You are talking complete nonsense

This thread concerns a 4 year old child who was savaged by three dogs who were allowed to roam freely

The child subsequently died of her injuries

I find it impossible to understand anybody who then Posts on this thread that they allow their six dogs to roam freely at will 

I clearly do understand dogs to the extent that when left to their own devices they are not just capable of killing humans they do kill them, and not just defenceless children as is proven by previous events

You are no better than the owner of the three dogs involved in this thread, if anything you are worse because you have six dogs, plus some strange ideas about the capabilities of your dogs

Its people just like you who help to make Thailand such a dangerous place by your irresponsible actions my man

I suggest you give that some thought before it's too late for some other child

Absolutely no good can come from free roaming dogs as is proved in Thailand on a regular basis

And no good comes from locking dogs up in cages or full time on chains.  And on a property as large as ours (11 rai) they will always find a way out.   Caged and chained dogs become savage because they are not exercised and  have no opportunities to be socialised like a normal dog.  Thais are generally hopeless at looking after dogs.  And, when when their caged dogs get our they get out they can chase, attack and kill children on bikes because they know no better.  This is exactly a sad example in point..... "Noppapon said that the dogs responsible for the attack were kept in pens in a neighbor's house." 

We have 6 dogs because the family insisted on a pack because "they are always dying."  We have had several deaths.  Three from Parvo because  they not innoculated when I got here.  One Hit by car and one poisoned. He was here when I came and was such an awful dog I wanted to get rid of him.  The family would only hear of taking him a long way away in a truck and throwing him out, which I vetoed.  I was glad when he was poisoned.  No loss.  I do have chains and they are used for punishment if a dog misbehaves.  They understand. it exactly.

 If it is not too much trouble for you please try to understand that our situation is nothing like the unfortunate one that is the subject of this thread.  It occurred in an urban soi.  We live in a rural area on a 1km long road with 5 houses fronting it.  (2 more off a side road. Everyone has dogs.  One has over 15.  Ours are the best vaccinated and fed dogs in the street.  and they keep other hungry scavanging dogs away.   

 

We have lots of very valuable fruit and numerous pumps on the property, all of which are tempting targets for thieves.  We have had two pumps stolen in the last 5 years, but now they are heavily protected protected by concrete, welded steel rebar cages, heavy locks hidden inside the cage where they cannot be easily cut...   and DOGS.   Security IS a problem round here.  We have no telephone lines in the street.  TOT refuses too replace them again because they only get stolen.  No one in this area has had land line phones or ADSL internet for over 10 years.  All our tool sheds are locked at night and burglaries do happen round here.   If one of my dogs turned into a biter I would probably do something that is illegal in Thailand .... find some way to have it destroyed.

My dogs are socialized  and have kids in and out of here on bikes all the time.  I have no time for caged or constantly chained dogs or wild soi dogs.  We are not going to agree on this.  Lets leave it there.

if there was spaying and neutering and if there was licensing.

No need for this. If the owners kept their gates closed, there would be no problems. You're probably living in your hi-so condo on 24th floor and don't know about all the nuisance these dogs make. You should get out more, then maybe you would understand more about your precious soi dogs.

Nobody is suggesting that you cage or chain your dogs, no need with so much space for them

You should make sure your 8ft barbed wire fence is dog proof, as regards getting out, which would appear to increase life expectancy for the odd one or two

I will repeat I can see no reason for allowing a pack of dogs to roam at will anywhere, however secluded, because they cannot ever be trusted, they are after all "DOGS" 

It's as simple as that for me, as what can happen is perfectly obvious 

I will leave it with you as I have nothing else to add

many time when I read reactions here from foreigners, I have the idea that it comes out of a prison or low harbour cafe. Many are so agressief thinking,  condemening others  bbbrrrr

Things happen in live, and you must try to understand.

In this case it is just an accident, nobody wanted this to happen, if the kid was bitten by a snake, or a wall fall down on her, or a car explode, it is sad, and just an accident.

I think the guy, grandmother or dogs need no punishment.

stop agressive language, try to forget  the sad happening and go on with your life !

"I think the guy, grandmother or dogs need no punishment."

 

And that just about says it all about a "non foreigner" attitude - I can't believe that somebody would actually come out with such an inane (insane) statement!

If they're neighbors, it'll get worked out to everyone's satisfaction. Money won't save the girl, nor killing the dogs. They'll work it out.

Killing the dogs would be a good first step to a safe soi.

A girl of 4 yrs old got killed by dogs and "they'll work it out"?.

I sure would "work it out" like Charles Bronson in the movie Deathwish.

You should be attacked and bitten by Pitt Bulls.

Maybe you learn something from the experience.

See if you will say "things happen in life".

