Roaming dog pack

[seajae]

My wife is totally devastated, we buried our cat yesterday, he was killed by a pack of dogs from the factory 100 metres away,(the other side of a rubber tree & palm oil area), no fencing and the dogs just roam where they want to. To say I was incensed would be an under statement, I wanted to kill all of the dogs involved, the fact Thailand has no laws about these dog packs roaming free sucks big time plus the fact thais dont care what they do  is pathetic. I have 4 dogs and they stay in our yard(1 rai) unless they are on theirn leash but too many thais just let their dogs run free because they dont want to have to clean up after them or in many cases feed them, one of our dogs was a puppy from the factory that wandered over to our house a few years ago, she is that friendly it isnt funny and used to play with the cat, they would even sleep together. Unfortunatey the majority of thais dont have any regard for pets/animals, they dont feed them regularly, dont bath them or take care of them, they just let them wander and do as they please, the anger I feel at what these dogs have done due to how the factory owners lack of responsibility is immense, I have never seen my wife so upset and I am fighting the urge to remove the dogs permanently. 

I realize this is just a rant but the devastation my sife is suffering is making it very hard for me to think rationally.

sad story...

 

even sadder  when it is some little kid or grandma that gets attacked...happens often in thailand, usa and many other countries especially when dangerous breeds are tied up but seem to manage to break free and maul people because owner is a total dick with a brain the size of a grain of rice and no regard for human life.

 

seems to be little or no repercussions to owners so they do not care.

Every time I bring a cat to my house it is killed, either by dogs or disturbed locals who poison them. You and I both love animals, so we aren't going to hurt another even though the dogs killed our cats, because it isn't in us, even though I'm a hunter.

 

Domestic animals can go wild when people let them loose after they are kittens and puppies, and they have to fend for themselves and eat. An animal that is raised around other animals of different species usually will not hurt them, as they only know love and play, especially if it comes from their owners. In this country, 

 

Little is done on a grand scale, meaning spay and neuter, which should be funded by the government but usually comes from donations, and with the amount of animals born ere, it's hard for them to keep up if not impossible. 

 

In a developing country, many things are adopted. To make money, provide entertainment and to help others.and then that provide entertainment. Some things have priority over others. Look at how children are cared for, with students riding on the tops of buses, to how they are taught in most schools, to how they are left with grandparents to be raised, to how they are allowed to drive scooters starting at age 8. The level of care here pales by comparison to the west. It will eventually get better when old school thinking is driven out and things are adopted that help others instead of scamming them for profit. This means enforcement of laws and extreme punishment for those who intentionally hurt others and use them for profit, such as human trafficking.

 

The only thing you can do here to protect your pets is keep them inside, and allowing them to go out only to do their business and play with you monitoring it, then bringing them back inside. Roaming dogs will continue here for decades to come, as well as the deaths daily on roads.

The practice I'm our Mubaan is a dog must have an owner.... Ostensibly to have someone to take responsibility....

If they don't, the dog killers can & will be called out if the dogs do/cause harm/menace to people or property....You might want to contact the village head & demand the dogs' removal.... Possibly sue the owners, if any......

In the Thai view, whoever feeds them, owns them.....

Maybe revenge is required
