Owners urged to register pets

BANGKOK: -- The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is encouraging owners of dogs, cats, fowl, elephants, cattle, sheep, goats and camels in the capital to register their animals with district offices by April 16.

Padung Sutecha, the administration’s livestock chief, said the registered animals would be entitled to assistance in case of disease outbreaks, while the unregistered ones would receive none. He said the move to register these animals was in line with Agriculture Ministry policy. The registration began yesterday.

The government will not legally punish owners who fail to register their animals.

Padung said owners of fighting cocks could come forward to district offices if they wanted the government to bear the cost of implanting microchips in their gamecocks.

No, but it will probably tax those who do register

(All farang, of course. Mostly German, I expect - they will always follow orders ....)

This is an unbeleiveable waste of tax payers money. Can you imagine the paperwork involved in regsistering the huge number of Camels there must be hiddden in condos and townhouses around Bangkok. It will take years to implement. C'mon all you people, own up..........wheres the camel ?

That must cover about 80% of the population here. Do they love paperwork or what ?

That buffalo will have to go ...cant get near the ab-nam
