How on earth would they know whether dogs are "infected"??? Is there any info. yet on where the one dog that was sick enough to be taken in by Soi Dogs (where they subsequently suspected rabies, hence the autopsy) came from?

Mukdahanman Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 This needs to be done throughout the whole country, and although I am a dog lover, bypass the ‘shelter’ and go straight to humane euthanasia. I’d like to be a good Buddhist but there are just too many streets that are unpassable without being accosted by uncontrolled dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardColeman Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Sorry, but most dogs that I have had run ins with are dogs of useless Thai dog owners that let them loose on the streets all night and day, that could be mixing with rabid animals and bringing the disease to an estate near you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
