    Watchdog Thailand Rescues 50 Dogs from American in Chiang Mai

    Watchdog Thailand a non-profit organization has rescued 50 Watchdog Thailand from an alleged puppy mill run by a 73 year-old American man. Most of the dogs are found in terrible conditions and many had died from illnesses or starvation.


    The owner American James Sterling claimed the dogs were kept as pets and he was not breeding them for sale. However evidence indicated otherwise. The Thai Ridgeback dogs were found in tiny cages were stacked on top of each other.

    The dogs had no space to play or exercise. Their waste was everywhere, and some were still left where they had died.


    According to Thai Residents Watchdog Thailand representatives went to Chiang Mai police to file animal cruelty charges against the 73 year old American. They claim has Sterling has been breeding Thai Ridgebacks to sell and export to buyers abroad.


    Sterling said he contacted Watchdog himself asking for help. Claiming that he had become to ill and could no longer take care of his “Pets” – more than 50 dogs.


    Watchdog went the location and discovered the dogs living in extremely unhygienic conditions. Most had scabies and were starving. They immediately contacted the police and the Chiang Mai Department of Livestock and Development.


    Officials were then sent to rescue the Thai Ridgeback dogs and move them to the Save Elephant Foundation in Mae Rim, Chiang Rai. Upon arrive Sterling refused to give up 5 dogs that were still healthy.


    The foundation disagreed with his demands saying they believed he lacked the ability to take care of the dogs.

    History also shows he has been involved in animal cruelty to his own pets many times. Watchdog realized that they needed police involvement in the case to help save the remaining 5 dogs.


    Watchdog Thailand told Chiang Mai police that Sterling lived alone and was currently ill. He asked for help from a foreign volunteer at Watchdog who then passed the information to the organization.


    Furthermore animal lovers from abroad have given information on Sterling. They stated that he has a past in animal cruelty and his dogs were mistreated or left to die after they served no purpose.


    According to his Facebook Page Sterling has been selling dogs for a long time. Watchdog Thailand says he has been doing so without any proper license to breed dogs. Now Watchdog wants to bring all the dogs into their care. The Chiang Mai Department of Livestock and Development agreed stating Sterling was incapable of taking responsibility for the remaining 5 dogs.


    Sterling told authorities that he contacted Watchdog for help and he has never bred dogs for sale but they kept on having puppies. He has also filed a report with the police claiming that Watchdog stole his dogs.

    He has never bred dogs for sale yet there is some woman in Bangkok involved who ships them for him according to the goz on Facetube.

    And now business has dried up he's stopped feeding them.

    Fucking arsehole, they should feed them with his corpulent cadaver.

    All breeders are skum, most of them just shoot the biatch when she is too old to have puppies...
    Trade of live dogs and cats should be banned.
