Regardless of the circumstances, if the dogs badly maul or kill a person, they need to be immediately put to death, no excuses.

 

And I would go so far as fine the owners of the dog minimum of 1 million baht. 

There is no such thing as a bad dog 

Only bad owners.

so the scale of idiocy here is if it’s a dog that mauls someone to death and if it hadn’t been trained, the only punishment for the owner and or the animal is to get the dog trained

No, that is not the only punishment, the owners could be prosecuted.

So, when will Thailand start to take these dog issues seriously?? Ban certain dogs and always keep the owners of dogs responsible for their dogs actions! Start to put down all the damn street dogs that is hurting and maiming people every day around the country! At times you might not get out in one piece if you by accident turn into the wrong soi!!

I suspect, certainly in the West, that there is a duty of care. This doesn't mean there has to be specific legislation in place for a myriad of dangers that might present themselves to the general public.

 

If it could be shown in someway the dogs presented a possible danger then the owners would have a duty of care to warn people, secure the dogs etc....as in the case of say guard dogs.

 

 

 

Sadly this is the mentality of dog attacks in thailand..nobody in power has the balls to change this slaughter..

As per the Dog Act 1976 (WA) Local Laws Relating to Dogs, please see attached list of dog offences and the penalty

 

Bully Dogs: American Bullies are a newer breed that was developed in the United States in the 1990s. They are a mix of several different breeds, including Pitbulls, American Staffordshire Terriers, and English Bull Terriers. Pitbulls, on the other hand, are an older breed that was originally bred in England in the 1800s

 

Yeah, no red flags with that breeding.

I'll be honest. Thailand had some of THE absolute worst dogs I have ever run across. The owners were not much better 555.

Just walking a street is a potential death trap or dog maul incident waiting to happen. For the most part filthy animals with no one looking after them. Judging by owners and the neighbors I was not surprised by how vicious they wanted their animals to be. Owners encouraged the doggoes to harrass passerbys and delivery people, etc.

It is Thai people not the dogs.

Why, they didn’t do anything. 
Old Grandpa opened the gate. 
And how would that actually help anyone? 

Apart from give a few Karens some weird kind of satisfaction.
 

Luckily the Thais are a lot more sensible than some of the posters here and the victims funeral is being taken care of etc.

Wow....the owner said he might  have opened the gate, which might have just been an excuse. You do not know much about the situation in Thailand concerning all the street dogs, it seems. Help anyone?? They will do it again if they get the chance, damn it! Are you drunk??

I wouldn't hold your breath. Just stick to more developed areas and you'll be fine. Avoid Issan area (Khon Kaen is Issan) and you won't have problems in general. Bangkok has very little dog population issues.

Don't forget these are people who drive down wrong side of roads willy nilly, park on streets creating a funnel at the worst possible road points, live in what would generously be called a stick shack, create problems for the sole purpose of creating a toxic environment for monetary or just ill intent, hunt and eat street frogs and insects, consume meth pills combined with caffeine because it make work better 555 (Ya Ba), listen to horrendous music concerts then wait for police to leave to assault one another over losing face or what have you. And these are the endearing aspect of these folks.

Rule for Thailand: if it moves, F*s, or has a tabien baan Rent, never buy 5555

Sabai dee Mai?

Cant believe  that two people even agreed with that reply. 99% of the  time there is negative behaviour by dogs it is the owners or the person's being attacked  fault. Steve100 has no idea what lead  to the attack yet proposes poisoning the dogs. 

Regardless of the why, if the dogs are a threat to safety, they are toast. I would not risk all of the little children and old folks in my village for a psycho dog.

That is true most of the time, but is no excuse for not putting the dogs down to avoid another incident. I guess banning the owner from ever keeping a dog again is not easy in a "wildlings" country like Thailand, but it works in other countries.

brain dead people running the country...3 dogs killed a human, they should be put down on the spot and the owner should pay millions... old man or not

 

there is a house in my moo baan, chinese renters, lock up a german sheperd 23 hours in a cage so small he cannot do anything but lay down, super aggressive when he is out of the cage, could easy jump the sense and barking at anything passing

 

if I lived near , I would bring him surprise chicken

 

and also for the dog

Did he?

Why is it not mentioned in the story?

Would you care to share the source of your information, as it seems the rest of us are not privy to it?

 

 

 

There's no excuses for the owners of these type of dogs when this kind of tragedy happens. It's impossible to forecast for what, where or when these animals turn. The owners must take full responsibility for whatever happens. No excuses, get rid or take the rap.

He also forgets that, most Thai's will go straight into Lie mode, when confronted about a possible wrong doing.

Khon Kaen is highly developed and Isan is a region of Thailand of which KK is just a part.

If the dogs a roaming the streets freely, that's the fault of the owner not the dog's ,

a complaint would need to first be made to the village headman, and if no remediating action is taken to the next step higher, the solution you propose should  be used only as a last resort. and only if nessacery.   

 

Excellent, I will recall this valuable information when my throat is being gently caressed by a pack of rabid attack dogs.
