A 56-year-old woman who lost a toe after being mauled by a pit bull in the early hours of July 14 has expressed frustration after police requested CCTV footage to support her case, despite her injuries.

 

The victim, identified only as Mrs. Saradom, spoke to local reporters from her home in Pae subdistrict, Mueang District, Rayong Province. She recounted the traumatic incident that left her middle toe on her right foot severed.

 

The attack occurred around 03:00 while she was out sweeping the streets as part of her cleaning job. Four pit bulls approached her and one of them lunged, biting her foot and severing a toe. After receiving three days of hospital treatment, she returned home and proceeded to file a police report, hoping to receive compensation from the dog’s owner.

 

Mrs. Saradom brought photographs of her injuries as evidence, including the missing toe. However, officers at the local police station reportedly told her that the evidence was insufficient without CCTV footage of the incident.

 

“Isn’t a missing toe enough proof?” she asked reporters. “I’ve already lost part of my body forever. I just want the owner of the dog to take some responsibility.”

 

The story gained public attention and sparked debate about police procedures in cases involving animal attacks. Critics questioned the necessity of surveillance footage when physical injuries were so clearly documented.

 

Following the media coverage, the dog’s owner came forward and initiated talks with Mrs. Saradom to provide compensation. Both parties are currently in discussions to resolve the matter amicably.

 

The case highlights the growing issue of dangerous dog ownership and the need for clearer legal protocols regarding victim compensation and liability.

I would hope, seeing the owner is admitting his dog's guilt, that the animal would be permanently confined or put down, as this will happen again, and the next time it might be fatal. Compensation is one thing, but common sense is another. The dog only knows one thing, and obviously it came from a lack of training.

The dog must be put down, it represents a danger to humans, young & old.   People should not be allowed to breed dogs with violent behavioural problems.

My daughter loves animals, and we have an assortment of dogs that have been coming to our house for 7 years. I have told her many times not to trust just any dog, as most here are running loose, and you don't know how they were treated or trained, if at all. 

 

In America, I would go up to any animals I see, looking to make a friend, petting them. In 62 years, I was  bitten once, by a small dog in a yard where I was looking at a motorcycle possibly to buy. Two dogs ran after me when I crossed a rope about a foot high. One grabbed my pants and ripped it, giving me a small bite. The owner was mad at the dog but it wasn't a big deal, so I told him it's okay.

 

The only other time I was bit was here, going to a wedding with my girlfriend here. We were leaving and a dog was by my car so I bent to pet it and it bit me on the hand, not breaking the skin. It was the person's dog in the house next to my car. They said nothing, even though it was loose in the street. The thing here, is that again, most of the dogs you see here are either wild or let free by their owners, with little or no training, and they revert to being dogs. Territorial and sometimes vicious. That they see us as just another dog has them exert their authority.

 

That lady was in that dogs realm, and that dog will continue this unless it's dealt with properly.
