Swiss Man's Visa at Risk Following Multiple Dog Attacks

The dogs would be put down in any sane society, at best they are stinking pests, these are potential killers

 

The dogs would be assessed to determine if it was the dog or the custodian of the animal. In civilized societies like the UK and much of the USA,  if the assessment showed that the dog  was  ok, there would be an attempt to train and to rehouse.

In this case, I would not be surprised if the dog behavior was encouraged and rewarded by the accused man.

Blaming the dog is a cop out for not holding the man responsible. He is the one who is letting the dog offleash, and he is the one not muzzling the animal when there have been complaints. He is the one who is allegedly intentionally trying to harm people.

Wouldn't it be the job of the police to ensure these orders are followed? Issue fines and collecting them, temporary detention, dispossession of his dogs to a shelter. Why it has become such a drama now. Reaching until immigration is involved....

Hm, Apparently Mathias has a lot of money, and probably buys of the police every time before this.

But the good news is that the judge condemned him to two years in prison. He won two appeals before.

So there is only one left !! Cassation !! That is the latest news I have from there. My wife and I were there less than a week ago. And everybody was talking about this case. It has been going on for years.

  • 3 weeks later...

In my villa developpment in Hin Lek Fai (a well known housing projetc) there is also a chap with a dog that always barks and can jump and nip people passing by.  

 

Yet the falang managers of the developpment do not do a thing. 

 

Same for all the soi dogs that come into the developpment and nothing is done. 

 

Quite a pity considering that they rent the villas at a very high price but nothing done either for the maintenance or to secure the area, despite having security posts all over and very costly monthly common fee.

Swiss again.

Giving all us good farangs a bad name.

 

I thought you were the one who condoned driving after drinking. That doesn't add up to a good foreigner does it? Driving in a vehicle drunk is a lot ore dangerous than a loose dog that of course should be leashed. I've seen a  few Swiss in the news doing stupid things, but it's not the whole population so lumping them doesn't work. The same for the Brits who are often in the news, with many others that never will be. This man should have been warned the first time, with a fine immediate upon any other violations following. If it was a serious attack, the dog's put down. Everyone's out to deport any foreigners that bend the laws here no matter the offense. Punishment should fit the crime, the same as for locals, where this happens daily. 

 

As far as taking out attacking dogs, foreigners should definitely be allowed to own guns here for at least that one reason, along with defense of their lives if accosted. No reason a foreigner living here should not be allowed to own a gun. Especially after more than a few years.  I haven't heard of any crimes involving lawful gun owners here before, so I'm wondering why that law was changed. Thailand has thousands of gun owners, and many illegal guns here, and crimes happen weekly here among locals with guns, so how did the law banning foreigners from owning them help?

Off topic moaning.

 

Start your own thread about how you finally woke up, realised your high-end villa development in Hin Lek Fai was a total rip-off and you moved (back home).

In this, they are appellate courts of the highest instance. In this way, they differ from systems that have a supreme court that can rule on both the facts of a case and the relevant law. The term derives from the Latin cassare, "to reverse or overturn".
