bungalow1969 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Its about a kind hearted animal loving woman who wanted to help. Maybe she's been reading about how dogs life's are in Thailand and wanted to help. Yes maybe a bit naive but any need for all this slander?? One word..... 'pathetic' which sum's up the majority of most of you on here. I do like to read TV as lots of useful information to be gained but by god there is some right grade A _ricks on here. Get out more you sad bunch.... Maybe to fat and no money to do so...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotBkk Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 She is an idiot. The dog may not even exist in reality. Anyone can get a photo of a dog and post it online. I would have thought there are more pressing cases that could use the money and not necessarily in saving a mutt. Being so stupid she deserves to be conned She might not be the only idiot here. If you just read the article, you wouldn't assume and write things without knowing the whole story. These forums are full of idiots bad breed if u ask me mate !!!!

MiKT Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 WARNING***** MESSAGE TO ALL WHITE MAN AND WOMEN**** FROM a Third World Guy... We don't need your saving...Just don't bomb us out of extinction. There are so many home less human beings in America and Europe...SAVE THEM...We in Third World have lived like this for a million years already. We don't need your savings of Dogs and Cats. Save your own people first. Now hold on there dear Starchild5, don't be so hasty rejecting money from foreigners. I have 10 dogs in Buriram that recently behaved in a very unThai like fashion and got out and ate some of the neighbors fighting chickens. Whilst I secretly think this was an excellent thing to do, if anybody Thai, Lao, Cambodian, Viet, Malay, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Eskimo, or any kind of Farang (White or Black, we have no prejudices) would care to donate 20,000 THB to pay for the dead chooks please do not hesitate to contact me directly. I can provide a signed and chopped tax receipt or a signed and chopped dead chicken, whatever is required to validate this offer to reduce your tax burden by charitable donation. Naturally this includes English authors, I am sure that at least one of my dogs has a smidgeon of St Bernard in them, or possibly another saint, one can never be sure about these religious matters, but no doubt we could find the appropriate paperwork if push comes to shove, or squawk. I thank you, woof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 What a disgusting lot you are, the lady spends thousands trying to do a good thing and you have no empathy for her plight, that's why I love dogs more than humans, they don't have hate like you subhumans, I hope you all live in Thailand because the west doesn't want your type.

fasteddie Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Sad to read this, I hope that news like this doesn't affect donations to genuine rescue groups like Soi dog who do such great work in Thailand. Shouldn't do, Soi Dog Foundation are awesome, Gill is my hero, was even voted asian of the year, only farang ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is disgusting is, this woman spends 7'000 pounds to allegedly save ONE dog when the same money could have been used to provide access to clean water and sanitation to 7'000 people in developing countries for an entire year BUT, probably she wouldn't make any headlines with that. Maybe the right slogan for her would be: Safe a dog (maybe), let 4500 children die a day Edited April 7, 2016 by JoeLing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik BKK Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 It's her money, so she can do with it as she sees fit. I don't question her motives, they seem genuine and kind, but she could have acted a little smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letstellthetruth Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) There is a lot of misleading and false information in this article and it is surprising that the reporter did not contact the rescuer in Thailand to verify. First of all this "adopter" did not lose £7,000 . Many people around the world and in Thailand had and have unconditionally donated to ensure the care and medical treatment of Ballon. The rescuer has been been looking after Ballon since last September and it is a lie that this person has been in a battle for over a year. The rescuer has records for all donations as well expenses incured. The person looking to adopt only got involved late last year. The truth is the rescuer felt bullied by the person wanting to adopt Ballon,and elected not to allow for the adoption. Now this person is spreading a false story to make people think she is the victim. Not the case, the ongoing personal attacks on the rescuer is the unfortunate outcome, which impacts all legimate Thai rescuers. End of story.

saakura Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Is there a shortage of dogs needing rescue in the UK or closer to home Europe that she has to travel all the way to BKK to rescue a single dog? sometimes people do things that boggles the minds and expect that everything will be all right, so in this case, the good Samaritan got swindled due to her own too trusting nature and wanting to do a good deed.... Everyday there is some guy who lands in Thailand to rescue what he thinks is his Princess who was born to poverty and forced her to sell herself to feed the family. And loses everything.

Moonmoon Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I've read the story and went to both facebook page n feel that this reporting is very 1 sided. Not all Thais are out to scammed you. I feel its just a misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonmoon Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) What do you wish to see for evidence? Its not hard to find both parties on Facebook. Just type in their names n you can see both. The Thai "stranger" is not exactly a stranger as mentioned in the report. In fact on seeing her Facbook, She is actually quite well known for helping strays in Thailand and re-homing the pooches. ( she has even posted detail accounting spending of the pooch in the report as well. ) You don't need much evidence as if u do your own research on it which takes less than 10mins and a little common sense, You be able to see what is going on. I help stray dogs myself in Thailand and though not on the extend of the person in the report and I kind of understand why her concerns on not giving up the dog for adoption. When I go on holidays, I find the best place n person who is able to take care of my dog well. So it is important for the person to find the best adopter for the dog. There is alot of misunderstanding on the adopter part and I can see she is emotional as well. And if she can just calm down, I am sure she will get the dog. b4 you see any report and pass a judgment kindly do some self investigating 1st. I am in no way related to the Thai " stranger " I just have to be fair. Don't just write off a Thai as a scam artist in every report you see. Even though u have to be careful in all your dealings. Not everyone in Thailand is out to get your money. There are genuine ppl who wants to help and are fair and I have met quite alot here.

dick dasterdly Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 So in brief, for those of us who aren't interested in trawling through fb posts - are you thinking that she loves the dog too much to let him go, or that she doesn't think the foreign woman who has paid for its vet treatment cares enough?

Jonathan Swift Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Good for you for looking beneath the shallowness of tabloid reporting and ferreting out the truth. Miscommunication and emotional overreaction are a common human malady leading to misunderstanding and unnecessary distress. You are a wise person, you must feel like the guy in the bible casting his pearls (of wisdom) among the swine. I see that I was a little out of line and prejudicial, and learned (or relearned what I already knew) once again to refrain from judgment when not all the facts are avail\able and the sources of the story not checked.
