The Rottweiler is not by itself aggressive. Cannot say the same of Pitbulls never met a good one. What Thailand needs is Dog control and Dog registration to control what is a huge problem.

False, Google and you will find the Rottweiler on all the aggressive breed lists.  They require training and conditioning as a puppy onwards but still can be aggressive to others.

Where are all the posters saying Pitbulls are not aggressive or dangerous?

 

Why are you guys hiding now?  How many more people have to be mauled and die before

someone wakes up and makes the changes necessary for the sake of public safety?

 

Goes to show that in Thailand your life is Not valued the same as in other countries.

sure and after " the dogs removal operation" Thailand will become prosperous and truly well developed country..

 

generally speaking TH is the third world country and that is one of the reason why nobody cares about stray and feral mutts.

But but what would happen to all those living off the dog charity money............and the falang volunteers ?..............................

Soooo many deaths over the years just on this website.

Typically:-

Another death.

Another dog.

Another owner.

Who is next?

Yet another 6 pages coming up here.

Futile to hopefully "watch this space", there's no action.

"How many people will have to die before ...?  etc"  

"When will they ever learn?"

Sounds like inconclusive, circumstantial evidence to me. If the dogs are strays, I recommend the authorities find them homes.

too difficult to remove all stray dogs from the streets, huh...  sell them to vietnam...

, local livestock officers sedated both animals and measured their teeth, which matched the size of the bite wounds on the victim

I would think any dog of a similar size would have a bite size the same .

Unless they took casts of the dogs teeth to use in comparison of the bites then it could have been any medium size dog.

Also livestock officers would suggest to me they are people dealing with cows and pigs for a living and not a vet treating dogs & cats.

Put the dog down and do it within the next 24 hours and find the owner a million baht if he is not having a money to pay confiscate his house and sell the proceeds to a dog-related charity. 

 

I do not want a lecture about animal cruelty. . Most soi dogs are a nuisance. Most are mangy, some are disease ridden, many are hungry, tired, and lead terrible lives of desperation. Some attack people, some terrorize neighborhoods. Many harass the domestic dogs, and cause them to bark all night long, like in my neighborhood. Nobody wants to do anything about it. Massive culling is the answer. If they found a budget for it, they could do it Western style. Round up the dogs, clean them up, vaccinate them, and put them up for adoption. The ones who are not adopted after 60 days are simply put down. Nothing cruel about it. Not doing something like this, is both cruel to the dogs and to the neighborhoods they infest.

 

The average dog bite cost alot money. A series of rabies shots, etc. And that is assuming someone was not hurt badly, like a small child. So, we should prioritize the health of mangy, miserable soi dogs over the well being of the human population?

 

 

 

I agree with you (except for the mass culling part) I've dealt with quite a few vicious dogs who were obviously not even close to a "bully" breed. Dogs will be aggressive when they're in pain or sick, or if they've been mistreated (which most have). Even nice dogs can become vicious if in a pack (pack mentality).
All strays should be rounded up and as many adopted out as possible. I'm also in favor of BE (behavior euthanasia), but the biggest factor to add would be mass sterilizations! There are many groups, including Soi Dog, that provide this service for FREE! I've helped with these efforts, and it is surprising to see how many locals AND foreigners were anti sterilization! WHAT?

Some thought it would kill the dog, and some just didn't believe in it for some weird, vague reasoning. It would be nice if the govt could form groups in every province to do this, and provide education to locals on how to properly care for a dog. Many Thais still see pets as livestock, while they should be treated like family members.

Sterilization and education is the only way.

Sounds like a good topic for a new post/thread.

 

"National campaign to teach the people how to handle:

• dogs
• cats
• children with cell phones
• unhealthy diet for kids
• "thou shall not fail at exam" dogma
• "but she has a family to support" excuse
• absence of basic hygiene at any diner/street vendor/food court
• uncontrolled disposal of hardcore antibiotics at pharmacies

and that just first things came to mind. 

^^^ these are the results of being 3rd world country. Not backward. More to add.

 

PS: at microbiology class professor asked college grads "what is isomer?". Master's program. Poker faces.

Well,are you going to tell us?

I repeat. this is a highly unlikely story. The deceased was killed in his home. The police, whom I suspect know more about this sad event than they are admitting to. went out and found two dogs on the street and announced that they were the killers. Highly unlikely. or to put it more accurately. total BS.
