Hunger?

If they were black they have magical properties. When my black Great Dane died, i had a group of 5 youths come round to ask if they could have the body to eat, when i said i had already buried him in the back garden they said that was no problem, it was however a problem for me. the primitives were quite upset when i refused.

        After destroying the dogs and cutting off their heads the corpses should have been incinerated, not simply buried where other dogs, foxes or other animals (including humans) could dig them up. Sheer laziness.

Maybe the local hospital told them to do this. This way they can get repeat business.

kill every stray dog in Thailand. it is as simple as that !

McDonald's far and few between in Isaan and non-existent in villages away from a main city...too expensive for villagers...

And where do you think McDonald's gets it hamburger meat?

The bigger story is why are these guys having to eat dead dogs are they that hungry and desperate for food

true. most villagers would incinerate the animals, as a funeral. 

I wonder how they cut the heads off. Is there a tool for that? Don't vets usually give drugs to animals to euthanize? I guess lopping off the heads is cheaper. 

[chainarong]

Thailand certainly has it's problems............................................

[Docno]

Same idea as pla ra, I guess. Maa ra, anyone?

[Khun Paul]

Are there no depths with which these so well educated young males will descend to. Amazing that after I would guess approximately 8-10 years of education they learnt nothing. What is worse than that , is they have obviously received Zero Guidance form their parents either.

Am,azing Thailand !!!!

According to the results of a recent survey of dogs in Bangkok, around half may be infected

 

 

"Excuse me sir, I'm conducting a survey and would like to ask you if you have rabies?"

 

WOOF!

 

"Hmm I'll mark that down as yes."

I thought that as long as you didn't eat the brains or organs from an infected animal (or meat from around the bite area where infection entered body) and cooked the meat thoroughly you were ok to eat infected animals. 

 

Eating them raw or preparing the meat can be more dangerous though. 

 

I'm no expert however so I'm probably wrong  

Chow down and give us a full report.

Being a vegetarian, I really don't give a toss if I'm honest.

 

Meat is meat as far as I'm concerned.

Is there a special tool for that ?

Im not 100% sure but I thought I saw a special "dog decapator tool " in the pet food section at Tesco.

If hunger is the reason , that's absolutely heartbreaking.  

[khounteen]

<deleted>??? At least they did not sell the meat.

Not laziness They didn't have the brains they needed.

[BlindMagician]

I'm confused...

Did they cut off the heads of the youths, who then having lost their precious two cells of grey matter, were purely instinct driven and ate some dogs?

Is eating such sick, headless and very dead and buried animals standard operational procedure in those parts?

Is Thailand now formally elevated to "developed", and no longer "third world", due to the ingenuity of its modern go getters?

Not ALL day!  Even you must take a break for meals, beer & toilet, surely.  Please say yes you do or I am never sitting in your computer chair.  (Even if invited!!!)

I was thinking, How do they know they did not sell it?

Would they have admitted it if they did?

Gross. But is it for real or just a sub-plot from a Steven Seagall movie?

He didn't get that fat eating diseased dog meat.

Darwin Awards go to people who manage to kill themselves thus removing them from the gene pool. These guys merely caused inconvenience to the hospital and shame to their parents..

Yes who eats a dig up dog when he can easy find one along the road?

 

When i smell a rotting carcass at a U-turn i always search for the body and call my family from upcountry. They bring namplick and we all feast on it.

 

Countryboys learn great things from their parents...why work if you can have free meat?

Yuk!!!!!

The only foxes in Thailand are in cities like Pattaya..

Not true. I have seen them up North and I know what a fox looks like - I used to shoot them.

Oh no..... Rabies....  The one disease that makes you act like a zombie for a while...shuffling around, foaming at the mouth making groaning, growling, breathing difficulty noises, trying to attack and bite other people.... and then you die..    

    What fools...  Hope they got their shots in time before symptoms started to show...... because once symptoms appear... it's too late.
