City Hall opens channel for complaints about Kru Kai Kaew sculpture

[snoop1130]

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has opened a channel through which members of the public can lodge complaints, if they feel that the oversized “Kru Kai Kaew” sculpture, located in front of a hotel at the Ratchadapisek-Lat Phrao intersection, is causing inconvenience.

 

A group of people, who call themselves “National Thai Citizens”, filed a complaint with the governor yesterday (Thursday), asking him to order the winged half beast and half demon figure to be removed, claiming that it is located on public land.

 

The group also expressed concern that some worshippers may slaughter pets as sacrifices to Kru Kai Kaew. Followers who believe in the mythical creature have, however, denied that live animals are used in sacrificial rituals.

I like it - in a sort of evil, surreal, alternative universe sort of way

Seems a simple resolution would be spare the pets and slaughter the complainants

I think we could find some middle way here, that solves a problem right away. Soi dogs given to Satan sculpture = Everyone happy. Just as real buddhism as requesting good luck, money etc (should not).
