A dog owner in the Pak Chong city of Nakhon Ratchasima was filmed dragging his animal while riding his bike along the street on Tuesday and was given a fine of 10,000 ringgit for animal abuse. &nbsp,

After people prosecutors charged the dog owner with animal cruelty, the Sikhiu Provincial Court originally sentenced Pannawit, 35, to a 20 000 baht fine. &nbsp,

According to his confession, the good was reduced to 10,000 baht. There was no prison name. When Watchdog Thailand Foundation posted the judge’s decision on its Facebook page on Thursday, the owner’s title was not made public.

After a movie tape of him dragging the puppy, tied to his vehicle, along the road in front of the Pak Chong city on Tuesday, there was a rumbling among the bloggers. A female vehicle helped to save the dog. The video, which went popular online, was posted by Twitter user Charuwan Phuangkham. &nbsp,

Before Pannawit used a wire to dangle his four-month-old doggie from his motorcycle along the side of the road for more than 600 meters, he had a fight with his boyfriend. A female driver who witnessed the incident intervened and demanded that he quit his bicycle. &nbsp,

Eventually, a Watchdog Thailand Foundation agent reported the dog’s owner to Pak Chong police for animal cruelty. &nbsp,

Pannawit admitted to dragging the puppy when he was called to the police station. He claimed that after the argument with his sweetheart, he was furious.

The owner of a dog dragging his canine with his bicycle along a highway in Nakhon Ratchasima is to be fined 10,000 baht by the Sikhiu Provincial Court.
