You've shown you don't know what you're talking about, so give it a rest Please.

 

There is no specific breed called a pit bull; pit bulls are either American bullys, American pit bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers, American bulldogs, or a mix of these breeds.Nov 8, 2565 BE

You are correct... Pitbull is an umbrella term used for the breeds as you state. 

 

It is a term used worldwide and accepted as such.  So how about you give it a rest?  Or what is YOUR point?

But if the writer of the article had wrote 'mongrel' instead of 'Pit Bull' then people would have just skipped over the article. I have an 'American Pitbull' and I say "that dog in the picture is 100% street mongrel'".

The problem here is you don't know if that photo is of the actual dog.  They just do a search for 'dog tied up' or such and post a picture.  'The photo credit says china press.

Not again! Pit Bull, or a Pit Bull cross - they are an unpredictable danger to the public and should be banned.

"It's never done anything like this before" is too late, I'm afraid - it should be  euthanised immediately, as it is now likely to do it again, next time it feels the owner's son is "threatened".

4. I believe the fate of the dog should be decided by both the owner and the people who witnessed the incident and should be based primarily on whether or not the attack was deemed to have been provoked or unprovoked.

Give it a go...............see what happens. Will any one of the relatives want their kids to play nearby where the "dog stands by on guard duty".

 

The post reads like the dog was not provoked just reacting negatively for the first time. 

The cost of covering the medical bills & cosmetic surgery will be big bucks over a long time.

 

The dog has lost his family friendly licence...................village justice will prevail eventually.

I agree to disagree. 

 

I love dogs and have never had a bad run in with any dog.  Several dogs have displayed aggressive tendencies but I know what to look for and to give them a wide berth. 

 

A very good friend had a Pitbull x,  he treated it like family.  Generally a great dog.  One day it just snapped and went him.   Several stitches in his hand later, he decided to put the dog down.  He could no longer trust the dog around his young child. 

 

They (Pitbulls) are known worldwide to have the ability to be unpredictable and aggressive.  Hence why many countries have registrars for these dogs, some even ban them altogether. 

 

Unfortunate but it happens. 

 

 

Yes, the key word here is "unpredictable". A few years ago, a Pit Bull that use to sleep in the same bed as his "master" suddenly turned in the middle of the night and bit him to death, and if I remember rightly, it was taken to the temple a couple of days later to apologise to the corpse!!!

Only in "Now even more Amazing Thailand"!!!

Made me smile this one.

Lucky little girl, but will be scarred and face disfigured for life...

yes, YOU ARE correct, dog apologized during the funeral..... it was unbelievable 

All the dogs that I have seen in villages across Isaan, are not “pets” in the Western sense of the word. They are street dogs that roam around their village territory, under nourished, un medicated, untrained, unwashed and unvaccinated. Many are aggressive. Many are in packs, because an “owner” has several dogs.

 

taking off rose tinted glasses from Western eyes, these aren’t very far from wild dogs.

 

The dog in question in the article will be on a chain for as long as the owner can be bothered to keep it there. I fear, not long. After that, all bets are off on whether the dog bites again. Odds are it will for one reason or another.

 

That is reality.

While this is mostly true the breed was bred to be aggressive and fight. This, in itself, was stupidity as they were always going to end up as pets. It probably has the highest incidence of death or serious injuries amongst other breeds. It’s a bad breed!

Untrained dog left to roam free around screaming children bites child. Hardly an unusual event.

 

The only reason it is news is because it is ostensibly half pitbull. Which looking at it, I highly doubt. 

Yep, no news about all the Stray Soi dogs Attacking people everyday. 

Send the dog to doggy heaven. These dogs are dangerous. How many kids have to be torn to shreds before the wokies understand the danger? 

Korean pitbull soup is delicious.

Here we go again.    This topic has reared its ugly head too many times, it will do again and again, each time with 7+ pages of bickering, and the dog gets to live.

 

Someone above wrote>> If that was my daughter it would be dead as soon as I could get near it.

How any father could let it live is beyond me. How anyone could possibly want to keep a dog that has done that is beyond me.

 

Oh yeah, me too. P.B.?  If it looks like one, if it behaves like one then its near enough. 

Lace a tempting meaty treat with a crushed paracetemol and be sure just that mongrel gets it.

No dog (or owner) should get away with this and especially attacking a dear little child.   😭

Oh yeah,  AND scarred emotionally.

Because YOU say it, therefore it must be true, even though many other people disagree with you, or not.

 

I say that you are talking BS, therefore that must be true also, simply because I said so, or not.

Sure to stir up some lovers of the breed.

But the only good Pitbull is a de*d one.

 

Seen too many similar attacks in my life...

It probably had a bad dream. Dogs do dream. 

But how about the nightmares that poor little girl, (and her relatives) could have for the rest of their lives.         Mmmm.   been there, had that.

A Wai,a promise to keep Tang tied up to prevent further accidents and a promise to pay all medical bills isn't enough.What about the young girl and her possible permanent disfigurations.

Put the dog down.

The story goes that the owner of the dog(s) there were 2 was bedbound. So who fed and watered them? They did not sleep with the bedridden owner.

Yes your'e probably right. I was only quoting Sambum about sleeping same bed as owner.  "Dog kills even its owner in unpredictabe unacceptable behavour" was the theme.   

Again>> One Paractemol works wonders.

Regardless, the whole affair was much argued here and the anti P.B. dog  protesters (OR  mongrel dogs for that matter) won the useless/futile debate re the poor owner who lost his life, and the latest dear 5yo girl could have lost hers like 3+ other dog stories here. Who is next in that soi? same dog? or any soi?         What's it going to take for the pro P.B. owners here to rethink? The death of a dear one?, We wont hear from them again, re their own loss of life.

OK then, it seems like the P.B. breed have a reputation/requirment for needing to be trained NOT to savage pople. 

 

Too bad !!         That dog is deadly.     Paracetemol.

Giant, aged 2, the Pit Bull breed or Ban Dog that savaged its owner to death last week has been taken to his funeral in Pattaya.

He took part in a ceremony called "khor khama" in which he apologized to the corpse.

its the combination of owners that want to look tough with a dog that cant be trusted. A mix for disaster.

When will Thailand start to take street dog problem seriously? When will dogs that attack people just be put down to avoid new accidents? And when will owners of these dogs be responsible for any damage their dogs are doing??

 

When someone "important" gets attacked. Farangs, farmers, ordinary workers and their children aren't really relevant unfortunately. 

 

If the victim was an influential politician's kid, or some Chinese tourist (needs to be on video and go viral) then we would likely see some changes. 

dogs, cars, sexual predators... not a safe place to leave a young child alone
