Thai woman’s barking mad quest for justice after 2 boys cause dogs to die in car accident

[webfact]

A Thai woman sought justice for her two dogs that died in a car accident after two boys sneaked into her home, assaulted her dogs, and ultimately led the woman’s beloved pets to their deaths. ”

 

The dog owner, Maneewan Sandee, shared pictures of her dead pets and the story behind their deaths on Facebook on November 26. Her three Siberian huskies, named Jasmine, Anna, and Elsa, were somehow let out of her home in the northern province of Chiang Mai.

 

The dogs sprinted onto the road and collided with a passing car. Jasmine and Anna, two of the dogs, lost their lives, while Elsa stood guard over the lifeless bodies of her companions at the scene of the incident.

 

Maneewan expressed profound sorrow at the significant loss. Not only did she mourn the passing of her cherished dogs, but she also found herself obligated to compensate the car owner.

Reading the full article makes things much clearer.

Another case of kids running wild and parental responsibility non-existent.

Hope she gets some justice. Wouldn't bring back her dogs, but may help to prevent future problems (at least from these two brats).

The boys story:

The boys, aged seven and nine, told Maneewan that they had entered her home to retrieve a ball that had inadvertently ended up inside. In the process, they left the gate open, allowing the dogs to escape. Maneewan stated that he decided to forgive the boys as they issued an apology and cried. She then excused herself to bury the bodies of the two pets.

 

The CCTV evidence:
 

Maneewan checked her security camera and discovered that the story was very different from what the boys had told her.

The two boys were seen entering her home without permission. They struck her dogs with badminton bats, swung the gate open, dashed out of the house, and enticed the dogs to join them. The boys revelled and laughed at the situation.

Appalling behaviour by the two boys, and very sad for the lady dog owner. Just not sure what the law is regarding punishment of young children.

Yes I know 'coz I read that too.

And they say children shouldn't physically be punished, wack 'em with the badminton bat. or maybe they already learned that from their parents. harming animals at a young age, what will they be like when adults.

Clearly the parents should be financially accountable for the actions of these boys. 

 

I do not see why the lady in question should be forced to pay any compensation to the owner of the car which hit the dogs.

 

Her dogs were not free to roam.

 

The parents allowed their children to play unsupervised in the street, the parents are responsible for the consequences of damages caused by their children - this is a no-brainer IMO.

Nobody is "Forcing" her to pay, she just feels obligated.

I'm not so sure about that... 

 

The impression I had from the story is that she had already paid for the damages to the car...  very few people pay out for things like this voluntarily, its more likely she was 'pressured' into paying for the damages to the vehicle after accusations were levied that she had not secured her dogs. 

 

With the benefit of hindsight (footage from her security camera) she found the dogs did not escape through her own doing.

Disgusting "journalism". This poor woman is rightly mad with the loss of her pets but to weave the word "barking" into this sad story is just cheap.

[nobodysfriend]

The parents of the boys should pay for all the damage caused by their offspring .

And apologize officially to the woman .

this is another article from the infamous Petch Petapailin from thaiger news. every time i read an article from her i end up confused. 

 

her title is also classless and lo so. she always tried to poke jokes at situations that are far from funny. if i knew before hand that an article were written by her i would boycott it.

 

so, gentlemen, both of you are right until we get clear clarification, which will never happen

The parents should cover all the costs as they no doubt failed at teaching their little prince's right from wrong.

If all else fails, start dumping stray dogs over their fence, along with any turds laying about the street

Off topic but is there any consideration for keeping such dogs in this climate? I know they are a fad walked but, they must be uncomfortable their whole life. We walked past a Husky Cafe in my friends condo bloc in HCMC. Peeked at the people inside but to enter? The odour from even outside the shop unbearable. 
 

I have some experience visiting with Husky and Newfoundland dogs in cold areas they seem to love playing and sleeping in snow more than anything. Owner says hard to get them to come inside.
