Pit Bulls attack almost kills a woman

 

 

Four pit bulls savagely attacked a woman in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, critically injured her. Fortunately a relative rushed to rescue her in time before the dogs would kill her.
 

The attack left neighbors in fear with call for concerned authorities to remove all the dogs from their community.

The victim was seriously injured causing the rest of the villagers to be extremely concerned.

Samphan Taengthong, husband of the victim, Suwin Boonthiem, recalled how she was attacked.

He said his spouse was attacked by 4 pit bull dogs at their home in Baan Nhong Nam Khao in Klong Waan district.

She is now in critical condition and receiving treatment at the Prachuap Khiri Khan general hospital.

He related that late last night, as Ms. Suwin was sweeping up in the grounds of their home, six pit bulls belonging to Police Senior Sergeant Major Kasem Nuansri of the Klong Waan district police station, managed to break free from the policeman’s house grounds and proceeded to attack his wife.

Four of the dogs attacked the unfortunate woman while another two stood guard.

He said that his own dog, a local Thai breed, tried to defend his wife but was not able to because it was chained up.

The courageous dog was later attacked by the pack and was killed. Fortunately for the woman, her brother-in-law was on the premises and saved the woman and duly sent her to hospital.

“The dogs had in the past attacked other villagers but never this severely. They broke free from the fencing and attacked my wife! I have filed charges with the police and demand compensation for what has happened. If no one was around I fear my wife would have been killed,” he recalled.

Meanwhile, Ms. Suwin whose condition has now improved remains in fear and doctors are keeping a close eye on her.

She has suffered severe wounds all over her body especially around her face and head which has had to be treated to many stitches.

She recalled from her hospital bed moment she was attacked.

“The dogs broke free by digging under the fence and charged me. I attempted to escape into my house but was not quick enough and was attacked and dragged down to the ground. When I fell the attacks became more savage and I was bitten from every direction! Luckily for me my brother-in-law saw what was happening and came to help otherwise I would have died. If no one was around to help I wouldn’t have survived!”

Now residents in Klong Waan want the animals removed from the area fearing further attacks.

The dogs should be put down immediately and the owner charged with aggravated assault.....plus pay compensation to the woman. 

 

To keep one vicious dog in a poorly secured area is bad enough, but 6! 

[noitom]

These dogs must be euthanized immediately. The Thai press should campaign for that. The Thai police should be charged with a negligent assault charge. The Thai press should investigate why this police officer kept six pit bulls in his yard. The Thai military dictatorship should appoint a colonel in charge of dogs and violent dog behavior and euthanizing them.

6???? Problems reading?

 

There were 4 and previous report said lightly injured and owner is a cop who was hospitalized, so dogs were not fed since Wednesday(no mention of which week or month) 

 

Previous report also states dogs climbed the fence.

 

Owner should also be charged with animal cruelty

From the OP "Four of the dogs attacked the unfortunate woman while another two stood guard". Whether or not the owner was hospitalized he cannot be there 24 hours a day controlling his dogs. Why should anyone need to keep any dogs which are unpredictable & capable of killing at the drop of a hat for no discernible reason. I agree with BSJ.

I knew a farang here who bred pitbulls. He told me the police were his best customers. The problem with pitbulls, besides the obvious, is that they are owned by completely the wrong people as some sort of penis extension. Having said that, there's one in my soi owned by a limp lettuce of a man who cannot control it. He has two other mixed breed dogs and they all 'pack'. I blame him for the attacks on our dogs, not the dog.

 

Poor Thai dog. I had one. Best dog I ever had.

Again previous report stated 4 dogs and they have not been fed because owner is in the hospital .

Previous report has no mention of dogs attacking other people.

Previous report states dogs also killed the dog of the victim.

Previous report stated dogs attacked her as she came home, this one states she was "sweeping"

Previous report stated dogs climbed the fence.

Who is lying? The injured wife or the husband who wants money? Edited August 2, 2014 by konying

i completely agree that so called fighting dogs should just be kept by responsible owners.the problem is that the character of this bread has changed dramatically over the last few decades.actually they were bred to fight each other and as guard dogs every man biter got removed from the blood line.but in the last few years pittys became a status symbol of pimps,dealers and other chavs and they want dogs aggressive towards humans that's the reason why pit bulls have changed.if you buy a pit from a legal pit bull club member you will have an amazing dog loyal,intelligent and a great guard.

just my two cents

[jacky54]

we know these dogs will not be put down, this is Thailand where killing is a sin, yet they almost all eat meat. This dog problem will only get worse and when vicious dogs start to breed with soi dogs then that problem will get worse as well. I don't like to see these killers referred to as pitties or staffies, makes them sound cuddly. They should be eradicated completely, blaming the owners will never solve the problem.

Lol, they start?? Was there some rule that they could not?

Problem will get worse? What problem ? More soi dogs?

I do not care who said what ,they are vicious dogs usually owned by the wrong sort of person , i was at the market last friday ,this heavilly tatood farang with massive shoulders dressed in a singlet and shorts ,with his wife ,2 little kids and a pit bull ,was buying another one off a stall ,,now he may have been the nicest kindest guy in the world ,but he looked more like a thug ,and he was going to let his little kids be around two pit bulls ,says it all.

If given the "proper" care when they are pups, pit bulls are not vicious dogs.

