They need to be banned and put down, you cannot train aggression out of them, and they are all a threat to life

Bit of a harsh assessment of the orange robed fraternity….

Monk with a car is nothing. I remember reading about a monk that has a private JET.

 

I suspect things like that get put on the temple accounts so the abbot theoretically doesn't 'own' them.

Not first nor last occurrence. Happens all the time, chemical castration of all the soi dogs. Pit bulls are dangerous and should be controlled who can have them or not. A license should be required for such dogs

With the abbot now gone, the future of Jord hangs in the balance

Where did the abbot go? 🤔

I have met quite a number of attempted dog attacks in the past.

Even in the temple yard.

That is why I always carry this with me when I am out and about...

Oh, this topic again.

Well, let me look, so I can copy and paste the response...

Hope the put down the dog.

 

More than likely some food will be thrown on the road for the beast to lap up.

Why is a monk in possession of a car? Does not seem to accord with the vow of poverty. 
 

Pit bulls and similar breeds are inherently bred for aggression and territorial defence, and need to be properly trained and controlled, or preferably not bred at all.

 

Unlike GSDs, terriers, labradors, retrievers and Malinois, they serve no useful purpose. Thailand has too many stray and uncontrolled dogs already without allowing these vanity breeds. Time to ban them as so many other countries have already done.

Always thought that pitbulls were a banned breed in Thailand. Maybe this dog was trained to protect the deceased s valuables.

Pit bulls need to be walked extensively, 3 times a day. Very few people, in Thailand or in any other country, are ready and willing to do this.  The raising of pit bulls should therefore be banned world-wide, and the breed allowed to die out. 

Aren’t they already a banned breed in Thailand? Any Thai police on this thread?

All pit-bulls should be eradicated. I hate those pitbulls. Normally, people use them as bodyguards, not like normal pets.

I live in Thailand and have had pit bulls for 15 years , first two killed by cobra snakes, now have two , fantastic dogs, very friendly, great with people, even all our builders workers like them and are not afraid. 
it is purely how you raise them and how much exercise they get-and interaction with people! I don’t “ use” them as bodyguards, and to say all should be eradicated, just shows your ignorance!

It IS the dogs fault, Pitbulls are no more suitable as pets then an alligator, they are DANGEROUS ANIMALS

 No, as a pit bull owner for 15 years, I totally disagree, all of my dogs would lick you , not bite you, that poor monk was just given a problem dog, and he had no idea what to do! Sad but that’s the truth! 
people kill 25000 people here with cars, trucks and bikes, want to ban all of that too?

That the dog breed need to be banned, there is no doubt about.

What I react to, is posters here who post like below:

 

 

That just reeks of poor knowledge. There is nothing unusual with monks that owns cars. They are everywhere. If the Thais not question their spiritual leaders regarding that, who are we to do it?

Exactly..  Farlangs have this fantasy where all monks live in caves, starving to death, contemplating their navel.  I'm saying if the local population who regularly visit these monks at their temples, have no objection with monks owning computers, cell phones, cars, then who are we to complain and tell them how their monks should behave.

Smew said in part:-   chemical castration of all the soi dogs.

Jing joe says:- surgical castration somewhere near their collar.

What ! only 3 pages so far about yet another tragedy?

  Must be getting used to the sad events, and nothing is being done, and all the lament in these posts doesnt mean a thing.

And there are still those who insist they MUST be trained properly. (or they'll naturallly default to become killers).
