Police in Nakhon Ratchasima are searching for a man and woman accused of deliberately poisoning stray dogs, leaving three animals dead and one critically ill.

 

CCTV footage from a self-service laundrette on Suranarai 13 Road, Ban Ko subdistrict, captured the disturbing incident on the morning of 18 August. A grey Toyota Yaris was seen pulling up before the male driver lowered his window to observe the pack of strays nearby. Moments later, the man exited the vehicle and left food suspected to have been laced with poison for the dogs.

 

Within minutes, four dogs began convulsing, frothing at the mouth and writhing in pain. Three died at the scene, while one was rushed to a veterinary clinic by a passer-by who attempted an emergency treatment with raw eggs. Thanks to their intervention, the animal survived.

 

Witnesses reported that a slim, tall man had been seen in the area several days earlier asking locals whether the dogs had an owner. On the day of the poisoning, CCTV revealed a woman sitting in the back seat of the car, believed to be involved in the incident.

 

“It was heartbreaking to watch. We tried everything we could to save them, but only one survived. I don’t understand why anyone would do such a cruel thing,” said a local resident who helped in the rescue attempt.

 

The motive for the poisoning remains unclear. Authorities are now examining CCTV footage and photographs taken by witnesses to help identify the suspects.

 

Animal welfare groups in the province have condemned the attack and urged police to bring those responsible to justice.

Nonsense.

 

Not a Buddhist thing to do in a Buddhist country.

 

If you can't help them at least don't hurt them.

Another very disturbed person taking their hidden anger out on animals because they can't vent in a proper way. Takes a sick mind to intentionally kill domestic animals. One offense is a fine and possibly jail time, and when they actually enforce the law, other like minded human garbage might think twice before they do it. People who look at life this cheap also look at other humans the same way. Some live in denial of what they actually are                 A growing body of research indicates that people who commit acts of cruelty towards animals rarely stop there.   Murderers and people who abuse their spouse or children had frequently harmed animals in the past. People who abuse animals may also be dangerous to people............https://www.animallaw.info/article/link-cruelty-animals-and-violence-towards-people..

From the link above.......

• 100% of sexual homicide offenders examined had a history of cruelty towards animals. [34]  
• 70% of all animal abusers have committed at least one other criminal offense and almost 40% have committed violent crimes against people. [35]
• 63.3% of men who had committed crimes of aggression admitted to cruelty to animals. [36]
• 48% of rapists and 30% of child molesters reported committing animal abuse during childhood or adolescence. [37]
• 36% of assaultive women reported cruelty to animals while 0% of non-assaultive women did. [38]
• 25% of violent, incarcerated men reported higher rates of “substantial cruelty to animals” in childhood than a comparison group of non-incarcerated men (0%). [39]
• Men who abused animals were five times more likely to have been arrested for violence towards humans, four times more likely to have committed property crimes, and three times more likely to have records for drug and disorderly conduct offenses.

No, it´s better to have them everywhere being a menace to children and other people. If the government, municipalities or police do nothing about this, just maybe it´s time to help them on their way. The only thing is that they should have been smarter and not got caught. If we let them breed freely, we will soon have cross breeding between pitbulls and other types of dogs. No one knows where that will go.

Are these dogs really a menace?  Or have people just gone soft?

 

I think the latter.

Well, we have a pack of 10 roaming around here at the moment. If they were not fed by a Good Samaritan they would have died of natural causes by now.

No I do not agree with poisoning them like above but they a a problem that needs to be dealt with.

Ok, maybe you want streets full of cows, pigs, chickens and so on.......Nothing seems to bother you. Let´s hope you will not stand in front of a rabies infected cross breed one day. It might change the tune in your pipe. Or, just maybe you have children, and one of them get mauled by a stray one day. Think about those scenarios, and reality might fall in place for you.

Cows and chickens everywhere around me in the roads, sometimes a herd of buffaloes, but they're all friendly, dogs not so much.
