    2 dogs found dead in Pattaya, owner suspects poisoning

    2 dogs have been discovered dead in Pattaya, a city in Chon Buri. The owner of the dogs suspects they were poisoned. The dogs, a golden Labrador about 8 months old, and a pit bull about 5 months old were found dead in front of a house in Nongprue.


    Residents discovered the dogs foaming at their mouths and seemingly immobile. The same residents that found the dogs say they also found a bag full of bluish chemicals and fresh meat close by. 21 year old Nawin Pmee Khun, the dog’s owner and local boxer, lodged a formal complaint with police over the matter. Nawin says anyone that would kill a dog is evil and must be brought to justice.


    “I have raised both of these dogs since they were babies. They never harmed or bit anyone. However, they did like to bark at strangers and were protective of our property and anyone around the area. Regardless, that is not a reason to harm an animal”, Nawin told the Pattaya News.


    Another dog, belonging to a different owner, was also allegedly poisoned but was saved due to the intervention of health officials. Nawin and other residents claim that dogs have been poisoned before in their neighbourhood. The locals say motorcycle thieves may have killed the dogs to prevent them from barking and alerting the owners to their motorcycles being stolen. Pattaya police are investigating the incident.

    Or perhaps the locals were just fed up with their barking.

    I never allow my big and potentially dangerous dog past the front gate without being on a leash.

    I am also aware that poisoning is always a possibility as illegally entering the property with him on the loose is impossible without serious injury being the end result for the intruder.

    I don't see why this is even news.
    Two houses away from ours there is a guy who has a bunch of dogs, He as them tied up.
    He leaves in the morning for work, and comes back late at night. The dogs bark and cry all day. All the neighbors are complain but the guy with the dogs will not do anything, neither will the authorities.
    ...It seems working people in Thailand , concerned that their property will be robbed while they are away, use dogs as cheap burglar alarm , but they fail to properly take care of them.
    In conversations (with the help of my wife) I had with the neighbors in our soi,they said the offending dogs are so poorly fed and they will soon be dead, but if they are not I am sure one of them will hasten the process.
    If it is not done already, it is because they are good Buddhists and they don't want this on their karma.
    Dogs, and how they are treated in Thailand is a big problem IMO.

    PS: we have four dogs, they are all very well taken care of, never go out of the property unless they are on a leash
