To top it off I've never seen any of my neighbors give any affection to their dogs, play with them or anything of the sorts.
Some of the poor bastards aren't even let into the yard but always remains outside the gate barking at people passing by day in and day out.
I'm really not too sure about the 95% treating their dogs very well, maybe 1%?
I live in a middle class area.
My wife has a tiny cute toy poodle, so we know all the other dog owners in the neighborhood.
They are uniformly well looked after and vaxxed for rabies at least. I know this because a kid got nipped teasing a dog and no worries the mutt was vaxxed.
When I asked it was like well yeah, duh- ofc it is vaxxed for rabies.
Lots get heartworm meds and the owners know about parvo.

The Cambodia you live in I suspect is not typical to the vast majority of the country, where most households have a half dozen mutts kicking around, surviving on rice and scraps and what they can scavenge while roaming loose.nemo wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 7:47 pmI must live in a different Cambodia to you.ItWasntMe wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 3:03 pmDon't forget keeping them on a diet consisting of rice and whatever they can find in the trash.vivathedivas wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 1:28 pmIf one can call completely ignoring their constant barking, letting them roam free, not getting them innoculated etc. treating them very wellThegreatreset wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 12:05 pmI said, it is not!

The dogs are kept to sound the alert of intruders and keep the rats down, and are not vaccinated in any way shape or form (probably taint the flesh, spoiling the flavor) and are invariably unnamed.
Where I am, a dog nipping a kid is a death sentence for the dog regardless if vaccinated or not.

Maybe- it is Khmer Chen mostly here.The Cambodia you live in I suspect is not typical to the vast majority of the country
Nobody has 6 dogs around my neighborhood.
Nor do they where my GF family lives in SV- a very insalubrious area.
Sounds like you guys live in provincial countryside.

Yeah, good advice if you want to get killed or end up in jail.

They bark themselves horse
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.

Where I live only a few dogs are vaccinated. Others simply aren't. A dog (or cat) bite will result in an expensive visit to the private health center for some jabs @ 100k riels a piece. Many aren't aware of rabies though, and others sill simply take the risk because of the high price of the jabs. The government health center in my town doesn't have rabies vaccinations, so no freebies or cheapies, even for the poorest.Chad Sexington wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 8:39 pm The Cambodia you live in I suspect is not typical to the vast majority of the country, where most households have a half dozen mutts kicking around, surviving on rice and scraps and what they can scavenge while roaming loose.

Biting a kid might be death sentence, but sometimes it isn't unless it's their own kid. Attacking own family is a death sentence. Eating chicken or other livestock is a death sentence without exception too. The stories of dogs scraping by aren't totally true, because if they get too hungry they will prey on the livestock scavenging around the house, and that's the end of it.
About the taste of dog meat, not every Cambodian fancies dog meat. However, when a dog is killed because it broke the law the meat is never lost. Sometimes sold, sometimes eaten by the family, but never wasted. Good thing environmental wise I'd say.

Ah yes, I forgot about Cambodia's enormous middle class population, that might just get the ratio of good owners up to 95%nemo wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 7:47 pmI live in a middle class area.ItWasntMe wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 3:03 pmDon't forget keeping them on a diet consisting of rice and whatever they can find in the trash.vivathedivas wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 1:28 pmIf one can call completely ignoring their constant barking, letting them roam free, not getting them innoculated etc. treating them very wellThegreatreset wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 12:05 pmI said, it is not!

I'm talking about Kampot, but to be fair the situation here has been getting way better over the years.
There is clearly less dogs around and the ones that roam about generally looks healthier.
Still, it's far from what I consider taking "very well" care of a dog, and I expect it's different when you go outside of tourist affected areas.
