I am sure that NR will already be familiar with this news item and it seems more relevant to post it here than in the news section.

From the Hua HIn Today newspaper:

Hua Hin Municipality to promulgate Municipal Law on dog(s) feeding or releasing
Supansa Klaiwaad

Mr. Siraphan Kamonpramote, the Hua Hin Mayor, revealed that recently Hua Hin Municipality had passed a measure to control the feeding or releasing of dogs within Hua Hin municipality zone to promote a proper standard of living for civilians as well as for preventing civilians from being in harms way due to annoyance and germs caused by dogs. To proceed such prevention, it required the enactment of the Hua Hin Municipality Law according to section 29 of Public Health Act B.E. 2535 (1992) and section 60 of Municipality Act B.E. 2496 (1953) with additional correction of the 5th copy B.E. 2510 (1967).

The draft of Municipality Law on dog(s) feeding or releasing B.E. 2550 (2007) was approved by the municipality council in the 2nd common meeting of 2007 on Monday 14th May, 2007, for being presented to the Prachuap Kirikhan Provincial Governor to consider and approve such a draft in further detail. The Municipality law covers dog(s) feeding, dog’s registration and dog(s) releasing.

Moreover, class 3, provision no. 19 says that if any dog owner desires not to feed and look after his dog anymore, he has to give his dog with its ID card to a new owner instead and the new owner has to notify his dog’s adoption to the Registration Department, Animal Disease Control Section, Division of Public Health and Environment or any other places informed by the Hua Hin Mayor within 30 days as counted from the adoption day.

In the case of no new owner, a dog’s owner has to give his dog to the Municipality and carry on paying for the responsibility of his dog providing the dog with food as declared by the Mayor. Furthermore, in the temporary clause, provision no. 28 says a dog’s owner can be exempted from paying money for the responsibility of his dog (as mentioned in provision no. 19) if he gives his dog to the Municipality within 180 days as counted from the effective date (Sept. 14th 2007) of Hua Hin Municipality Law.

Now, the Prachuap Khirikhan Provincial Governor has already considered and approved the new law according to the authority of section 60 of Municipality Act B.E. 2496 (1953). From now on, the Municipality hereafter promulgates Municipal Law on dog(s) feeding or releasing of B.E. 2550 (2007) to be lawfully effective for civilians all over the Hua Hin Municipality zone.
