More deaths in Thailand from rabies (rabies)
The Thai government is launching a campaign to warn Thai people about the consequences of rabies. A recent study shows that the number of deaths in humans and animals has increased.
The Protection and Disease Control Office advises owners to have their animals vaccinated. Many Thais deal with this rather laconically. Those who let their animals roam on the street increase the risk of infection.
In 2016, 14 people died from the consequences of a rabies infection, compared to 5 the year before. At least 70 suspicious carcasses were found in four provinces in the Northeast last year. In the same region, 29 dogs died in the first three months of this year. The actual number may be even higher because not all cases have been reported.
Rabies, also known as rabies, is a deadly infectious disease caused by a virus. Rabies can be transmitted to humans through the bite, scratch or lick of an infected animal. Infection leads to nerve symptoms.

Despite all the ways to combat rabies, it may be an option to shoot a large number of dogs. Hey, I'm a real animal lover, but when you see what some of those stray dogs look like, there is only 1 solution in my opinion,
I dare say that in my village in the isaan there are more dogs than people,
My 2 dogs are well looked after but most are too filthy to even pet them,
If you want to go for a walk in the early evening it is a must to take a stick with you. In the heat of the day they are dead on the road, but in the evening they are dangerous.
I'm sure this applies to all of Thailand. And who is going to vaccinate all those stray dogs???????
I assume the Protectio and desease Control Office is not going to pay for this
Buddhists are not allowed to kill animals. It could just be that that stray dog is your grandfather reincarnated.
I find that strange. Not a single dog is aggressive in the village where I live. Bark and threaten a little, but as soon as you react to it, they retreat.
Actually, I think most dogs here just behave naturally. We humans are not prey, they just guard their territory.
Contrary to dog behavior in urban areas. Dogs cannot behave naturally there.
Totally agree with Tony's point.
It is simply not normal anymore how many stray dogs are everywhere.
I am an avid cyclist and walker…but it is becoming more and more problematic with all those dogs.
I would applaud if the Thai government would make a serious effort to catch and put to sleep the countless stray dogs that look dangerous, aggressive and pitiful…this problem needs to be tackled urgently and energetically..!!!
Keep in mind that these types of dogs are better off in this way than the hopeless life they now lead.
When I used to live in Goa (yes, Catholic), in the spring the dogs were given a colorful ribbon by their owner and the rest were shot.
Problem solved!
In the past, dogs in the Netherlands had to be tagged, stray dogs without a tag ran the risk of being picked up by a dog catcher. Dogs are now chipped. In Thailand, the problem of aggressive stray dogs is getting bigger every year. Measures will have to be taken by the government. According to Buddhism, dogs should not be killed, but in practice that really happens. Just think of the dogs that are taken in large numbers to neighboring, including Buddhist countries, for human consumption. There you will literally find the dog in the pan.
In the deep south, relatively few dogs roam the streets, because Muslims do not like dogs. Yet I now know how to walk to the center and on which side of the road. Dogs are fairly stable so I know the 'dangerous parts' on the route.
I have now purchased such a BB Gun, and if such a bitch comes at me again, I will shoot.
Most honfen don't like me anymore
You only get really bothered by those mutts if you behave differently in their eyes. Go jogging. It then becomes an interval training because it is impossible to continue. The only way to calm those mutts is to stand still and continue walking at a pace that is normal for them. On Koh Samet 15 years ago the doctor on duty was already roaring through the village loudspeakers (gone now?) Keep your dogs inside. Well, he himself also walked in the morning and regularly received joggers with dog bites.
