The Bangkok food vendor who stabbed a dog to death because it had reportedly bitten his son was sentenced to two months in detention Wednesday in accordance with the Prevention of Animal Cruelty and Provision of Animal Welfare Act.
According to the lawsuit, Anont Meksan had on April 13 beaten the dog, “Chao Khao”, with a metal pipe and then stabbed it with a Samurai sword in a rage because it had reportedly bitten his son, which resulted in the child having to get five injections. The dog belonged to a resident in Soi Ramkhamhaeng.
Anont confessed to the wrongdoing in court and the judge halved the original sentence of four months in jail and changed the term used to “detention” instead of “imprisonment”.
The Phra Nakhon Nua district court also granted him bail for a guarantee of Bt18,000, which was paid by his relatives.
