That's fairly normal behaviour from the owners here in Thailand !!!

No such thing as a bad dog breed.

Only bad owners.

This is such a load of <deleted>e it's incomprehensible someone would utter it in any sense of seriousness. I hope you are being facetious.

Pitbulls are responsible for 60% - 70% of all fatal dog attacks. This means of course, that every other breed of dog combined make up 30% or less of all fatal dog attacks. 

 

Bad owners? I don't think so.

In the weeks leading up to the fatal attack, Poikae had bitten three other people, including two elderly male relatives and Ms. Kiatkanok's 17-year-old daughter, who had been receiving medical treatment for her injuries daily.

 

And the dog is still alive?  There's something wrong with this country.

In the States, Pit Bulls are just status symbols for low IQ ghetto-dwellers.

And red hat illiterates. Don't be racist.

In Thailand it is actually not easy to find a vet to euthanize a sick pet. Not all vets perform this service. I think a court would have to order the euthanization for it to happen promptly.

Out here in the country there would be plenty of volunteers. He would end up the snack course with the afternoon lao khao.

Strange that all bad owners own this type of dog.

 

 

The owners are not all bad, often well meaning, just not very smart

Saw a silly girl on a bus today with a puppy.

Of course a cute and lovely "pittie". 

It will probably tear her face off someday

 

Some people have to learn things the hard way.

Owner should be charged with manslaughter and jailed for a suitable period as a warning to other idiotic owners of this breed.

And other idiots that feed stray dogs...got a real problem, can't walk anywhere because of them

it is difficult to exercise one pet dog in Thailand  due to attacks from other dogs. 

Why anyone should keep six dogs confined on their property shows a lack of care for the dogs and disreguard for neibours. 

This dog should be destroyed.

The owner heavily fined and ordered to pay compensation  and banned from owning other dogs. 

As an unfit owner and she should also have the other dogs removed from her care. 

It's also hard for Thai dog owners to exercise their dogs because that would mean the Thai owner to do some actual exercise and actually walk a bit.  Under no circumstances will the majority of Thais do anything that involves walking.

Nice sweeping generalisation. I don't know if you noticed but Thailand is pretty damn hot during the day.

Where I live between 5 - 8pm you see dozens of Thais out walking their dogs and - shock horror - even cleaning up after them.

Not the old it's too hot chestnut. Whenever a foreigner defends Thais lack of exercise it means the foreigner is also lacking in the exercise and walking department and are trying to justify their own laziness.

Did you miss the second half of my past where I said I see dozens of Thais out walking their dogs after 5pm? It's too hot in the middle of the day for dogs (and humans) but in the evening everyone is out, walking dogs, jogging, exercising.

But yeah, just ignore that part of my post so you can call Thais lazy, good for you.

Today's BP reports of a man bitten to death in his home by 2 stray dogs, a half-bred pitbull  and a half-bred rottweiler.

He was old, anyway (49 y.o.).

The dogs were taken in by the livestock office. I would like to know what they feed them.

 

Obviously,  these cute and cuddly dogs became ferocious animals because they were half-breds.

And, as many posters have said, there are  no bad dogs, only bad owners.

So, let's find the owners of the stray dogs.

Yes i read it and I've never seen this happen.  So, you can just say that and have no proof whatsoever, just to back up your claim.   I can guarantee most people who have lived in Thailand will agree with me and say  MOST (NOT ALL OF THEM!!)Thais don't walk and in actual fact I've spoken to many Thais about this and they admit they don't like walking and have never mentioned it's because of the weather.  They just don't want to walk anywhere.  You sound like a Piers Morgan type who just wants to argue for the sake of arguing.  You could start an argument in a phone box.  If someone said the sky was blue you'd probably argue with them.

Also I didn't called Thais lazy.  I said they lacked exercise but I DID insinuate you was lazy😉

Another article in the BP today reviews several of the latest killings by these dogs (trigger warning: not nice to read that stuff).

They say these dogs are getting more and more popular here, and expect more killings. 

They then state that these are (quote) "family-friendly" dogs, who love to "play" and "exercise".

The owners are to blame. They shouldn't keep the dogs in a cage or restrict them. 

 

It seems they suggest letting these dogs freely roam the neighborhood. 

Just carry your Uzi.

Because you don’t read other countries news? “Bull” breeds kill people frequently in US. Seems like a couple times a month 

 

At least the stupid people who cause the maulings are occasionally held to account. 
The dogs are innocent livestock. Only acting on their instincts or training. People must be held liable for the actions of their “ pets”.

Yes I know of that case.  And another in NY I think. But, the US is huge compared to Thailand and I have read two such cases in the last couple of weeks.
