@chocolatescorpi - This is Thai language. And I am from Thailand. The story is all about the Animal Act in Thailand. Most of pet owners once they decide to abandon their pets. They usually dump or left them in Thai Buddhist Temple. And now most of Buddhist temples are so much stray cats and dogs. So under the Animal Act in Thailand, the owner will be punished accordingly if they left or abandon their pets at Temple. 😊
Ahh I thought it was Thai but then it didn't quite look right...
Thanks so much for getting back to me straight away because this is a topic that I am really interested in as I had an experience at Wildlife Friends of Thailand at Amphoe Thayang on temple grounds, when I was volunteering there a few years ago and someone left a stray kitten there who looks just like the kitten in the photo (I named her Suwei though I probably haven't spelt that right but I mean Beautiful, cause she was just so truly beautiful) and the owner tried to make me put her back out on the street, but just couldn't do it cause she had such a beautiful sweet soul and so snuck her in to the vet who knew someone in the village that would be able to rehome her.
Anyway, I like thst these owners will be punished, but then that brings up the question. If they know that they will be punished for leaving their unwanted pets at the temples, but they still want to get rid of them, that means that they will do other- even worse things to get rid of them.
Like dump them on the streets, or even kill them.
I don't understand why the temples can't take the abandoned pets to sanctuaries like Soi Dogs and so many others there instead.
Then everyone would be happy.
Kop Khun cup!
@chocolatescorpi - I am so great to hear that you was a volunteer for Wildlife Friends of Thailand.
In the photo of my post was the photo of a dog - https://www.komchadluek.net/news/local/433033 in
Royal Temple in Chiang Mai province that take care of abandon kitten. Tone is the name of a dog. By law leads to my concern as well for stray cats and dogs that the owner will find the way around to dump or left those pets in somewhere or even get worse. And if they left those pets nearby the community, the pets have high chance to survive.
The Animal Act was first enacted in Thailand on 2014, but no one takes any action on law enforcement that much since the beginning. Now Thais are very active on Social Media, those violent actions to animals especially pets will be reported to local authority and will be criticized heavily by the community that led to law enforcement so many cases.
Normally at all Temples in Thailand are always adoption those cats and dogs. For my understanding is that this cause of law to prohibit abandon pets at the temple to warning the owners. I myself a bit aggressive and anti the owners that don't have well financial but want to raise the pets for trashy fashion. Most of the cases of stray cats and dogs that being left behind because the owners can't afford to take care them. I means in financial way, time and attentive to the pets.
