Residents of Nong Prue subdistrict in Bang Lamung, Chonburi, are living in fear after two pit bulls belonging to a British expatriate fatally attacked a local resident’s dog. The incident has sparked widespread concern, as the dogs remain at the owner’s home nearly a week after the attack, with no resolution in sight.

 

The ongoing issue has been the subject of tense negotiations. Police at Nong Prue Police Station invited both parties for mediation, the British dog owner, who has not been named and Ms. Alisha, 20, whose pet was killed in the attack. The discussion, also attended by representatives from the provincial justice department and the Nong Prue Municipality, lasted several hours but ended without an agreement.

 

Ms. Alisha has insisted on pressing criminal charges against the dog owner under relevant Thai animal control laws and is preparing to file a civil lawsuit at the Pattaya Provincial Court to seek compensation for her loss.

 

Meanwhile, the British national has requested a postponement of any immediate action regarding the removal of his dogs, asking to keep the animals at his residence until the end of the month while he arranges for a friend to adopt them.

 

Local residents remain deeply concerned for their safety. With the dogs still housed in the community, many fear a repeat of the fatal incident. Calls are growing louder for local authorities to expedite the relocation of the animals to prevent further harm.

A few questions: where did this attack take place? Was her dog on her property and if not was it under control (we all know the answer to that).  If the pitbulls were loose and not properly secured then they should be put down with no questions asked! Owners have duty of responsibility. So both could well be to blame and both should pay the price! Could have been a child!!!
