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.

A common problem which there has been a face book page dedicated to, thailand dog attacks, which is very gruesome indeed...you would think the government would make this a priority to solve this problem and enter the civilised world of travel destinations..

The Thai Govt is a big part of the problem, they have made laws that prevent you from defending yourself against an attacking animal under the guise of animal cruelty.

In the coastal district of Bang Saphan, Prachuap Khiri Khan, tensions have risen as the local authorities prepare to tackle a persistent public safety issue. A Swiss national, known locally as Matthias, is facing possible visa revocation following multiple incidents where his dog attacked tourists on the beach.

 

On March 8, district chief Suthin Prasertsak took decisive action, instructing his deputy, Nattapong Krainara, to organise a meeting at the Pong Prasasat subdistrict administrative office.

 

The gathering brought together various stakeholders, including Police Lieutenant Colonel Worapong Chaophae and public health officers, alongside affected residents and tourists.

 

Central to this unfolding drama is Rolf Weber, a Swiss tourist and a recent victim of Matthias's unruly dog. Twice bitten while enjoying a beach stroll, Weber is not alone, as the dog's aggressive behaviour has affected several others in the idyllic locale.

 

Despite previous interventions and resolutions mandating restrictions on unleashed or uncollared dogs, Matthias has consistently defied these orders. Indeed, the community had previously resolved to temporarily ban such dogs from areas until legal proceedings concluded, but compliance has been lacking.

 

 

With legal proceedings underway, a crucial court session is scheduled for March 11. The police are diligently compiling evidence against Matthias, preparing to summon him for further questioning.

 

Though the incidents are minor offences legally, the repeated nature of the attacks amplifies their gravity, pressing the need for administrative prosecution.

 

In response to growing concerns, local and foreign residents have rallied for a public meeting slated for March 9 at Moo 1’s community hall.

 

This forum aims to openly address the recurring issue, fostering community dialogue and seeking sustainable solutions. The district's deputy insists that investigations will continue, ensuring justice and public safety are upheld.

 

Previously, attempts at mediation with Matthias have repeatedly failed, prompting leaders to push for legal resolutions. To build a compelling case, the district is gathering photographic and video evidence of Matthias’s repeated offences, reported The Thaiger.

These documents will fortify the appeal to the provincial governor and immigration authorities, potentially influencing Matthias’s permission to remain in Thailand.

 

As the community awaits the outcomes of these proceedings, the move underscores the district's commitment to safeguarding its residents and visitors, reflecting broader efforts across Thailand to balance hospitality with stringent public safety laws.

 

The coming days will determine whether the Swiss national can remain in his adopted beachside home, or if his actions will lead to an untimely departure.

We wait with abated breath……….since they at least heard the public’s complaint, they may be willing to do something about the owner and the animals.

For him or the dog? Then again, maybe both!

The Govt is a big part of the problem, they have made it against the law to harm a Soi Dog.  I am a monthly donor to "The Man Who Rescues Dog’s” in SiraCha………so I am not an animal hater.  But if any animal, man or beast wants to harm me, I will react very violently.  When I was Infantry, we even had a course by the US Army Miltary Police that teaches us defense against guard dogs, it never ends up in the dog’s favor, hand to paw or otherwise.

This man is a repeat offender……...
