By Khaosod English


A man and the cat who he has accused a 35-year-old transgender woman of kicking, Pattaya, 13 Jan 2015.

CHONBURI — A transgender woman is facing prosecution under Thailand's newly-passed animal protection law for allegedly kicking a cat in the resort town of Pattaya this morning.

A married couple filed a complaint to Mueang Pattaya Police Station at around 5 am today that the 35-year-old suspect kicked their cat without any provocation.

According to the man, the transgender woman drunkenly approached his cat, and then kicked her, leading to a heated argument between him and the suspect.

I hope it wasn't Mr Bitey he kicked.........but this is in Pattaya......

Otherwise he should be hanged by the neck till he dies............probably .......suicide.......

String him/her/it up !

Jail's too good for him/her/it.

Cracking looking moggy.

40,000B or 2 years in prison... I doubt it will come to that, but I do hope she/he/it gets fined more than a 100B.

The cat does not look too hurt and no doubt enjoying the attention.

Anyway nice to see a law making it illegal to mistreat animals, and the law being used.

Anyone that ill treats an animal should be given the same treatment as they gave out, animals have a place in this world as well.

Stupid katoey. I told him to kick a dog, not a cat!

2 years in prison sounds like a fair punishment.

Two crude posts removed. Keep the humour clean please.

Where are the Pics of the Ladyboy and I don't see the cat with it's Paw Pointing

Most Likely a 100 Baht fine at the Most

I agree, when I find a dog asleep I bark at it incessantly!

I'm happy to hear that the new animal protection law actually works here, next time I see someone kicks a soidog I will report it to the police.

I love cats, but how about some even handed justice? Government employee killed friends wife due to poor driving, fined 1200 baht. Stab a tourist, 500 baht. Maybe defense should be "I thought it was a farang cat".

that is one ugly ladyboy in the picture ... forgot to shave ?

That's not the LB. That's the cat's owner. Please READ the caption (under the photo)...

Hey, I had one cat that would every day, run out and surprise me and bite my ankles. Not a playful love bite, but actually drawing blood.

After I got a second cat, it would terrorize that cat, not me...

555

"without provocation"

I'd suspect there are two versions of this.

Before passing judgement I want to hear the other side of the story.

There is more to this than what is being reported: history of bad blood and probably a Thai guy scorned by ladyboy involved here.

Inspiring

Stab a farang and send him fighting for life to ICU: 500 baht fine

Kick a cat : 40.000 baht fine

Finally an efficient scale to appreciate how we are valued here

Wait until a Farang is trying to stop his baby being bitten by a passing soi dog........

Probably angry because he/she just learned an alternate meaning of the word "Pussy" when he/she was so proud to be called one him/herself.

Go kick a bitch aggressive soidog if he/she wants to kick something, but then that might be too much like kicking him/herself.

So for kicking a Thai cat the transgender is facing prosecution ?? Remember the story when a transgender hit a farang with heels for not talking to her? Also ladyboys kicking and beating a farang at walking street?

I don't remember seeing any prison time for those curprits.

Anyway must say I m happy to see atlestatleast animal rights are being enforced .

+1....Jail time seems a little too much comparing to what else goes on everyday without jail time.

Yet another crude post removed.

Any more and suspension of posting privileges may result.

2 years in prison sounds like a fair punishment.

I agree with your sentiment but lets get real...

When you see some of the things people do to animals this is low on the Richter scale.

1 or 2K fine would suit this crime, this is only the tip of the iceberg, there are many other mistreaters of animals who do worse and who should be locked up for a very long time.

We seem to have gone from slow news day to no news day down at PattayaOne. Katoeys kicking cats in a city where they've killed human visitors for very little reason doesnt strike me as news.

I punted a dog after coming out of 711 ran up on me and with no escape gave it the boot. Only to realise the owner has it on a leash and won't restrain it. Three more strong kicks to it's face the owner restrains it, and abuses me for kicking the dog. I'm lucky I was able to get a kick in rather than It ripping my legs or arms up. On returning to my friends apartment I am informed the dog bit him and numerous others.

Yesterday I find out the dog is still around the shops but has been muzzled. Pity the laws don't stop owners of animals from reckless behaviour especially with a known biter.

I could hardly imagine a pussy cat needing a kick, no mater how pissed off it was.

So they should, I love puss.

Never been a cat lover but no animal deserves to be treated like that. I hope he/she gets more than a little fine.

I wonder what would Garfield have to say about it?

Every cloud has a silver lining. So if this guy goes to jail, that will be one

less transgender clogging beach road....
