What if I had a son here; business interests; wife? I've said it before and it's worth repeating; if you own a non-working dog in Thailand, you have to be deficient in brain matter.

There are lots of intelligent sensitive people who feel this way. It is these virtues that keep us silent most of the time. Non-working dogs are a blight on society particularly in Thailand where there are few laws to protect us from savage attacks (children in school playgrounds); almost daily accidents where motor bikes are brought down by strays; rabies cases are easily identified to foaming-jawed dogs but a host of other bacteria being spread is less easily attributable. Crapping in the street, urinating anywhere and everywhere has got to be seen as unsanitary yet it is common place here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working dogs would be spared my world wide cull of these muck-making, disease-spreading, accident-causing beasts. The dog population in Thailand is out of control and locals hide behind Buddhism to avoid doing what is necessary. Really? The solution is not to kill the dog population in Thailand, but rather educate Thais on the responsibility of having a dog. It disgusts me when people get a puppy, when it is no longer 'cute', it ends up in the streets and then, its the dogs fault. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thee is no place for them in a domestic family setting. That particular dog should be put down before it mauls a running kiddie to death. I beg to differ about pitts some are wonderful loving dogs what the problem is they are powerful dogs if they do bite you they are capable of shattering bone imo in this case the dog should be put down no doubt about it and btw it’s the little dogs that bite more people they just do less damage 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m saying is that everyone who wants to keep a dog, especially large breeds and fighting breeds should have to do a mandatory training on how to properly raise, socialize and keep dogs in order to get a permit to be allowed to keep any dog at al, if they pass the test! This would prevent most of the biting incidents!

These breeds have been trained to kill other dogs and that’s it! That doesn’t mean that they will kill automatically anything else. Through selective breeding aggression towards other dogs can be breed out of them. Take the Dobermann breed for example. They were known to be one-man dogs, meaning they used to focus and accept one guy in their life and they would consider everyone else to be below them which didn’t make for a good family pet. Over the past decade some breeders bred that quality out of them and their dogs are very much suitable family pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but it is you I think who missed my point. Having a permit for a dog is all well and good but based on the experience seen everyday almost in Thailand I used the example that needing a licence to have a gun is very often ignored or bypassed. So whilst your suggestion in say Europe/US/UK would work as it is socially acceptable only to follow the rules, here it is not, so people will still obtain these dogs without a permit.

Yeah, but you could impose draconian fees or prison times on the people who don’t get a permit. Then you start a campaign that offers money for everyone who reports a dog that is kept without a permit and voilá. But yes, there will always be some who slip through the cracks, nothing you can do about that, but banning an entire breed because of the actions of a few is just not fair. You don’t go and blanket bomb all of Somalia because some of their citizens kidnap oil tankers!

I can't imagine a newspaper printing something they could be sued for. Wouldn’t be the first time! There’s countless times newspapers have been successfully sued for printing lies! The owners of the dog were the only witnesses to it and if they lied there’s no way the newspaper could prove that, so they print whatever the owner said!

It will not be a few people either who do not comply with the law. As a further example just look at the people caught by BIB over the last 7 days driving without a licence that they should have had, thousands and thousands.

And what is the fee for not having a license, a few hundred Baht?! If the fee was 5 years in prison they would have licenses ASAP! Also, most people don’t want fighting breeds because of the stereotypes and misinformation around them plus the attacks that happen every now and then. The overall number of fighting breeds kept apart from the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in the UK are quite low in comparison to other breeds.

There’s no place in society for these animals. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the loss of an odd child is tolerable to them. Personally I would not accept the risk and such a dog would not be a family pet with small children around. Even if I did not have the children, I would worry if such a dog could do harm to neighbour's kids. So yes, I would get a different breed, a different one that also makes a 'lovely family pet', without having the reputation of killing the odd one or two of the kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the mean time the wild dog population continues to grow; attacks on children proliferate; motorbikes are brought crashing to the ground daily; bacteria/diseases continue to be spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
