Thai animal protection group protests German's killing of dog

A Thai animal protection group on Friday protested outside the German embassy in Bangkok against the stabbing death of a dog last month allegedly by a German national.

 

About 50 members of the Call for Animal Rights Thailand and Animal Lovers in Thailand gathered outside the embassy to pass a warning letter to Gert Alfred Grewe, 65, a resident of Thailand who was accused of killing a golden retriever last month after it attacked his pet Rottweiler.
 
Veena Jitassa, a spokeswoman for the group, charged that Grewe had stabbed the dog 17 times and said the organisation wants him to have a mental examination.//DPA
