    Good on them for helping
    more begging for funds under the guise of crowdfunding.

    it is a ridiculous scenario.

    there is no shortage of competent veterinarians in thailand, its just another example of the "pity porn" that people use to gain sympathy and more to the point, money, from an ever more gullible public swamped by an avalanche of this bilge thanks to twitter, facebook and dumbfuck journo hacks looking for the easiest stories to get printed.

    it was all so much simpler when it was just silly nigerians.


    send me money, ive crashed me bike whilst drunk on kos samui. send me money, my boyfriend left me and i need a new tit implant. send me money, ive found a mangy dog and i want to take it to las vegas. send me money, you stupid person reading my crowdfunding page.

    Your comment comes as no surprise, given your antipathy towards similar efforts to repatriate a stricken Brit in Thailand with no health insurance.

    Mind you, raising funds for a dog instead of a human in distress (heaps of desperate humans around needing support and medical attention) is perfectly obscene.

    Yet, doesn't seem to become old amongst some circles.....who prefer to champion and promote such nonsense.
