Bangkok's New Pet Rules: Microchips and Space Restrictions for 200,000 Cats and Dogs


Recommended Posts

Posted

Kill anything on sight without a chip would be helpful. Nobody will take any notice as they don't now. Man moved into SIL village with over 30 dogs in a small house, no garden, says its up to him. Sansiri as well who enforces rules, but not for the stinking, yapping 'fur babies', noise is horrendous.

Wondering if my dogs microchip from USA would be sufficient, actually not sure how long they last, its been in there for almost 13 years. He was a rescue dog, so actually he has two chips already.

So try to control the owners of the dogs, but leave the soi dogs roaming around. Makes no sense. Sure owners should have their dogs collared and be responsible for any harm done by them, but the stray dogs get to run around barking, biting and chasing cars and motorbikes. They tried to do the spay and neuter here, but didn’t get all of the dogs and now we have 14 roaming our sou with 3-4 new puppies. They are aggressive and kill neighbors cats and try to attack my dog when I’m walking him. I have to carry a stick and if they get in his face with teeth showing they will get a swift stick to the head. No safety concerns whatsoever for the residents and their pets.

I don't object to the chip policy, but I do object to the classifying of certain breeds of dogs as "prone to aggression." I do support the neutering of strays instead of killing them.

I support microchipping for dogs and cats, to ensure owners can be traced, but cats pose little nuisance to anyone compared to dogs. 
 

It would be better if the feral cat population was controlled to avoid their horrible lifestyles.

cats should be kept on leads, like they have to be in some countries, not allowed to roam at random, defecating and urinating in my garden.

Neuter the bastards then kill them, just to be on the safe side :smile:

Some breeds have been deliberately bred to be aggressive for use as guard dogs, in dog-fighting, to bolster fragile human egos,  etc.

Experiments with foxes have also shown how easy this is to do. 

 

So yes, it's reasonable to classify certain breeds as "prone to aggression". 

 

I disagree...

Disgusting! But it's not surprising because, according to your icon, you are a Trump supporter. :sad:

Why neuter them if they are to be killed?

I have seen how many people treat their dogs in Thailand. Every house around me has a dog or two. It's sad. The dogs are constantly having health problems since the owners only use them for security reason. The health problems are not usually addressed. Most don't deserve to own a dog.

you support neutering soi dogs so they can continue to cr_p everywhere,  chase kids on bikes and bite and attack elderly folks walking in their soi.  ?

 

very strange and sad way of dealing with them,   lacks common sense.   Just get rid of them.  They are disgusting.

Yes, neuter them and then find them homes. Don't release them back in the streets. 

So you think chasing kids on bikes and attacking elderly folks is worse than killing? Your post is disgusting. :sad:

Your dogs with microchips from the US are fine, they all work the same.  

The handheld reader scans the area of chip placement and displays the number.

I'll have to register both numbers, as it got confusing back in the states too. That's how we found it, the vet got different numbers on a few different visits while scanning.

After this, owners with unchipped pets will face penalties under the Public Health Act for any problems or nuisances caused by their animals.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other words, is the pet owner's  responsibility waived even if the animal causes any problem IF the creature is already ID implanted?

Looks like another Just-In-Name Legislation.

 

Their chief aim is undoubtfully the Fee they collect for microchip implant.

Electronic ID  tags under the skin, would not stop dogs from harming people.

 

Untrained and Unleased dogs can pose threat to the passersby any time.

And that is why I always carry a meaning of Instant Punishment.

More hot air from the corrupt. TIT. Nothing will change. If they were serious they should simply neuter the the strays. Dart, neuter, release. This of course would cost money rather than generate it. I know it's not as easy as I say but it would be a start.

Thai bureaucrats always talk about the rules impossible to enforce.

Who will ever check out around whether cats and dogs are wearing microchips under the skin?

Door-to-door search for Cross-referring the property size and numbers of allowed pet?

Sh*t in their skull instead of brain.

Good, but then why only Bangkok? I have never been threatened in Sukhumvit, while I have been chased several times by packs of dogs when cycling in the Isan countryside.
