How do you control or get rid of dog packs.

[Donald Bright]

I live in a village where everyone knows everyone, almost.   One of my next door neighbour's is an elderly widow who is disliked by all who know her especially those that live in close proximity.   It is believed that she has cancer and many say she can't die quick enough but shows no signs of doing so.

She has got eight adult dogs and six pups from a recent litter.   She refuses to get the females spade, also will not get them injected.

The entrance to my place is through the property of one of my wife's aunt's, which borders this old woman's block.   Quite often the dogs rush out growling ready to attack by going through the wreck of a fence.   I have kept them at bay so far by using an iron tubular steel pipe but i can see these dogs attacking one of the young kids that come in and out and it could be fatal.   I have thought of rat poisoned  meat and a few other nasty things but i don't fancy spending the rest of my life in a Thai jail if caught.   The local Tabyi Bahn (not sure how to spell this one) does not seem to care partly because he lives half a mile away from the problem. The only positive thing about the situation is that there is a hospital in the village if required.  

Unfortunately there is no police station here to report to.   It looks like we are going to have to wait on this old biddy dying , but i can see some one getting mauled by the pack as that is what they are now.    Any reasonable suggestions would be appreciated.

Try to befriend them in bringing some food with you and watch what happens. Be calm. At least worth a try.

Nothing stops you or anyone else from spaying or neutering the animals. The animals require 48 hours of supervision and 2 weeks of healing. Once returned to the pack, the animals control pack population. They are also quieter.

Just walk slowly towards them, show them yiu are the boss. Give them some dog snack once and awhile. 

 

Problem solved 

 

It was 3 of them, and at once I walked towards them they split.

Man up and poison the lot

Yeah been there done that. Don't sacrifice your sanity and peace dealing with uncivilized villagers. Even going through the ordeal of having to poison dogs and worrying about consequences is not worth it.

 

Realistically your options are:

 

1) pay the woman to move even if that means buying her a house

2) pay the women to relocate all her dogs no matter the cost

3) move yourself (not near a village!)

4) rent another place and leave until she dies.

5) just deal with it
