web DeskA female engineer, fed up, called Sai Mai Must Survive after her neighbor let her dog defecate around for years. She complained to the mayor of the sub-district administrative organization, who told her to accept the situation because she is friends with the dog owner.
A female engineer traveled from Saraburi Province to complain to Mr. Ekkapop Lueangprasert, advisor to the Minister of Interior and founder of the Sai Mai Must Survive page. She said that she bought this house from the previous owner 3 years ago. The other party was a neighbor across the street who had one dog and one cat. They often let the dog poop in front of the house without cleaning it up. During that time, the other party’s cat came into her house and hit a flower pot until it broke. So she wrote a message on a piece of paper for her neighbor saying, ‘Please keep an eye on the cat. It hit a flower pot until it broke last night.’
After that, the other party cursed at me all the time. It was abusive and every word was vulgar. So I went
to file a complaint at Nong Kae Police Station, but the investigator told me that I had to go to the Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO) chief because the road in front of my house was under the SAO’s responsibility. After that, I called the SAO chief, and he promised to come down to inspect the area.
After that, I made a vinyl sign and put it in front of my house that said, ‘Do not let dogs poop in front of your house.’ This made the neighbors very angry. They cursed back, ‘Dogs poop on public roads. If you don’t want dog poop in your house, close the door.’ But even if I close the house, their cats will jump over the fence and poop in my house. There are dogs that come to poop in 4 houses. After I reported it to the police and informed the mayor of the sub-district administrative organization, at first the mayor spoke to me very nicely. But when he found out that one of the dog owners was a policeman and a friend of mine, he spoke badly to me. He told me to accept the situation because I came lat
er. He didn’t want to fight with ten dog owners to solve the problem for me alone. He told me to go report it to the police and to report it to the Ombudsman Center.
Over the past 3 years, I have reported to the police 4 times and filed a complaint at the Damrongtham Center 5 times, but have not received justice or any action taken. I have now hired a lawyer to take legal action against the neighbors, and am in the process of collecting evidence.
After the incident, I went to file a complaint against the mayor of Nong Charoek Subdistrict Administrative Organization for the offense under Section 157 for neglect of duty. However, it has been more than 2 months and there has been no progress. In addition, the owner of the house has continued to curse at me.
Today is Sunday, a holiday. If I didn’t come to complain to Sai Mai Must Survive, I would have to listen to my neighbors scolding me all day. And it’s not just the neighbor’s dog that comes to poop in front of my house. There are 3 other neighbors nearby t
hat also let their dogs come to poop. It might be because they still have the same smell of other dogs, so they come to poop. But I’m bothered by the neighbor’s dog that comes to poop every day. Plus, the dog owner comes to yell at me every day. That’s why I came to complain today.
In addition, the female engineer who was the victim also said that she wanted both her and the other party to see a psychiatrist together and let the doctor examine who was truly mentally ill. In addition, she asked the previous owner of the house who had lived there for more than 20 years and had the same problem, so she solved the problem by selling the house.
Mr. Ekkapop revealed that in this case, he personally thinks that raising pets is something that can be done, but the owner should be responsible and take care of the pet so that it does not cause trouble or annoyance to others. What happened is not something that should be accepted. The speaker must accept his own words because it is considered an offense under Section 1
57. He will follow up on the progress of the police prosecution. In this case, if the pet owner is warned and fined every time he is found guilty, the problem will be over. After this, he will coordinate with the Superintendent of Nong Kae Police Station to file a complaint against the pet owner for different offenses and different times.
