's a complicated case.

maybe some leniency should be factored in ..

and maybe farmers should be subsidized when unforseen events damage their livelihoods.

 

Would have been smarter to leave some poison baits around late at night when nobody can see anything.

Chicken farmer in Thailand. Insurance? Dog control, nature, time of day the dog is alleged to have killed the chickens, security of the 'farm', proof the dog did it.... All sorts of questions for me. And the statement that poison bait should be left around...shouldn't even joke about that. Humans are supposed to be better than animals. I suspect a temper tantrum. Killing an animal that's following its instinct is a bit much. I've seen the effects of poisoning dogs and dogs chasing and killing chickens...

Poison baits may kill more than the targeted animal... not the best course of action.

Not really: as in the uk and other countries a farmer has the right to protect his animals ie if a dog is not on a leash it can be shot!!! Keep your dogs under control. Note: I'm a dog/animal lover and I hate seeing dogs off the leash near roads or when people have little or zero control over their dogs. I had well trained gun dogs who were never ever off the lead near roads and always brought to heal and leashed when other dogs or people about.

Beating the animal to death is far more humane than poisoning it. Don't farmers in developed countries still shoot dogs that ravage their animals? They used to in the UK and rightly so. Unfortunately there are now too many who treat their dogs like human beings. We had visitors this weekend. On their departure the owner said, "Say goodbye to the dog." My immediate thought was to give that person a soldier's farewell. The dog would have enjoyed it and burst it's raincoat it has to wear. Pathetic. I like dogs. All the dogs I've had were treated like dogs and trained not to kill chickens. . Now bring on the dog pampering brigade's comments.

It's a Dogs world out there, Dogs are more imported then People .

Soi dogs run around , If not a Soi dog it should be Inside a Fenced off property.

Chook farmer should also have their place fenced off , So Tit  For Tat 

Kill the dog no harm done .

I would do the same but then My place is fenced off.

Goddam, those chickens must have been finger licking good.

What about the chickens?  The owner of the dog is responsibile for the actions of his dog, so he effectively killed 200 chickens.
