Why are these dogs which are known to be a serious problem, allowed in the country?

Once again, these type of animals are not destroyed.

 

Most of them (dogs) are relocated to other homes.

The ones in the country should be put to sleep and a ban put in place for bringing them into the country.

Cue the " Pit bulls are fine if they are trained" utter BS !

I agree with brian69. They are bred to be highly aggressive 

How many hundreds are to follow until the semi divines of the Land of Funny Hats will understand the situation?

Oh dear you missed my point, it's in their genes to be aggressive they do not need to be trained for that.

Doesn't really matter where the aggression lies, they are a danger to the public and that is what really matters.

Why doesn't happen the same with "pitbull Trump"?

Because he takes care of the American people and protects them against stupidity such as your question.

Are pitbulls more dangerous than other dogs?

 

 

While pit bulls are powerful dogs, they are not inherently more dangerous than other breeds when properly trained and cared for.

Get over it know alls

They are known for switching from calm to highly aggressive for no reason. Animals like that have no place in areas where there are children.

Which, as we all know, (yet some will never accept) , is the exception to the rule in this country.

The dog in question isn't a Pitbull

A pit bull in Uthai Thani province mauled a two-month-old baby girl to death in a heartbreaking incident this afternoon. The tragic event unfolded when the baby's parents, junk dealers, were visiting a house to purchase second-hand goods. At 2:40 p.m., Amarin TV reported that police received a notification, prompting a team to rush to the baby's attack scene.

 

The police in Khao Bang Kraek, Nong Chang district, found the situation tense as the pit bull remained loose within the property. Officers hesitated to exit their vehicle until the dog's owner secured the animal. Bloodstains were discovered near a baby carrycot and toys, trailing six metres to a drain, marking the grim event's location.

 

The homeowner revealed she had invited Mr. Dusit, a junk dealer, and his wife, Ms. Kanthima, to her home to buy old items. They brought their newborn daughter, leaving her in a carrycot in the yard. As they gathered goods, the homeowner's pit bull named Big followed her outside, sniffed the child, and then unexpectedly attacked.

 

The dog owner attempted to intervene, prompting Big to release the infant, but the injuries were severe. The devastated parents transported their daughter to the hospital, yet she succumbed to her injuries. The incident leaves community members mourning and questioning safety around animals.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

• A pit bull fatally attacked a two-month-old baby in Uthai Thani province.
• The baby's parents were engaged in buying second-hand goods during the tragic event.
• Authorities are investigating, and the community is in shock over the tragedy.

I was not brought up in a country with guns but gun owners in places like America I assume must have responsibilities when a gun is in the house, eg they have to be locked in a safe place where kids can not get to them.

 

The same should be done with dogs, if a dog is not held in a safe place where it can not harm kids or other people then the owners should be charged with manslaughter if a dog attacks and kills a person, that would put an end to the practice of idiots owning such dogs.

 

They should also have to  buy $1,000,000 of third party insurance, that would also put off the idiots from having such dangerous animals.

Why do the people that own these breeds just let them wander around as they please. Time and time again here the same breed with owners that just let the dog do as it pleases.

Utterly tragic but why would you leave a baby that young sitting alone anywhere .

I think/hope the parents did not realise there was a pity bull on the premises. Likewise the owner should have tied the dog up when the strangers arrived. Whenever entering anyone else property, the first thing I ask about and look for is a dog - some dogs are OK and some are just 'not good'.

 

I worked with a bloke who had a dog that was 'not good' - he picked it up from an animal shelter - it was very clear immediately I saw it - and I warned him about it.  It got out one day and was aggressively barking at people walking nearby - then a day or two later it jumped the fence and was attacking kids in the local park.  When I found out about that I told him to return the dog to the shelter - he refused to listen.  A few weeks later later somebody poisoned the dog and he was very angry and upset.  When I tried to tell him the dog was very violent and someone was scared for their kids, he refused to listen and stormed off.  If that dog was in a yard near my kids - I would probably have done the same thing.  Some people just do not understand dogs and should never own them - especially Thais.

Aggression towards other dogs is in their genes. That is correct. 

 

Aggression towards humans is not. That has to be "trained" or sometimes beaten into them. 

 

A crying or screaming baby can distress any dog though. That's why you shouldn't leave them on the floor when dogs are around, irrespective of breed.

He should also have been poisoned in order to stop him getting another dangerous dog.

Again, we have the selected breeds, that wants to kill, have an instinct to kill, and are totally uncontrollable. Still people in charge does not get, that they need to be all from banned with high fines to simply put down. How many more children have to die, and how many more have to get serious injuries before they understand?

They are controllable but not everybody cares or has the skills.

Pretty stupid to leave a baby alone in a yard.

The good thing was that after he was told the same thing by everyone else too, he realised he was wrong to get such a big older dog that others had obviously not treated well and they had then dumped it on the streets. He then go a small mixed breed terrier sort of dog - lovely animal he was too.  Some people learn - he did.   If anyone wants a big larger dog then they must get them as a puppy and train them well.

Unless they had no idea there was a dog in the yard. If they were looking at junk to buy then they would be climbing around and over stuff.

We are making an assumption that all people are clever enough or have to skills to train such large dogs.

 

There are a lot of stupid people around but yet they can buy any dog they wish.

Good point. But you cannot tell what is a dangerous dog by looking at a picture.  I was told when young and experience has shown it to be true - beware pink lips, pink ears and pink eyes.  

 

Pit Bulls and all Pit Bull crosses and all larger bull/terrier dogs should be banned here in Thailand - they need to be trained and disciplined - and most Thais do not train their dogs enough (or children).

The tragic event unfolded when the baby's parents, junk dealers, were visiting a house to purchase second-hand goods.

 

Think again - they were junk dealers looking for used stuff to buy.

They were not looking at antique furniture in a shop.

Indeed, they were looking in a house to buy secondhand goods, can't you read?
