Popular Post Crusader 448 Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2020 Seems like another case of, "don't do what I do, do what I say". Never heard of any Thais being prosecuted for doing the same, but then they just dump their dogs anywhere. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Now this is the laugh of the century, Thousands of Dogs are abandoned by Thais every day . That Are the Soi Dogs. This doesn't make this Expat look good . Good job that he gets in trouble for this . But the Thais They get a dog for a couple Months and they Kick it out, No Food ,full of Ticks, Fleas, Mange,Worms . They should come down Hard on them too, But No they are thai.

Thachatchai police later tracked down ‘Mr.R’, an Irishman who has lived in Phuket for a number of years, and filed charges against him under The Cruelty Prevention and Welfare of Animal Act. Thai routinely dump animals at Buddhist temples or just dump them on the street. In the entire time I've lived here I have never once heard of a Thai being prosecuted under the The Cruelty Prevention and Welfare of Animal Act for dumping animals. Virtually every Thai Buddhist temple in Thailand is a testament to dumped animals - and yet! But target the dirty, "cruel", bad farang for something Thais do routinely. Thai get cute puppies, then when the puppy isn't cute anymore - they get dumped. Soi Dog Foundation. Great job. How many Thais have you gone after? Let us know your record for prosecuting Thais for dumping animals. Until then: You're off my list of charities. The guy is an ass for dumping his animal . But this isn't a one-off event in Thailand. Prosecuting someone is. He took his dog to where it could receive care. If he was really cruel he could have dumped it on the road. My guess is he believed it would get care at Soi Dog Foundation. I laud him for dropping the pet where it could get help instead of a hundred worse places. If they start prosecuting people for dropping their pets off then future pet will be abandoned where they can't be helped. Take the dog in and find it a home. But no. Gotta much sure the "bad farang" gets a criminal record. That was stupid. Edited October 22, 2020 by connda 5 Link to post Share on other sites

That's because dogs are not owned here. They appear to stay and the householders feed them out of the goodness of their hearts. As they are not owned, or family pets, they cannot be abandoned. They just leave of their own accord. Link to post Share on other sites

Talk about being an apologist for Thais who "feed them out of the goodness of their hearts" until they get tired of doing so. "Thai who care for dogs aren't owners!"

Popular Post connda 17,428 Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Thais raise roosters in every village and khet in Thailand for use in cock-fights throughout this entire country. So tell me folks. If the authorities are such bleeding heart animal lovers suddenly, then why not crack down cock-fights under the Animal Cruelty Act? In my humble opinion animal fighting is just ugly, brutal forms of abject cruelty. How many articles have we read on TV about how authorities filing criminal charges against Thais for putting fighting chickens in harms way? About as often as we read articles about Thais being criminally charged for animal abandonment. I'm sure that's different, right. I have a word for it: hypocrisy. One last comment for SDF. You guys could have done so much better! Really! This could have been resolved without filing criminal charges. The owner could have been asked to support the animal until a home was found for it. Or community service helping with animals in lieu of criminal charges could have been arranged. I see this done all the time here in Thailand where aggrieved party's work with the police and the accused to find solutions that don't involve saddling a Thai citizen with a criminal record. What happened in this case? One set of rules to allow Thais to save face and keep from having a criminal record, another set of rules for the "ugly" foreigners where they go full Machiavellian on the accused in order to "make an example." He was a farang so throw him against the wall? How often are Thais paraded around in front of the public in order to "make and example" of them? Pretty much never. This whole situation stinks. I take care of close to 20 animals myself. My own pets (many of whom we have taken in off the streets) and I provide direct support for the care of quite a few temple dogs. Funds out of my own pocket and care out of my own heart. I don't get any accolades, or pats on the back, or awards. I do it out of compassion. And if someone drops off an animal on our doorstep - we care for it. We don't go looking to throw people into the criminal justice system.

SiSePuede419 1,705 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Phuket Ex pat got more than he bargained for when he took the decision to abandon his pet dog ‘Jonney Cash’ in a heavy storm on the road outside Soi Dog Foundation’s shelter. This person is soooooooooo dumb, they can't even spell "Johnny Cash" correctly. Link to post Share on other sites

ChipButty 15,552 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The way I see it, if it wasn't for farangs there would be an even bigger problem with stray dogs, common knowledge that Thai's dump their dogs down at the temple one near me has packs of dogs roaming around. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Bundooman 2,227 Posted October 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2020 Soi Dog foundation. Another self-righteous, self-indulgent group of persons making a living out of mutt misery, instead of addressing the root cause of a problem. When was the last time, (or hundreds of thousands of times) when this money seeking organisation pushed for a Thai prosecution? Foreigners only, and I don't condone what the mick did. The answer is clear. Eradicate the verminous and often dangerous dogs from every soi and every village in the country. Put compulsive dog licensing by owners into law. Big financial penalties for not doing so. Post-Covid employment for many canine Inspectors to enforce the law. Or just shoot the degusting creatures and grind them into cat food. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