It was anything but an accident

The death of the child was a direct consequence of another's irresponsible actions

The child died a horrific death and is gone forever, that's what you should be concentrating your mind on, not defending those responsible

There is a jail sentence here in LOS for killing a dog  ,  so revenge or taking care of a situation needs some thought so as to distance yourself from a crime .

They should send the dogs to china or Vietnam to become table scraps. 

The dogs and their owner(s) should be assumed innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law. The dogs should be allowed to testify on their own behalf.

Well, if you are Thai, you do a great job just show us what this country is all about: irresponsibility and complete inability to understand that accidents happen not through fate but only because someone <deleted> up.

The tragedy was clearly preventable by the dog owner taking responsibility . However it seems to be common practice to allow owned dogs the freedom of the soi .   Allowt their dog to become one of the local pack that attack people , cyclists and motor bikes . Come into contact with rabied dogs . Soil the pavements and bark non stop for no reason . I have been attacked by packs so have stopped my walks and I know of 4 falangs who have been bitten , followed by a course of treatment .  This young girls death is just the tip of the iceberg with many injuries inflicted by owned dogs that have to be with the scared  victim for life . Sadly , nothing is going to change soon as apathy rules here .

You, sir, have obviously never met a pack of these street dogs. If one of them starts attacking you, the rest off the pack will join the party. Accintents has nothing to do with this. They should be rounded up and put down, period.

500 metres of dog proof fence???? You jest of course.  I assume you have never owned a dog. Dogs dont even need wire cutters like durian thieves do. This has become a futile exercise.  Over and out.

Of course nobody wanted this to happen.  The term accident is very overused these days.  Surely an 'accident' is something that wasn't preventable.  In this case, it certainly wasn't an accident.

Don't laugh, a Standard Poodle can weigh as much as 75lbs, normally very social animal, but can be fierce with a strong bite and sharp teeth

I wasn't laughing, it was a serious remark and I do know what a poodle is and the differences between Standard, Miniature and Toy, thanks very much

first point, you are right. and if it happen to me i am in bad luck, I will not blame the owner or the dogs.

second point you are wrong, we are a part of nature, 99.5 % of dogs brings happiness/help to people, sometime it can go wrong. same like in a lion park, crocodile park or with human. you have all good neighbours, but maybe 1 time one get mad and kill you. or you get in a fight at a street and others join.

in your judgement, we should kill all ...  till nothing left in this world,  maybe birds, fish .. but i hear some wants to kill gecko's also because they have to shit and the birds make noise.

Apathy going hand in hand with those in high places who are never in a position to be savaged by street/soi dogs - usually protected by the steel doors of a Merc or Beamer!

I have a good question I am sure many want to Know. CATS stray or ones who have owners that let them run wild at their leisure. I live in a community where cats are running wild. They piss/poop on my property, walk on my truck and make dirty paw prints on my truck and windows, cat fights late at night, howling, screeching, sounds like children in distress. I want to know where I can find a small animal cage/trap so I can capture these wild cats and take them far away from my house.

Futile I agree, why don't you just close your gates with your dogs inside maybe that would deter the local thieves

It would certainly make the neighbourhood a safer place with one less pack of dogs on the loose

The gates are always all closed and locked all night every night.  Six locked steel gates and 500m of 10 wire barbed wire fence stop neither dogs or thieves.  Dogs burrow or jump through fences at an angle, anywhere they like.

Fruit thieves use wire cutters, bolt cutters  and hack saws.

There are plenty of untrained dogs around here that that roam up and down the road all day and night, mainly looking for food.  Ours are not among them.  our dogs  chase the ferals away from our property of we would be over-run.   At the most,  2 or 3 of our dogs take a brief walk most late afternoons through an uninhabited neighbours property and return down our family private road.  They come back in the main gate after being absent for 5 or 10 minutes, tops.  Other than that the whole 6 are rarely more than 40 metres from the house unless they are with us away from the house, which they love.  They sleep for much of every day anyway as they are all awake for much of every night responding to other local dogs' movements by lying out near our main gate.  Our dogs are not a danger to anyone except thieves and do not fulfil your fantasy of a local re-enactment of Jack London's "White Fang."

I have spent hundreds of hours reinforcing what I expect from our dogs  and miscreants occasionally get chained up for a few hours or days to confirm my resolve.

Please stop confusing well behaved, painstakingly socialised farm/house dogs (guard dogs if you wish) with roaming killer packs of rabid proto-wolves.  It is simply a fantasy.    

 

I cannot afford to waste any more time answering your misconceptions.  I share your concerns about undisciplined, wild or savage dogs of which Thailand has too many and even too many in this neighbourhood.  Thank you for your concern about our dogs but I firmly believe your fears are misplaced.
