Residents are calling for a sustainable solution to control stray dogs at the Eastern National Sports Training Centre in Pattaya. This plea comes after a 10-year-old girl, Kanom Pang, was savagely attacked by a stray dog on Saturday, February 8.

 

Kanom Pang and her father were attending the popular Burapha Bike Week event when she was bitten by a stray dog. The attack occurred as she and her friends rode electric bicycles past a gathering of these animals. The bite on her left leg was severe, necessitating 15 stitches. Some parts of her leg were so damaged they couldn't be stitched.

 

 

Channel 7 revealed that no official body took responsibility for the incident, and the stray dogs remained in the area following the attack. More than 10 strays were spotted around the venue, many sheltering under parked food vendor vehicles.

 

Local vendors reported that residents often feed the strays, yet no one has adopted or claimed ownership of the aggressive dog. Disagreement exists among vendors, with some attributing the increase in dog numbers to the feeding, and calling for authorities to intervene before another attack occurs, as this wasn't an isolated incident.

My wife said Thai’s for the most part treat and manage dogs like Gods!

Rules for people none for dogs.

The next soi over from me has one 

house with 5 dogs outside , constantly fighting and howling, barking ,chasing cars & motorcycles.! What use to be a clean looking residents community 

for people , looks & sounds like a junk yard dog village.

The feeders are a big part of the problem, still, makes them feel good

In my area. some feeders are doing penance for merit, to alleviate bad luck as suggested by the monks at the nearby Wat.  They set off the dogs in my neighbour's place when they wander about....

Fortunately they seem to let bikes go by, well I have been okay on my motorcycle.
