British-Thai couple ‘paws’ to save puppy from restaurant abuse

[webfact]

A Thai woman and her British husband rescued a puppy after a mentally ill Thai man abused the animal outside his restaurant in the Isaan province of Udon Thani.

 

Officers from Mueang Udon Thani Police Station were alerted to the animal abuse at 11.20am today, July 11. They were called to the incident scene, a restaurant in Soi Adunlayadet 5 in Udon Thani. Police arrived at the scene to find the eatery closed and met the complainants at a nearby restaurant.

 

The complainants were a 36 year old Thai woman Ratchanok Lueangsithong and her British husband, whose name was not disclosed. The foreign man was carrying a light brown puppy aged about two to three months.

 

Ratchanok told police that her restaurant was located near the attacker’s restaurant, so she witnessed the abuse of the man, known as Boy. She saw Boy walking to his restaurant with the animal in his hand. He was carrying it by the neck and strangling it, making the puppy scream in pain.

Ratchanok said she initially thought the puppy was a dead cat. She asked her aunt to check on the animal and found that it was a live puppy.

 

Ratchanok then asked her husband to get the dog from Boy, but he refused to hand it over.

 

“This is my dog. Here is Thailand. I can do anything with this dog. I can even eat it!”

 

Ratchanok argued with Boy and threatened to record a video of the abuse and share it with the police. Her husband then took the puppy away from the scene. Boy returned to his restaurant and was not present when the police arrived.

 

Ratchanok informed ThaiRath that Boy suffers from a mental illness caused by drug use. He had previously gone on a rampage, hurling various objects, such as a flower pot and a brick, at her restaurant. Although she had filed multiple complaints against him before, the police were unable to take action due to his mental condition.

 

Chalida Dhammachaikun, a local who also witnessed the incident, told ThaiRath that she saw Boy press the puppy to the floor, strangle it with a rope, and kick it. She attempted to adopt the dog, but Boy refused.

 

Police are letting Ratchanok and her husband take care of the puppy until its rightful owner claims it. The couple named the animal Lucky, as it was lucky to be saved from the abuse.

I’m thinking Boy is not going to let go of this and this couple need to be on their guard.

Seeing that the Thai police are powerless to intervene due to Boy's "mental condition" I'm wondering if some concrete therapy for Boy might be in order.   Compassionately administered, of course.  

[Asquith Production]

Mental condition but as the capacity to reliaze he as done wrong and hide from Police

I see almost daily abuse of animals here. Yesterday picking my daughter up at her school a boy was kicking a dog I was petting until I told him to stop. This is learned behavior. My own girlfriend's son, who likes cats, always has to pinch them until they squeal. I keep telling him to be nice to the cats but it hasn't yet gone through. I know he likes the cats but this is a controlling behavior, where a child feels the need to overpower a lesser creature because he feels out of control in his life, at least for now. People who intentionally mistreat animals that aren't doing anything wrong will grow up to do this to humans, if they already haven't started. Animals here aren't looked at much  the same way they are back in the US, where they are part of the family and aren't mistreated except by those who are mentally ill, like this one here is doing.

Do you notice that all the drug addicts in Thailand are excused because they are suffering from mental illness  ....

We now have 3 thai dogs we 'rescued'.  The first one we also named Lucky.  

 

My wife always feels bad when she sees these abandoned dogs and wants to save them.  I keep telling her there are millions of them in Thailand and you can't help them all.

He is wrong . Thailand has strict laws against the abuse and torture of animals .

Police did not give a damn as long as there was no money for them ...

 

Big Bravo to the thai-english couple . I would have done the same , except that I would have probably hit the mentally disturbed puppy torturer ...

Some people have no soul , they are just empty shells without any empathy or feelings .

I can feel what is right and what is the wrong thing to do ... I won't hurt any living being , except some people ...

I've had at least 9 dogs "find" a home at my house here in the country. It seems I'm the only one who actually pets them. You can see this in the fear in their eyes when you try to approach them. Eventually they get close if you feed them enough times. Sadly, most of the dogs that have looked at my house as a home away from "home" have been poisoned by some disturbed farmer who didn't like them running around their fields.

[bob smith]

Thais abuse animals on a daily basis, mostly for money.

 

Just look at the way they treat the elephants and tigers...

They poisoned my old dog Floyd as well . just after arriving here in Thailand .

He died in my arms , a horrible painful death ...

After that , we set up our little rescue operation ... and I made it clear here on the island , that if I ever see somebody torturing or poisoning a dog , it will be reported to police .

[renaissanc]

The desire for revenge is common in this country. Soon Boy will probably return with a gun and shoot the couple dead. This story isn't over yet.

let me get this right  !  ..........     so you were going out and feeding about 9 soi dogs outside ....  

and someone poisoned them because they were roaming around running a muck.  

 

if that's correct .... the fact that you were feeding them outside only exacerbates the problem with soi dogs.  They are pests because they bite kids, chase the elderly and attack other family pets.  

 

That's no better than the little old lady who thinks she is doing good by feeding 20 mutts ....    

If you kept the 9 dogs in your yard and cared for them then that's caring correct,  but you are only making the dog problem worse.

Same excuse used throughout Europe by terrorists and their left wing bedwetting apologists … it’s the classic get out of jail card, designed for the gullible and incurious.

Absolutely.

After living on The Isle Formosa, where everyone has Island Fever, I was thinking the same thing.

 

Formosan people NEVER forget a slight such as this.

 

The memory will fester until .....

 

One day....It will OUT!

I always go for a walk every morning and I know all the street dogs well but for a week they have all disappeared, and this happens at least a couple of times a year, so I suppose they are taken to be eaten.

Did I say these were soi dogs? Most of, if not all of them were other's dogs that liked to come to my house because I was nice to them, and gave them a little food. This had them returning. Other dogs in our village were also poisoned, which means this nutcase lives here and doesn't like dogs, and has to kill them to feed his sick control personality. These dogs only go after other dogs when they are trying to mate. I've never seen any here act aggressive against people. Feeding these dogs is a nice thing to do, because sometimes they aren't being fed anywhere else. What is making the dog problem worse here is locals, and their lack of care for dogs after they change from the puppy stage. Neutering and spaying is the only way to reduce the population because not many actually care besides those that are doing the fixing, and those that are feeding the animals that are already here.

This isn't Korea or Vietnam where a lot of them eat domestic animals, but it does happen with some of the old school thinkers. I have lost cats, dogs, ducks and chickens to people who looked at anything roaming as food. There is an attitude here that I come first and no one else matters, as long as I can eat. No conservation as far as fish are concerned, and any animals that are roaming are fair game. This is why you don't see any deer, very few squirrels and nothing else like you do in other countries that have laws that are enforced as far as wildlife are concerned. It does happen in the national parks, although some do poach animals there also.
