An 18-year-old boy has died after being mauled to death by three American Bully dogs owned by his brother at their family home in Lop Buri province in central Thailand.
Pol Maj Nattapong Wongwang told Thai media police and rescue workers were called to a house in Village 3, Tambon Tai Talat, Mueang District, Lop Buri Province.
Upon arrival they found Adisak Chansakulnee, 18, dead with bite marks to his skull and limbs, both his ears had been torn off. He had been dead for more than 12 hours before his mother and brother, who tried to phone him, returned home to find his body with the three dogs in the same room.
Footage from a security camera in the room showed Adisak went in to play with the American Bully dogs shortly before they began to attack and bite him. Adisak fled to a room but failed to close the door and the dogs followed him into another room and bit him to death.
Mr Abhisit the victim’s older brother told police that his American Bully dogs had never been this aggressive before and his brother had always played with them.
He said they may have attacked because his younger brother did not play with him properly, so they started to be aggressive and bite. When they smelled blood, they became reckless and could not stop.
The American Bully dogs, named Fino and Cesar were one and half years old, and weigh 18-20 kilograms, the third was their mother named Tangkas, she was 4 years old.
He went on to say that the dogs were with him in Bangkok but he had returned home with the dogs to care for his ailing mother. He said his dogs had never shown any signs of aggression before and that his younger brother fed them as he was working.
Presently the bully dogs are kept in a kennel for an examination inspection by a veterinarian from the Bureau of Quality Control of Livestock.
Mr Abhisit said he would find the Bully dogs a new home with people that are experienced with the breed.
