snoop1130 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Farewell to Lumpini Felines: Officials won’t let cats return to park after mass neuter By Coconuts Bangkok Officials sedated dozens of cats at Lumpini Park on Saturday, before they were taken to a facility of the Department of Livestock for neutering. Photo: Photographer Who Loves Cats/ Facebook The stray cats that roamed free at Bangkok’s popular Lumpini Park — and became one of the park’s highlights over the years — will not be allowed to return to their habitat after the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration captured them for a mass neuter and spay on Saturday. The cats were neutered, spayed and kept at the Don Mueang facility of the Department of Livestock, but to the dismay of some park goers, the cats will not be returned to Lumpini, marking the end of an era, where park-goers often stopped to pet and feed the kitties during their workouts. “Lumpini Park is not a zoo. The park is not responsible for caring for the cats and other animals. They are meant to be with the Department of Livestock. We will not return the cats to the park,” said Apiwan Niamprasert, Department of Public Park’s director.

Moonmoon Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I am a Dog lover. When will they do the same for dogs? just capture them and mass neuter spay. Oh on top of that, outlaw all breeding and selling of dogs. Only selected few in the country are authorised to breed and sell them. thank you.

natway09 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 They got this one right. BAIBKK when have you ever seen a non feral cat kill a full size Bangkok rat. Believe me they run away as quickly as they can (& I don't blame them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keesters Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Let this not only be one park in the capital. The whole country needs the same action on both cats and dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
