It already is illegal to import them.

Then that is sad, so like everything there isn't any enforcement and someone is turning a blind eye to them. If they are already illegal they are here when something like this happens the talk isn't to fine or jail the owner who to find out how they obtained the animal and track it back to the problem the solution is what we been reading is as if slap of the wrist is going to do it! 

I've read stories like this one he had a fence, went to work, I didn't think or never seen him aggressive if illegal why give them back to these criminals who have illegal dogs!

Who in their right mind would have a pit bull terrier as a pet? There's only one way to fix a pit bull and that's a lead weight in the left ear. It should be illegal to own a pit bull as it is in othe

If the photo is from the incident then he was not recently bitten, especially by a pit bull.

In related news, a pit bull was found abandoned in the heart of Hat Yai, dehydrated, weak, and unable to move. Rescuers discovered it infested with ticks and emaciated. Fortunately, a kind-hearted individual has already come forward to offer the dog a new home.

Expand  

 

Every couple of weeks,....  

 

But people get bitten by dogs here daily... but Pit Bulls do attract the attention and thus attract more media comments etc its about views and a Golden Retriever biting an adult on the leg doesn't attract a great deal of media attention... 

 

... that said, a Golden Retriever mauling its owner would, but... that doesn't happen, its the Pitties, bull terriers and cross breeds that do this and hence the media 'contagion effect' - where once a story becomes common enough similar stories draw more attention... 

 

And yes, I agree...   within weeks will be another story of a 'dangerous' breed of dog of the Bull Terrier family will have chewed someone to death....

Pit bulls are not illegal in Thailand, importing them is banned, owning them or breeding them isn't.

We have two in the village next to us.........same owner, same house.....no collars, house has no aircon, both free to roam.......they will kill someone one day.........but better to allow a child to be mauled to death than someone does or says anything.

While that works with a lot of other dogs, whacking a Pitbull with a stick will probably make him even more aggressive 

Expand  

I wouldn't whack one on the head; I'd try to shove the stick down it's throat or poke it in it's eye. That might have the desired effect.

Is it legal to carry a machete in Thailand? That'd work too.

Pitbull bites someone and its newsworthy, people are getting bitten by soi dogs every hour of every day, people chased down and forced to fall off motorcycles, dogs running into traffic and getting hit by cars causing damage.

Wow!.....I don't want anymore mental dogs upcountry.....there is no shortage of them as it is.

Point taken, sorry for that. Suggest upcountry though as they turn literally anything moving into meat balls and other delicacies - apparently.

Thais never complain but If it was a foreigner who owned the dogs they would. funny how they don't like confrontation but don't mind it if it's with a falang.  Although surely someone could report it anonymously

The only 'authority' who might at least listen is the village head......and to be honest nothing good would ever come of making a complaint.

So, you mentioned that no-one does or says anything but then you're saying there's no point. Make ya mind up.  How would you know no good would come of it?  If no-one ever does make a complaint.

That depends on your definition of "bad dog breed."    Pit bull is an umbrella term for dogs originally bred for fighting.  Old English bulldogs, which had been bred for bull- and bear-baiting,  were crossed with terriers to create an agile fighting dog.  Natural aggression and a vicious attack were prime characteristics of the bred.

 

In today's world, there's no legitimate purpose for  fighting dogs.  Hence  pit bulls could be considered a bad bred.  They are kept as househod pets, but aren't suited for that role.

Get a stick and whack the dog to send it on it's way.  When the owner returns from work corner him and tell him his dog is biting people and needs to be either put down or locked at home. 

Then see what he says and does .....

Not pit bulls. It can make them angrier.

Pit bull fanciers are a cult in the US

When I was a kid you hardly saw one outside a junkyard

I saw one Im sure before I was 20

Chained in a neighbors backyard, I was told by the father to NEVER go back there

Now take a walk half the dogs are pitbulls. The shelters are full of them not surprisingly alot of well meaning upper middle class people and women keep them although they kill people all the time often their own owners or children

 

A cult. And like MAGA, no way to penetrate the ignorance of these people.

Not the old "i know more than you cuz I've lived here for 30 years" chestnut🥱 Funny really how some of the people who have lived here 30 years actually know less than people who have just been here for 2 weeks.
