webfact Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Picture: Daily News A three year old girl has become the latest little victim of a savage and unprovoked attack from a neighbor's Pit Bull dog. Piano was playing happily without a care in the world on her toy car out front of her house in Ban Ya Phraek, Muang, Samut Prakan on an evening last week. Out of nowhere the beast - that some same make adorable family pets - attacked. Her arm was torn to shreds requiring twenty stitches, four nights in hospital and medical fees between 80-90,000 baht followed, reported Daily News. Picture: Daily News The parents said they were around but couldn't prevent the attack. They chased the dog away and said it was lucky they were there or they feared what might have happened to Piano. CCTV caught the moment of the attack. But there was worse. Every time that the little girl hears the sound of the dog barking she is terrified and can't sleep. She begged to leave home and go and stay with her grandmother and parents Kanphon, 34, and Sirimas, 33, had to give in. The two owners of the dog agreed to pay restitution and secured their home better. The dog had got out of a gate not properly closed. But the parents want the dog gone from the moo baan where there are many children. Only one of the owners agrees. Police reports have been filed and the juristic person is facing a petition from householders. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-16 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Surelynot Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 Certain breeds need to to phased out as they have been in Germany (they chose the wrong breeds, but that is by the by). Dogs should be chipped and wormed Owners should have to pay a license fee that covers training for both them and their dog (mainly for them). No dogs should be caged like in the photo. All dogs should have a ID collar and, when in public, be on a lead. Any dogs not conforming to all the above should be impounded and re-licensed to new owners or destroyed. 14 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a bulldog, which is a very lazy British breed that is very harmless. It surprises me the animal was able to run in the heat, normally they would pass out due to health issues and the short nose. But as always the newspapers know what sells: "pitbull". If there was a local CNN in Thailand they would say it was due to Trump and white supremacy, because then people click the article, which is exactly what newspapers want. Informing people comes second to money. This dog was obviously not properly socialized and supervised. The owners are 100% responsible. There is no need to outlaw certain dog breeds or put them down, maybe they should think about putting down bad dog owners. 6 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bob12345 Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 Nothing is "safe", thats why you should try to raise your dogs and your kids in such a way they can normally function in society. If you don't do that, either with your dog or kid, others will pay the consequences. Trying to remove all things "not safe" is futile, there are millions of things "not safe". Even living in a pod, eating bug-burgers, and letting the government hold your hand at every step is not safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up the statists, in the USA it's around 400k a year bitten by dogs and several killed, Pitt Bulls and aggressive cross breads at the top of the list of attackers.

Dogs bring no positives when they attack or kill, just as cars dont bring positives when they drive over your head and kill you. Ban cars also now? And sitting behind your computer brings no positives either when you get a heart attack from lack of movement and die, now also ban thaivisa?

Popular Post malathione Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 Dogs are wonderful creatures and the aggressive breeds can and do make great pets given an experienced and responsible owner. That said, there is a dearth of responsible and experienced owners and most of these dogs are bought by people who want to awe and compensate for phal--c failings, unfortunately. In addition, there are many irresponsible breeders of these breeds, breeders who are not interested in breeding out undesirable traits such as overtly aggressive behavior. Very unfortunate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ALLSEEINGEYE Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 doesn't matter what breed the dog is, putting a name to it just takes the focus away from the fact that any dog that attacks a human in such a viscous way needs to be put down. I love dogs and sometimes a dog might accidentally nip at a child causing injury, but this was not a nip. If the parents didn't react so quickly I have no doubts that child would have been killed. Put this dog down and sue the <deleted> outta the owners. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you mean we make an assessment of the pro's and con's of having certain items? That sounds very reasonable I might say. Pets are expensive: not just the buying them but also feeding them, buying toys, and the VET bills which are directly tied to the size (weight) of the dogs. Pets also cost a lot of effort and time: they need to be walked daily and need to be trained. You need to clean up their poo and look after them a lot. I take my dogs for a 1 hour walk in the morning already for example, and walk them once or twice later on the day for a shorter period of time. Wouldn't you agree that people only spend so much time and money on dogs if they "get" something back? Like enjoyment, social interactions with others, a reason to go out daily and walk in nature, friendship, etc? And won't you think those things in life are part of "functioning well"? Like we can all live in pods, eat brown liquid food to stay alive, and work 16 hours per day, but that wont be fun right? It would be "killing" our spirit and will to live. It appears dogs (and other pets) help with that. Doesn't that sound great? Society can actually "function" without TV, entertainment, alcohol, variety in food, movies, comfortable chairs, warm water, massages, the freedom to pick your own clothes, a weekend where you don't have to work, etc. But we can probably agree that these things make life worthwhile. Right? So purely looking if a society can function without it should not be a very strong argument in this discussion. Edit: you mention "dangerous" dogs, which is completely subjective.

Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Who is at fault. 1) Owner for allowing the dog to roam freely. 2) Parents of child for allowing child to play on the street. So both are at fault as far as I am concerned. We have young kids, they play in the front yard which has a large gate to keep out dogs/people and it's locked, to add, we are always in the front yard watching them play. No excuses, kids are your responsibility to keep an eye on them all the time, if the house they live in was lacking a yard area, then move to a bigger one, or take the kid to a park and watch them all the time. Owner of dog should be prosecuted, fined and pay all damages, hospital bills and furthermore phycologists bills till the kid can learn to relax around dogs. The owners should also be cautioned or fined for failing to watch their kid in a secure environment, but fat chances of that happening, seriously some parents are unfit to be parents.

A totally dumbed down strawman argument which shouldn’t warrant a response.... There is no need for anyone to keep one of these breeds of dog. Any dog should be restrained or not able to escape the property. Innocent people and children should never be at risk from any dog. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, the parents of the child said they were there (around) but couldn’t prevent the attack. Quote So both are at fault as far as I am concerned. Wrong. Even if the child was on the street alone. there should not be any dogs around which could attack them. IF the dog attacks an adult, is it the adults fault for being in the street ? Quote We have young kids, they play in the front yard which has a large gate to keep out dogs/people and it's locked, to add, we are always in the front yard watching them play. And, as in this case, a dog can run up and attack a child and you couldn’t stop them, especially one of these dogs. This is why only certain breeds are permitted in some more developed nations and the dangerous dogs act is in place; dogs must be chipped, restrained and muzzled when out in public. Quote No excuses, kids are your responsibility to keep an eye on them all the time, if the house they live in was lacking a yard area, then move to a bigger one, or take the kid to a park and watch them all the time. Kids are your responsibility, but you can’t carry them around out of reach of an attacking dog at all times. When I am out the front of our house I supervise my son riding his bike up the street of a moo-baan.... Do you think I can prevent a dog from running out and attacking him??? only the owners can do that. Foruntately there are no unrestrained dogs in my moo-baan... If there were I’d get the juristic committee involved. Take the kid to a park... and risk exposure to a Pit-Bull, or any other type of terrier or dog which would normal be on the dangerous dogs list, or even a soi dog.... I can’t even take my son to the beach without annoying and sometimes aggressive dogs being a problem. Quote Owner of dog should be prosecuted, fined and pay all damages, hospital bills and furthermore phycologists bills till the kid can learn to relax around dogs. 100% agree and the dog should be destroyed. It has proven it will attack a child. Quote The owners should also be cautioned or fined for failing to watch their kid in a secure environment, but fat chances of that happening, seriously some parents are unfit to be parents. Disagree with that - the owners were with their child in the street. Perhaps you want the parents fined for allowing their child to play ????

Popular Post simon43 Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 I'd happily come over and chop the head off that dog with an axe... I have zero time for snowflake doggie-lovers who try to defend vicious animals. When I lived in the countryside in the UK, every day I wrung the necks of countless crows that I caught in a Larsen trap, to ensure that songbirds did not fall prey to them. This is a 'dog-eat-dog' world, not some wokie-world. I hope someone comes along and dispatches that dog asap ???? 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
