Kids’ Wisdom on Street Dogs


In celebration of tomorrow’s National Children’s Day in Thailand, the Bangkok Post newspaper asked children how they would solve the country’s problems. Here are a couple of answers I liked about soi (street) dogs:

Kaew, aged 10 said, “I’d leave an unwanted dog at a place that takes care of them. Don’t discard them at temples. The monks might ordain them.”

Gig, aged 6 said, “I would feed them every day and take them to hospital because they’re probably sick. I love them. People who throw away their dogs should be spanked.”

Public spanking may well be a better solution than registration schemes.
