Yet again another sick/retarded AN poster using a "Ha Ha" emoji!

It is not to be, but I would like to put such posters in similar life threatening incidents whilst we all stand and laugh at them while they struggle.

In an alarming incident that transpired within the serene vicinity of Ban Pa Mued Rungcharoen, Soi 23, Tambon Wiang Phang Kham, Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai, two unrestrained pit bulls unleashed a violent assault on a 64-year-old man with a disability.

 

The victim, identified as Mr. Thong Mai Sung, a person who had experienced the loss of his right leg, tragically succumbed to the ferocious attack, eliciting a profound sense of dismay and sorrow within the community, according to a Thai Rath report.

 

Dated December 21, 2022, local journalists recounted the brutal incident, uncovering the pit bulls' escape from confinement, leading to a relentless assault on Mr. Thong as he grappled with his crutches near his residence.

 

Eyewitnesses vividly portrayed the harrowing scene, detailing the dogs' ruthless aggression towards Mr. Thong's throat, inflicting severe injuries that resulted in excessive bleeding and ultimately claimed his life on December 20.

 

The aftermath of this incident has instilled fear and unease among residents, given the pit bulls' prior history of attacking and fatally injuring other animals in the neighborhood.

 

A growing chorus advocating for responsible ownership of such aggressive breeds is resonating throughout the community, with some voices urging the owners to consider relocating the pit bulls to ensure the safety of residents who harbor apprehensions about venturing into the Soi.

The dogs have prior attacks and we not euthanised ? Why not?

Owners need to be charged and face the courts

Dogs like these need constant supervision and monitoring by responsible owners, who are capable of securing and maintaining a dog with the constancy of discipline for the dogs

Dogs are not a big an issue , the owners need to be licenced IMHO

Dogs are not well maintained here all too often unfortunately

Just a word of caution for those contemplating poison and so on.

 

For one thing, it's a crime. Regardless of what the dog did.

 

Second, you may easily 'miss' the target, especially if talking about strays.

 

Had that in our Bangkok street years ago. The dogs weren't even the issue. Just the usual neighbor feud.

Neighbor A was caught on camera tossing the poison near the gate of Neighbor B.

One of neighbor A's dogs managed to eat one and died a horrible death, the rest fell outside the gate so two street dog died as well.

And our landlord's golden got real sick. Police was called, and Mr. B spent a few months in prison, fines too. No one talked to him after that.

Wait a second. Please tell me that the authorities have removed these two animals and are preparing to put them to down? I know nature is revered in certain cultures, but this is ridiculous. 😳

PEPPER SPRAY!! One should always have it on hand. There's a reason why mail delivery people ALWAYS carry pepper spray.  It works. So sad to read about these pit bull dog attacks. 🐕 

 

Ever tries to pull out a pepper spray out of your pocket/bag while a couple of pit bulls were jumping on you...?

It only works if you're ready. And if you spray it right.

[twizzian]

Usually when there’s a vicious dog attack, it suddenly doesn’t have an owner

[Purdey]

So many times I read about pit bull attacks where the owner later says they don't know what happened and the dogs are big softies, like lambs, wonderful with the kids and so on.

The fact they murdered a passer by kind of says something different.

Pitbull have to wear a muzzle in the Uk. Pity it dosen't apply to some  UK Residents in Thailand.

The report appears to be over a year old which is odd. I lived in Taiwan for 5 years where my neighbour had 2 large male pitbulls. They were a delight. Friendly and funny. In Thailand I have 6 dogs at our place in the country in Rayong. They will only go for you if you invite yourself unannounced through the main gates. I have never ever had a problem with soi dogs in all the time I have been in Thailand, having first arrived in 1961, worked here in the 1980s, and retired here in 1993.

Thai people are retarded with dogs. They let them roam around the streets and have to carry around sticks to fend the off.  When someone gets bitten or killed they're shocked. What's wrong with these people...

Thai have a special relationship with dogs, granted, but when it comes to attack dogs I have to say that westerners are the same. In a popular beach like Nai Harn in Phuket, full of families with kids, there are people walking pitbulls and such as some kind of show off. Many owners, if not most, farang.

People who own dogs, people who are comfortable or familiar with handling dogs may be perceived differently by dogs.

Enough that someone is afraid, stressed, aggressive or whatever and the dog might misinterpret the situation.

Ban anything that looks like a pitbull and euthanise any found, pay owners to have their killer pets put down

Countries should implement total bans on certain breeds. Any Pitt Bull, or other, that is identified within the borders is put down, systematically, ruthlessly. There are enough nice [mostly] peaceful pets around to keep us  company.

Five banned dog breeds in Australia are the American Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, and Perro de Presa Canario. These breeds are banned due to their reputation for aggression and their potential to cause serious harm.

Without a fail any news and a chorus of idiots out blaming the dogs. They are dogs, strong and powerful dogs who were raised by a human.

 

only one to blame is the owner.

 

i have 2 pitbulls, big loving teddy bears but they hate badly dressed men, rubbish collectors and anyone else who looks “dirty”

 

As such I always make sure they can not get to any people, over 10 years and not once they got out 

 

it is extremely tragic and horrendous to have seen the attack because their power is insane but again, dogs were raised by a human who failed to provide safety for others and have no control over dogs. 
 

where I live, all neighbors are scared of my dogs but at the same time love them because once I moved in all theft and robberies have stopped.

 

dogs know all the neighbors but make noise when a stranger comes around. Theft and break ins are  0 for years

Knew you would be along to defend these dogs, as you always do every time they kill or maim someone, why on earth did you get pit bulls. Do they make you feel more of a man. Any old mut will defend your property. All neighbors are scared of your dogs and for good reason, and the reason is ???

Too many wild dogs in Thailand, I am always concerned about this situation. Therefore I don’t walk that much.
