No, they aren't. They are used to tourists and foreigners. I've actually seen these dogs. Have you? The didn't even move when I went past.

Such ugly attitudes from the foreigners here.

 

So you do have inside knowledge - I was right!

Yes, they are in the same soi as the Sanctuary of Truth. I saw them there many years ago and they are still there. The muzzles are not new at all. Doesn't take much to trigger the miserable wildlife haters.

Read the Update 😊 You should have done that before spouting off.

What update? I see no update?

 

And I am merely stating my opinion,  which seems to fall in line with the general consensus of opinion on here! (Not "spouting off" which is an uncalled for comment - argumentative at least)

Anyway, if you are so well acquainted with the dogs, maybe you could take the tapes off, or have a word with the culprit/owner as you seem very concerned about their well being?

No one has mentioned that it is cruel to the dogs for another reason,they are not able to defend themselves.

A muzzled dog should never be unsupervised,most muzzles do allow for breathing and drinking water but the dog itself will be in danger of attack by other dogs.

You sound like such as happy person. A joy to be with.

 

My friends and Thai wife think so - how about you? Do you have a wife and friends, or are they all the 4 legged variety? 🙂

".........the miserable wildlife haters."

 

I don't hate wildlife, but wildlife belongs in the wild - not on the streets!

Believe it or not, we encroach on their space. I don't have a problem with them. Just seems some foreigners don't really fit here.

You can assume whatever you like. It doesn't have any effect on reality. I might assume that your relationship is based solely on financial support. May be true, maybe not. Who cares? Not my life, not my problem.

Yes, I agree - we do encroach on their space, but it's a long time since "family friendly Pattaya" could be described as wildlife habitat - but there again, ?????????????

So every time we decide to build something and encroach on their space they become a pest according to some.

I prefer to live in harmony.

so you say it's fine to have dogs on the streets.  what an illogical thought that really is.

They bite kids, chase bikes, carry diseases,  crap everywhere ..........   but you say it's ok. 

 

but you won't take them in ....       what strange thinking you have

 

I'll bet you were a backpacker from Khaosan rd once .....

Soi dogs are a pest time to eradicate the problem full stop.

[Gknrd]

As a dog lover this shows the Thai mentality. Anyone traveling in Thailand knows the millions of starving and dying dogs. It is frankly horrible. Thai's are the worst, period.

 

The finest example of a country that loves its pets is Colombia. no dogs roaming the streets. And it is amazing how friendly they are. The  people treat them as part of the family and you can tell. The dogs are well adjusted and extremely happy. 

 

Thailand and SE Asia is the armpit of the world IMHO.

Amazing to see the quality of the people that come here and think they are smarter and more important. Impotent more like. No one cares what they think, so they rant and rave on a forum.

So are sex tourists. They spread disease and affect the moral fibre of the country and it's people. Time to eradicate the problem?

 

Oops, Large member alert. 

[Spock]

Society has the responsibility to do the right thing by these dogs. They did not ask to be born into this world, and many are there because of Thailand's refusal to sterilise the animals so they can't breed compounds the problem. If Thais didn't have the attitude that puppies are cute, then throw the dogs out of the house and onto the street when fully grown, these packs of dogs wouldn't exist. Same applies to cats.

 

People who feed the dogs probably have a good relationship with the animals because they are recognised as kind. Conversely, children who throw stones at them are recognised as dangerous. I have known dogs in Cambodia to be aggressive to locals but friendly to foreigners. They recognise kindness and those most likely to display that quality. What goes around comes around.

 

I am angered by the callous attitude of expats here, the labelling of the dogs as vermin and the desire to poison the animals and subject them to a painful death. 

 

Thais don't even seem to have the sense to humanely remove the more dangerous among the dogs. An American bully or pit bull dog kills a person and the dog is allowed to be adopted by yet another irresponsible individual rather than being put down. A Thai dog owner I know  was bitten in the face and badly injured by one of his dogs. The dog was taken to the local wat where its aggressive nature would find another outlet among people and animals unaware of the dangers it posed. Rather than deal with a problem it's easier to pass it on to someone else.

 

A neutering program would ensure that the current dog packs dwindle in size over time. Rather than support a responsible plan and actions for a better future, the problem is allowed to fester and grow. 

 

I am sure that I would also be one of those feeding the dogs too rather than offering them poison food. It's interesting that no one advocating the killing of these soi dogs suggested a humane method of disposing of them nor advocated for the reduction of numbers through preventing births.
