Teach kids to respect animals
Recently I was at Tha Phae Gate watching tourists feeding pigeons. I saw a boy chasing the pigeons and trying to kick them.
If one of his kicks had landed it could have serious harmed a bird. Yet his parents were standing a few feet away doing nothing to stop him. Another time I saw two boys chase a three-legged dog into the street and it was nearly hit by a car. It made me wonder how many dog attacks are provoked. I blame the parents. Children should be taught to respect animals.
