In a deeply unsettling incident at Bang Saen Beach, Chon Buri, a video capturing a man abusing a rabbit has sparked a wave of outrage across Thailand. The footage, shared by witness Pattanapong Sririmala on the "Rabbit Lovers’ Community" Facebook page, shows the man repeatedly hurling the rabbit into the air and letting it fall onto the hot sand.

 

The shocking video, posted on July 21, records the man not only throwing the rabbit but also pouring sand over its body, seemingly attempting to bury it. Pattanapong, who captured the distressing scene, noted that this cruel act had been repeated multiple times before he began filming.

 

Following the post, the man, identified online as “Aruneelengpo,” reportedly contacted Pattanapong, demanding the video be removed and threatening legal action. Unfazed, Pattanapong refused to delete the footage.

 

The video quickly went viral, igniting widespread condemnation from Thai netizens. Comments ranged from despair at the rabbit's suffering to calls for justice and reflections on the man’s upbringing.

 

Some distraught viewers questioned, “How was this man raised?” Others expressed immediate concern for the rabbit’s well-being, fearing it could suffer severe stress and injuries.

 

 

Animal welfare organisations, including Watchdog Thailand, have been alerted by concerned citizens urging for the man's arrest and prosecution. The gravity of public sentiment underscores a collective demand for swift action against animal cruelty.

 

In an interview with ThaiRath, Pattanapong revealed that a local food vendor intervened to rescue the rabbit. The animal was reportedly found in a drowsy and lethargic state, illustrating the distress it endured.

 

Locals have informed reporters that the man resides near the beach and has a history of purchasing and mistreating rabbits.

 

As of now, authorities have not provided updates on any legal proceedings or arrests linked to this incident. The lack of immediate action has left many hoping for a robust response to underscore that such cruelty will not be tolerated.

 

This incident has not only highlighted the importance of animal welfare but also brought community vigilance into sharp focus. It serves as a clarion call for stronger protective measures and heightened awareness regarding animal treatment in Thailand.
