rexpotter Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I just moved back to Thailand and four months ago in the area I stay there was a huge problem with overfed aggressive street dogs. They survived on tossed out restuarant food, and the do-good dog lovers feeding them. Could not even walk around the area at night. So one day I noticed they were all gone, and I mean forty or fifty of them. I also noticed that Chiang Mai really cleaned up the dog problem in the northwest of the city where lots of expats live. Wonder how they do it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Parvo virus? Heart worm? If there is a lot of it about it will thin out the doggie population quite quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They collect them, put them in a van then dump them somewhere else to continue being the filthy vermin that they are.🤨 3 4 6 1 1 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some of us, that almost worth ฿1000, for others, maybe ฿1M. Some things have no real value, except sentimental value. TBH, not much that can't be replaced, and sometimes hope someone would come and steal all the crap I've collected, as I have a hard time discarding it, or give me a good reason to upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few cats needed purely for rodent control purposes only. Same on cats. Where I grew up people had working dogs that were for hunting only, for one example. others for security. Most farms had cats that lived without being fed, from the milk from the dairy cows. Good idea. But I really do not like whining cats or dogs that beg. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) In Pratumnak the alphas disappeared, maybe that's the strategy, i do see dogs dumped in the middle of nowhere outside Pattaya. I see the feeders perpetuating the problem around Wat Yan, why can't they take them in as pets? Edited April 15 by scubascuba3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hats I've might have worn 1 or 3 times, if that. Hat's of cities I've been to, most in the Americas, and not a hat person. Or a t-shirt person, unless a good concert. Couple plastic containers of clothes I'll never wear, as cold weather stuff, some favorite, or commemorative. And that box of photos, that I never scanned and uploaded. Good thing we have a dog to protect all that, except when we're not home, neither is she, usually, since the most precious thing that can't be replace Edited April 15 by KhunLA 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the morons get in exchange for your life may be next to nothing. I've got a sqaure rai of fence to cover. The dogs do an excellent job. Their there to deter morons from attempting to be murderous morons. That's all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to be honest to believe that you've ever really liked dogs, as you claim, after a comment like that; dogs are the most humane, loving, and loyal creatures on this planet, and none of them get a choice as to whether or not they become clean, well cared for pets, or have to scavenge to exist as filthy flea bags. As someone that has lived in SE Asia for a long time, it would be nice to think you had a bit more understanding an empathy for the plight of soi dogs 4 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
