Pattaya City Hall Looks At Stray Dogs Problem

[Rimmer]

A meeting was recently held at Pattaya City Hall to discuss the ever increasing

problems of stray dogs. The meeting was chaired by Pattaya Deputy Mayor, Khun Ronnakit Ekkasing, with attendees from the Public Health Authority, Local Officials and representatives from local animal shelters and charities.

The problems have become worse as the facilities to hold stray dogs have become vastly overcrowded, with some dogs being able to simply walk away from their detention, only to cause major problems to local residents. This is where the majority of complaints are originating.

Pattaya City Hall officials have been to visit the various areas around the shelters, and the general opinion of local residents, is that the present locations are not working and other accommodation must be found to house the shelters. However, those in charge of the shelters, believe that with a small budget from the Town Hall, fencing and security measures could be put in place which will enable them to keep all stray dogs off the streets. They explained, that due to the present economic situation, they have seen a 70% drop in monetary support from local residents. Without help from City Hall, they explain that they will not be able to continue for much longer.

Further meetings will take place in the near future to try and find a solution to the ever increasing problem.

Facilities to hold stray dogs? What for? Shoot them, no problem.

Stray dogs are a big problem, and have been for many years.

The answer has to be compulsory chipping of dog to prove ownership, the animal has had the appropriate shots and been neutered.

Then all strays should be rounded up and donated to the croc-farm.

Stray dogs ARE a big problem! So also are the ones that owners let out to cr@p everywhere so they don't have a mess to clean up in their owns yards!

Not donated but sold to the vendors.
