Animal-shelter employees lodge complaint against French employer for 'caging' them
Fifteen employees of The Sound of Animals shelter lodged a complaint against 50-year-old French employer Michael Chour at Ban Kruat police station in Buriram province on Tuesday (December 24), claiming he locked them in a kennel and forced them to kiss the dogs.
La-or Kaewprakon, one of the employees, said they were each forced to get into the kennel and kiss the dogs for 20 minutes to make the canines happy and less stressful despite the fact that many of the dogs have shown aggressive behaviour and have bitten them.
The shelter’s administrator and the owner’s secretary Konan Poompan said that 200 dogs were taken to the shelter. He claimed Chour repeatedly films videos of stray dogs and asks for donations.
Konan added that he had to speak out against Chour’s treatment of his employees, which he called unfair. He claimed Chour has not paid their salaries on time lately and his salary was cut by 50 per cent, so he wanted officials to inspect the shelter.
