RE: Dog hit by a car and left to die: An all too common story in Thailand

Terrible that people don't care enough to check if the animal is alright or not. Here if we see this the local vet gets the animal dropped off and he takes it from there. Thailand sounds as though they have no feelings towards animals in general and I am wondering if it is cultural or not.

that's a tough one to answer. I think that most people and especially the Buddhists have a spiritual obligation to care but just like a lot of things in religion some might tend to ignore these obligations if nobody is looking.

The vet that we deal with would probably do what you are talking about as well and depending on the situation, might not even expect payment in return. I don't hear about this happening very often though, unfortunately.
