Help save the dogs
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to you because many dogs are unhealthy street dogs
and I’m worried that many are being killed and are in pain. As you may know,
it is important that we all help these sick dogs by finding them homes. I
think that Pattaya Mail should also help save dogs.
The first problem is many dogs are becoming very unhealthy because people
are driving fast and hitting them which leaves the dogs with broken bones.
Dogs are getting horrible food that they aren’t supposed to eat which is
also adding to their sickness. I think you should make a website that
donates healthy foods and helps street dogs to stop having babies by
sterilizing them.
The second problem is: lots of dogs are getting killed by people because
they are not property cared for. I think people should stop. Perhaps you
could start a press campaign to help promote the neediness of these poor
creatures.
The last problem is that dogs are getting lost from their owners, so we
should create ways to keep them safe. Last night I saw that some dogs that
are getting lost get a picture posted on the wall. This could be useful.
Also we should microchip all dogs. I think we should get to donate money for
this cause.
In conclusion, if we help dogs by keeping them safe at home and by donating
food and money, I think the world will be a munch better place!
Sincerely,
Plaeng Issada Duangsamosorn

Public safety issue
Editor;
Re: Overloaded ferry (PM Mailbag, Wednesday, 06 November 2013) - This is a
public safety issue. How about the training of Thai pilots, food inspectors,
construction inspectors, train safety equipment, etc? Thais do not want to
be criticised by foreigners and love to say we do not understand the Thai
way. What they do not understand is that we do understand the Thai way.

At last an
objective report
Editor;
Re: Ferry captain high on drugs during accident killing 6 tourists (PM
Tuesday, 05 November 2013) - At last an objective report of the present
situation. It should be pointed out that ALL sea-going activities are
compromised in Pattaya, esp. the parasailing, visible recently when a
tourist was dragged into the towing boat propeller in sight of her husband.
Insurance, what insurance! It is quite clear that all (legal) authority is
lost within Pattaya.

The debate rages on
Editors:
Dana (Mailbag, Nov 8-l5) argues that it’s sugar not meat which destroys
human health. Yet in that same letter Dana acknowledges the study in the
Journal of the American Medical Association which noted that vegetarians
seem to live longer than meat-eaters. In other words, Dana’s own letter
refutes his own claim!
He also wants to know why vegetarians make a moral issue out of this. Just
as I think it would be immoral to slaughter humans because some people may
like the way they taste, I also feel it’s immoral to slaughter cows just
because Dana loves to eat cheeseburgers!

Polish couple - nicest people anyone could ever meet
Editor;
Re: Ferry captain high on drugs during accident killing 6 tourists (PM
Tuesday, 05 November 2013) - The Polish couple were 62 and 60, not 47. Both
selfless doctors from a small town in Poland, and both of them were two of
the nicest best people anyone could ever meet. The tragedy of this is
monumental; the daughter and son they leave behind will never be the same. I
hope some justice comes of this, and I can only hope this sort of thing can
be avoided in the future.

Water problems
on Soi Nernplabwan
Editor;
Can anyone at City Hall or the Water Dept please explain to me why we still
have to suffer 2-3 days with no water in the house?
With all the rain we are having, and the reservoir not empty, what is the
excuse?
I have a new home on Soi Nernplabwan, and still have to bathe the up-country
style bucket baths from water saved in garbage cans, when water is running.
No excuse for this.
The only good part of this is my water bill is very low. They can’t charge
you when no water is running through the meter.
