An incident in Songkhla Province, has sparked outrage after a man allegedly beat his neighbour's Siberian Husky to death and disposed of its body in the sea. The altercation stemmed from the dog allegedly attacking and killing three chickens.

 

The dog's owner, Mr. Rachan 24, filed a complaint at Singhanakhon Police Station on December 3, supported by CCTV footage that captured the horrific act. According to Mr. Rachan, his 3-year-old female Husky, "Lucky," went missing on the evening of November 25. After searching extensively, he was informed that the dog had been killed on the road and its body discarded in the sea.

 

CCTV evidence revealed that the perpetrator was his neighbour. Mr. Rachan stated he had never been approached about any issue involving his dog and vowed to pursue legal action to the fullest extent.

 

Later, The Hope Foundation of Songkhla visited the suspect, Mr. Boonlert 57, at his residence near the scene. Mr. Boonlert admitted to killing the dog, claiming that it had chased and killed three of his chickens. Frustrated by the owner's lack of action, he confessed to repeatedly hitting the dog with a stick in a fit of anger and later throwing its body by the sea.

 

Police have taken statements from Mr. Rachan and are collecting evidence to build the case. The accused is expected to face charges in court on 6 December.

 

This tragic event has ignited strong reactions from animal rights groups and the community, calling for justice for Lucky and stricter enforcement of animal cruelty laws.

Irresponsible dog owner and somebody with anger management problems, what could possibly go wrong. Feel sorry for the dog and chickens.

[MartinL]

I saw this on TV this morning. The chicken owner seemed to be living in a shack on a riverbank with chickens running free all over the place, an open invitation to a dog whose nature is to chase. If the welfare and safety of his chickens is so important, maybe he should think about enclosing them in future. The dog should also have been confined, of course.

 

I'd fear for my life if I was the driver of a car that ran over some of his birds.

Dangerous dogs need to be confined by their owners. Once a dog starts killing chickens it usually returns until it's killed them all.

 

Most poor Thais can't afford a 5ft high chainlink fence with a concrete base ( else dog digs under) to surround their property.

Thai man kills neighbour’s dog for alleged chicken attack

The owner of a light brown Siberian Husky in the southern province of Songkhla is seeking justice after the dog was beaten to death by a neighbour, who claimed it attacked his chickens.

 

Rachan, the owner of the female Siberian Husky named Lucky shared the tragic story on social media, along with a video of the violent attack captured on CCTV. The footage reportedly showed that Lucky did not approach the chickens as she was accused.

 

In the video, the neighbour, later identified as Boonlert, is seen repeatedly beating Lucky with a wooden stick. The dog did not resist and lay motionless on the road. Boonlert briefly left the scene but returned with a larger stick and struck Lucky more than 20 times before dragging the dog’s body away.

 

Rachan was later seen leaving his house in the rain to search for his dog. Despite noticing a pool of blood on the road, he did not initially suspect anything tragic. It was only after learning from locals that someone killed his dog and reviewing the CCTV footage.

 

In an interview with Channel 7, Rachan revealed that he adopted Lucky, previously named Whisky, from its former owner three months earlier. The previous owner could no longer care for the dog due to personal reasons.

 

 

Rachan renamed the dog Lucky, hoping it would bring better fortune. Tragically, the dog’s fate was far from fortunate.

 

Permission to kill claimed

 

On the day of the incident, Lucky chewed through a nylon rope Rachan used to secure her and wandered into the neighbourhood. The dog went outside Boonlert’s home and was later killed as seen in the video.

 

Channel 7 reporters also interviewed Boonlert, who admitted to the attack. He claimed that the dog attacked his chickens multiple times, killing three of them on the day of the incident.

 

Boonlert further alleged that Rachan’s sister permitted him to beat the dog. However, Rachan and his family firmly denied this, leading Boonlert to abruptly end the interview and retreat into his home.

 

Rachan insisted that this was the first time that Lucky escaped from home, so it was impossible that Lucky would attack Boonlert’s chickens three times as he claimed.

 

The owner added that he still could not find the body of Lucky and believed that Boonlert already abandoned it in the sea.

 

Rachan filed a complaint against Boonlert at Singha Nakhon Police Station. Boonlert is initially facing two charges, including:

• Section 20 and Section 31 of the Animal Protection Act: cruelty of an animal. The penalty is imprisonment of up to two years, a fine of up to 40,000 baht, or both.
• Section 358 of the Criminal Law: damaging property of another person. The penalty is six months to 10 years in prison and a fine of between 10,000 and 200,000 baht.

That is no "man" from what I see, but an animal himself!

After watching that video, any kind of judge would give the max on all charges.

that was not on his land.. It was on the street as seen in vdo.. otherwise maybe no vdo would be seen..

[jippytum]

The dog ownetr should have kept the dog under control.  The dog was obviously allowed to roam freely. 

If the dog did in fact kill the chickens i can understand the anger of their owner. 

 The irresponsible dog owner should be punished also.

Charge the dog owner for not keeping his dog under control. What if the dog had attacked a child? Sorry for the dog doing what comes naturally unless trained and controlled. One of the problems in my opinion, is that many dog owners treat their dogs like human beings and allow them to do as they please. I blame bad dog owners. 

[ronster]

Vile <deleted> !!!

Why did he not just ask the owner to pay for the loss of chickens instead of beating the dog to death 😡

[WDSmart]

Lock him up!

Yet another Thai law thats never used, cruelty to animals is evident throughout the country...Dog not wanted,   just throw it into the temple car park

A disgraceful overreaction. Were the chickens in a coup? NO but the dog owner also has some culpability. 6 months in jail for the killer and a warning for the dog owner.

Sorry, I didn't know chickens were pets. They are usually kept for eggs and to be killed and eaten—false equivalency.

It's a f-ing dog, off lead, out of owners home. and it killed someone's chickens.

could have been someone's child. 

I have personally seen Thais going after dogs that kill chickens. it's normal here.

Both parties should compensate each other, conflict closed.

And I feel sorry for the falangs on here, that live in some bubble of there own county

I kept 4 chickens as pets in the UK, a dog broke into my garden 4x and killed one each time.

After each kill the owner was asked to keep his dog on a lead, and he didn't.

My children were devastated by their pets being killed.

My son used to walk around the garden with one under his arm.

Great pets, very friendly, would sit with us when we were in the garden.

 

The last one was killed on our doorstep, desperately trying to get us to save her, we were out at the time.

Lazy dog owner who can't be bothered to manage his pet and a shirtless peasant too stupid to make an enclosure for his chickens. Pathetic scene all around.
