Report Phuket Fury: Frenchman Accused of Burying Dog Alive
Photo via Facebook/ Phuket Times ภูเก็ตไทม์ A Frenchman in Phuket faces backlash after being accused of attempting to bury his Siberian Husky alive. The incident has sparked an online outcry as local and international communities rally for animal welfare. The controversy erupted when a foreign woman in Phuket raised the alarm in an online community on 17th July. She reported hearing disturbing howls from her neighbour’s property, and later witnessed the Frenchman burying a dog in his garden. Local public figures and administrators of a Facebook page acted swiftly by coordinating with authorities and the Soi Dog Foundation to rescue the animal. The poorly treated Husky, alongside two other dogs from the home, was transferred into the foundation’s care for rehabilitation. Franck Bernard Marie Bayard, a 61-year-old French expatriate, became the centre of a social media storm. Netizens from Thailand and beyond were quick to criticise him, labelling his actions as animal cruelty and questioning his mental state. In a bid to clarify his actions, Bayard spoke to the Phuket Times. He claimed that he genuinely believed the Husky had passed away and had no intention of harming the animal. Bayard, who has resided in Phuket with his Thai wife for over two decades, explained that he runs a local business and was shocked by the backlash. The incident has raised broader questions about animal welfare laws and enforcement in Thailand. While the country does have measures in place to protect animals, critics argue that more needs to be done to prevent such incidents. This event has highlighted the role of social media in advocating for animal rights, showing how quickly a local issue can gain international traction. The involvement of local influencers and activists played a crucial role in ensuring the dogs were removed from potentially harmful conditions. The Soi Dog Foundation, which took custody of the dogs, is known for its work in providing care and finding homes for rescued animals in Thailand. They have expressed commitment to ensuring the well-being of the rehabilitated dogs and thanked the community for its swift response. As the story continues to unfold, questions remain about how similar situations can be prevented in the future. The incident has prompted discussions around increasing awareness and education on animal welfare among pet owners in Thailand. Animal rights activists are urging for stricter regulations and better resources to aid enforcement. They believe prevention and education are key to protecting vulnerable animals from neglect and abuse. The situation serves as a stark reminder of the responsibility that comes with pet ownership and the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of all animals. As authorities continue to investigate, many hope this incident brings about positive change and reinforces the message that cruelty to animals will not be tolerated.

Trump Goes Off On His Own MAGA Base: 'I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!'
There are four types of Trumpers: 1) Billionaires seeking tax breaks (e.g., Bezos, Griffin) 2) Those seeking huge government contracts (e.g., Musk used to be one) 3) Those fearful of running afoul of Trump and ending up in jail (e.g., Zuckerberg) 4) Assorted losers. If a Trumper is not among the first 3 categories, that only leaves #4. -

Report Retired Aussie Officer Loses 40 Million Baht in Phuket Crypto Scam
Don't tell anybody how much you've got. Don't flash it around. Don't look for get rich quick schemes in Thailand. Don't bring the bulk of your money here, just what you need. Don't believe anybody who starts pitching you any kind of 'investment'. These are my rules of thumb and they have worked well for me for over 20 years here. "You're not in Kansas now..." -
