Good news is Starbucks next to BigC is official open at 8am, but open at 7.30am.   :D:D:D

We tried the one in Chaweng next to McDonalds the other day.

Thanks for the info, we'll get ourselves to the Starbucks next to BigC early doors tomorrow.  

Do you know if they do coffee intravenously?

You're missing the point here entirely.

People are disgusted about the fact the dogs were given rat poison as a means to an end.  I'm sure you will agree that bleeding to death internally in agonising pain is a terrible way to die.
Are you ignorant to the fact that animals feel pain?  I also lived on a farm and saw animals put down (Horses shot, etc.) but that was a quick death, not a long drawn out one like poisoning.

In reference to your comments regarding the cat thrown in the bin.  Are you also ignorant to the fact animals feel fear as well?
How would you feel if a giant hand came out of the sky and threw you down a dark well, then left you there for 9 hours?  I bet you'd be crying like a baby.

Again, you're not reading posts correctly, you're skipping and reading the parts you want to see. Just to make it easier for you:

Original Post:

"Aug 19, Thursday
After the spate of recent dog attacks we called an emergency meeting to form an action plan.
The result of the meeting was a plan to put the dogs to sleep with some pills and then transport them to the local dog/cat rescue center.
We contacted our neighbour Mr. Dam to ask for permission for giving sleeping pill and he consented that it was a reasonable course of action given recent events."

My Comments:

"They should have gone to one of the local vets and got hold of some proper sedatives like Acepromazin, Atravet or even Ketamine to sedate the dogs.
They probably gave the dogs diazepam, that wouldn't work on them."

The plan didn't work because they didn't give the dogs the proper sedatives.

I actually have two dogs myself and they have both been neutered.  The obvious solution here on Samui would be to take them off the streets and neuter them one by one.

H2oDunc - I suggest you read more carefully, "The result of the meeting was a plan to put the  dogs to  sleep with some pills and then transport them to the local  dog/cat  rescue center.."

The first plan of action they decided to take would  probably have been the best one:

Rat poison causes as agonising death.  It stops the blood clotting so the animal bleeds to death internally.
