webfact Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thailand's soi dogs and cats: 600,000 to be sterilized in the next year Picture: Thai Rath The minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives has told the Thai press about increased targets for dealing with the country's stray cats and dogs. Thai Rath reported that there are reckoned to be 2.6 million stray dogs in Thailand and one million stray cats. Last year 160,445 dogs and 122,400 cats were spayed or sterilized. Picture: Thai Rath The target this year is 600,000, said Chalermchai Sri-On. The minister hopes this will further help to tackle rabies and serve to protect animals from abuse. Work is being carried out by the Veterinary Department utilizing government budgets.

ezzra Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 They have been sterilising dogs and cats for years now and still they multiply like rabbits or so we were told, so either someone not doing their job properly or the government lied to the people.. i go with the latter with a bit of the formar...

Rv Hawee Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Very good ! Try to multiply but 10 or 20 and it might start to be effective ! I am bored to do it with my own money as people here see as "i take responsabilites for them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beggar Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 "Thai Rath reported that there are reckoned to be 2.6 million stray dogs in Thailand and one million stray cats. " Will it make much difference if 600000 are sterilized? Sure - better than nothing but not much more. "Last year 160,445 dogs and 122,400 cats were spayed or sterilized. " Forget it...

Orton Rd Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Like bailing out a sinking boat with a cup, while they are doing it many of those dogs will be already pregnant giving birth to un sterilized dogs, also while they are at it hundreds of thousands of dogs will be breeding away to carry on the growing problem. Another failure of critical. or rather non thinking, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvs Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 600 000 sterilized,this leaves 2 million.One million are females and they will get 10 pups each per year?That is 10 million pups on the streets out of those 8 million will die for various reasons. This will leave another million females to carry on,my numbers may be off a bit but i am sure this is not going to work to control the dog population. It needs radical action which can be done but nobody wants to solve this it seems. I wonder what the final bill is each year,people in hospital,people killed by dogs, a lot of damage and so on. Dare i even suggest this bill maybe a lot higher then the medical bills from foreigners needing healthcare and not being able to pay the bill?

The year is almost over already, why not just include the number done so far? Its like stating on Dec 30 that you plan to lose 3kg of weight this year, and a day later you announce you made it getting congratulation and praise twice.... Wait, i just answered my own question why they not just include the number done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by far not enough. In the forests in the north are living so many and they hunt every small animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day I got bitten by such a 7-Eleven dog. With your great idea they could move further inside to a very cool place in a refrigerator. A win win situation.

Totally agree. Takes me back to the 1960's. Have personally been bitten by a dog pack requiring hospital treatment and also suffered a car accident caused by a pack of dogs running into the road. Cyclists seem to be a greatest risk, moto riders also. As a pedestrian you get to know the worst streets and, if you must, can go armed with a sharp stick and a few stones to throw.

Jimbo in Thailand Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Sterilizing is certainly more humanitarian than their last effort, a year or 2 ago IIRC, where they traveled all over rounding up strays then dumped them all in a massive pit and starved them to death. The photos of the suffering dying dogs was beyond disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta408 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 In some countries it is usually a low caste who executes or "puts out of misery", these rat infested beasts. Thai apparently and I say apparently will not do it, so I guess some of us North Americans have to form a brigade and to the relief of so many, Who chops the bacon? Who prepares the lamb chops. Soi dogs, cats and other crud has to be exterminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can't kill/euthanize a dog They rather let them suffer and die in pain It would be more humane to euthanize all stray dogs and cats and make the country a bit safer,,, only a bit we still have to put up with idiotic killer stupid drivers.
