What is the reason for the high number of stray dogs in Thailand? What measures are being taken to address this issue?

1. Buddhism: Many Thais like my Dad did it first by releasing our dog (my dog that had the temper of a wolf he killed all our ducks and chicks and bit scores of strangers including a policeman) onto the temple ground rather than putting them down, ignoring our tearful cry. But my dog had a super brain- he miraculously walked back after a month trailing my Dad’s car… So my siblings and I were overjoyed and danced all night. My dad decided to keep him until Zap (our dog) passed and vowed not to do such an act.

NGOs and volunteer groups aim to catch and put the dogs to sleep— All hell breaks loose - everyone stands up “Over my dead body” from market vendors, monks, and kind-hearted Thais all over the country.

Thailand has a high population of stray dogs due to several underlying reasons:

I gave him everything. He said he loved me. Why?

6. Where to get food? Temple, being looked after by monks‘ daily food by going on an "alms round" food or from markets, garbage, and kind-hearted people give them food and allow them to survive better than pet dogs.

5. Street Dog Adaptability: like father like son, stray dogs in Thailand have adapted well to urban and rural environments alongside the homeless people— even Covid-19 crept in —so what? You can’t touch me- every homeless person lived on, so were all the dogs.

What measures are being taken to address this issue?— You tell me how?

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

2. Lack of Strict Animal Laws: This allowing stray and free-roaming pet dogs to reproduce and gave birth while unchecked—only for the public to rush to buy lottery numbers. Unwanted puppies are often left at temples, markets, or public places they grow up to become a tramp waiting for the Lady or a kind-hearted princess to adopt them.

Without going to the ‘Soi Dogs Foundation’ to hear them cursing and swearing about it - their reasons may not be the same as mine.

Let’s listen to reasons from a native Thai about your question:-for the high number of stray dogs in Thailand and why.

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?
