Record Sentencing In Animal Cruelty Case

Soi Dog Foundation Sep 22, 2016 NGOs, Soi Dog Foundation 0 comments

North Bangkok Municipal Court has just handed down an unprecedented 18 month sentence without suspension in a horrific case of animal cruelty.

The case involved a man offering to adopt cats on social media, whom he then tortured and killed. In total, nine cats lost their lives at the hands of this monster.

The man was charged under Thailand�s Animal Welfare Law (which was only introduced as recently as December 2014).

Under the current law, the maximum sentence that can be imposed is two years� imprisonment and/or a fine of 40,000 Thai baht. To date, the maximum sentence has never been imposed but this sentencing of 18 months with no suspension is a small step in the right direction.

Soi Dog Foundation will continue to keep the pressure on in our campaigning for tougher sentencing in animal cruelty cases.
