[ALFREDO]

Anyone have the phone number for this gang? I'd like to invite them to my soi.

Not only in BKK, also in cities same Khon Kaen, there is a dog hospital, open from 9 morning to Midnight and everyday and it has always customers!

Regarding the crazy street dogs. I live in Isaan in two provinces and small villages, since 15 years, nothing bad happened in all that years!

For myself, maybe I am a dog whisperer?

The dogs always come to me in a friendly manner.

Exactly, take every soi dog and send it to Loa to be eaten. I will donate money to put gas in the trucks. The dogs are all bug bitten and injured from being in fights and hit by cars. We can't put our garbage out until the morning it is picked up because the soi dogs rip the bags open. Garbage everywhere strewn about by the dogs and the ignorant Thai's.

Thais in BKK treat their dogs like pets but outside in the provinces it is a different manner. They run in packs and at night it can be very dangerous for anybody to walk down a road alone. Dogs are naturally pack animals and when roving in packs they tend to be aggressive and very territorial. The idea of rounding up the dogs and neutering them is fantastic but who will foot the bill. The Thais will not do it unless there is some profit in it for them.

The government pays for neutering as far as I know. I'm not sure how many people use it but at least it's a start and will eventually make a difference. Even in western countries not everyone neuters their animals unfortunately.

I wouldn't go suggesting Thais are ignorant as you don't seem much better your self.

In general it's not the eating of dogs that most people disagree with it's their treatment. On several threads, including this one (post #9) I've suggested posters look at this site http://www.soidog.or...dog-meat-trade/ and then comment but as far as I'm aware there's never a reply. Whether this is because they don't bother to look or because they do and have no response to what they read I don't know. I suggest you have a look yourself and in particular the paragraph under the first picture.

There is a problem with the number of dogs in some areas and one of the best ways to counter this is to neuter as many as possible. There are already charities doing this and the government pays for some as well. Maybe you could help by paying some money for this since you're prepared to pay for gas. I'm not against euthanasia if that's what's needed either. If it's humane and can't be avoided then that's OK by me.

Since you know that "The dogs are all bug bitten and injured from being in fights and hit by cars." you could perhaps help out with your veterinary experience as well. I don't know where you live in Thailand but it must be a really bad area as I don't recognise this from my experience in Isaan. It's true that animal welfare doesn't seem to be as important to Thais as I would wish but most of the dogs near me seem well fed and no more bug ridden than would be expected bearing in mind the amount of bugs in Thailand. After all it is a tropical/ subtropical country.

I don't know what the garbage arrangements are in your area but out here in rural Isaan it's put in blue bins so it's not strewn around the place by the dogs as they can't get at it. I'm sure if we had "ignorant Thais" as you say you have then they would be able to get at the garbage as they appear to in your neighbourhood. I'm just wondering, how much time do you spend in the early morning watching dogs and ignorant Thais throwing garbage around? Most countries have animals that will try to get food that's left out. In the UK it's foxes and cats mainly although it can be deer or even rats. I doubt that dogs are the only culprits, at least in rural areas.

They don't always take stray dogs either, many are pets taken from around houses. Pets are usually better fed and so are better for the meat trade. Some even have collars on apparently. These people are thieves out to make money not dog wardens.

Looks like that this website is just there to collect donations.

"Nakhon Panom residents try to prevent dogs being turned into dinner" This headline is misleading. The article is about trying to prevent the theft of dogs and not the eating of dog meat, which, although related in terms of creating a demand for dogs, is not the same thing.

I'll try to be as polite as I can mange with this reply even though I don't think it deserves it. Only 11 words and if you'd left out "this" it would have only been 10 and would have made sense as well although it would have very little to do with what I'd written.

Soi Dog is a charity and like most others needs money to carry out it's work. To this end they usually try to encourage donations. Even the website needs paying for unless it's provided free which is a donation in itself as is any other help which is either not paid for or is charged at a reduced rate. I hope that deals with that issue for you although I've no idea why you thought that obvious revelation that charities ask for donations was worth the little effort you put in.

I wonder, while you were researching this issue of donations for charities did you happen to look at anything else, maybe the paragraph I mentioned by any chance.