I have a Pitt-bull and a Staffordshire bull terrier, and firstly i hope the lady in question gets well soon as no matter what the bread of dog it would be a traumatic experience. but as stated earlier i blame the Owner not the Dog! any owner of this type of dog must be responsible for their dogs actions and take time to socialize the animals with other people and other dogs, discipline and exercise are key points and i very  rarely see Thai people walking there pets or training them correctly.

Euthanising is not the right word.

 

Euthanising is to be killed by consent.

 

The dogs should be killed.

[Albertosez]

Pit bulls will always grab the headlines when someone / something is bitten by these dogs. If this thread was about a woman being attacked by 6 poodles then it would just not be as interesting. For those who prefer facts to fiction- try googling which breeds of dogs are responsible for the most dog bites - the results are likely to surprise you. If people who prefer the powerful breeds ( preference only ) were denied that right because powerful breeds were banned, then that would be a knee jerk reaction and a shame. Shall we remove all mini busses, pick up trucks and fortuners off the road for the same reason? The vehicles have done nothing wrong and if they are in the hands of responsible owners / drivers then they are of no threat to anyone. The same is true of the various dog breeds. The same can be said of weapons.....should they or should they not all be banned because in the wrong hands they are very dangerous ?
Of course I really do sympathies with the woman and her dog- this simply should not happen- but neither should road accidents, street stabbings and shootings, the majority of which would be avoided if the owners of those dogs, vehicles and weapons were responsible and capable owners !

1. American Pit Bull Terrier

These dogs repeatedly make headlines for attacking people. Their aggressive temperament matched with their strength historically saw them bred as fighting dogs. While dog fights are illegal, many of the dogs still exhibit the traits of fighters. These dogs were also used for baiting both bulls and bears so their genetic makeup is rather fierce.

Pit bulls have been known to attack children, the elderly, their owners – anyone that happens to be in their path. If the dog feels provoked or startled, it has been known to bite. Many owners swear that their pet would never attack them; however, this breed has led to more human fatalities than any other.

The sheer volume of Pit Bull attacks have prompted many insurers to deny coverage associated with homeowners insurance. Many owners have to seek a special policy for coverage liability protection where their pet is concerned. Of course, some don’t bother to tell their insurer about their new pet and this could lead to problems, especially if the dog does bite or injure someone.

It’s essential for pet owners to understand the nature of the breed they choose to bring into their home. While it may be true, indeed, that many of these canines have become revered members of the family, it also cannot be denied that this particular breed is responsible for more fatalities than any other type of dog.

A typical knee jerk reaction by someone who has no knowledge of the breed. Of course in this case the dogs should be put down immediately. Anyone that knows anything about A.P.B.T knows that the number one trait that couldn't be tolerated was human aggression any known "man biter" would be culled immediately. The pit bull used to be known as a nanny dog because they were so good around the family and children. They still are if raised and socialised correctly. Unfortunately like the Doberman in years gone past then the Alsatian and Rottweiler, dead headed wanna be tough guys, drug dealers and plastic gangsters took these dogs abused them and made them aggressive and dangerous towards humans. It is the owner who should be brought to answer. Not eradicate a breed of dog for attacking a human. Where does it stop? Should we then eradicate every breed that has attacked a human? Why stop there why not eradicate every animal that has ever attacked a human? Let's just start right at the top of the chain then and start eradicating ourselves because we are not too bad at commiting violence against humans either. My family has bred and raised A.B.P.T's for 3 generations in Australia and Thailand and have never had a problem. I do endorse keeping all dogs in a properly enclosed area and in the case of the larger breeds they probably should be tethered as well when the owner is not present. Stop this mindless sort of action and stop BSL

[KunKen]

I have had 5 pittbulls together for a time .They lived with my family on my two rai property.They run off sometime,but never attacked people.I have one at my farm now running free,never a problem for people if not enter my property.They grow up with my five kids and love them.Better family dogs can u not find.I will by new pittbulls when these pass away.

[starky]

This is why they are banned in Australia.

No ignorance and not properly screening owners and making them responsible for their actions is why they are banned unfortunately in Australia. Most times in these attacks the dogs arent even pedigree A.P.B.T's they are pit dogs or pig dogs or bulldog x's or mastiff x's or bull terrier x's or any combination thereof. The media just loves saying "pitbull" because it makes good copy.  

• Any dog, treated harshly or trained to attack, may bite a person. Any dog can be turned into a dangerous dog. The owner or handler most often is responsible for making a dog into something dangerous. I am not making any apologies here and any dog that is shown to be human aggressive should be immediately put down but eradicating a whole breed due to the irresponsible actions of the owner doesn't make sense.

Pit Bulls are gluttons for human attention, love bugs supreme, and the 
real representatives of the breed don’t have an ounce of human-
aggression in their blood. It is insulting to any self-respecting bulldog fan 
that anyone would suggest Pit Bulls are no more and no less prone to 
human-aggression than any other breed. The breed should be rock solid 
and never show signs of unwarranted human aggression. In fact, the 
breed is so human-friendly that even sometimes when you wish they’d 
show some aggression (i.e. someone breaking into your home), you 
shouldn’t bet the bank that they’d do more than wag their butts and 
scramble to give a kiss on the lips. They aren’t guard dogs! (If you want a 
guard dog, get, hmmm, maybe a Rottweiler, or a Cane Corso - breeds 
bred for the task!)
