Target: Police General Kitrat Phanphet, Commissioner-General, Royal Thai Police, Bangkok, Thailand
Goal: Identify and prosecute whoever bound a young dog with industrial zip-ties, sealed him alive inside a weighted sack, and threw him into a canal to drown.
A sanitation crew noticed the heavy gunny sack floating near a water gate and pulled it aboard their debris-clearance vessel. When workers opened it, they discovered a young male Thai ridgeback mix. Forensic veterinary examinations determined that the dog had been securely bound with industrial zip-ties and was still alive when placed inside the weighted sack before being thrown into deep water.
The method makes this case especially chilling. The dog could not swim, claw free, or even struggle effectively against drowning. Police face the challenge of determining where the sack entered a canal running through a sprawling industrial area with numerous surveillance blind spots. Investigators are tracing the brand of zip-ties and serial markings on the sack to businesses using those materials. They are also reviewing recent missing-pet reports and seeking dashboard-camera footage from truck drivers who were near canal bridges overnight. No suspect has been identified, and no court has established criminal liability.
Someone may recognize this dog. Someone may also recognize the materials used to kill him. Every available lead should be pursued until investigators establish what happened. Once identified, if the evidence confirms deliberate drowning, whoever carried out this act should face the strongest appropriate punishment available under Thai law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Commissioner-General Kitrat,
The circumstances surrounding a young dog found dead from drowning are profoundly disturbing. Veterinary evidence indicates that he was bound with industrial zip-ties, placed alive inside a weighted sack, and thrown into a deep canal.
Investigators are already examining packaging materials, commercial suppliers, missing-pet records, and potential vehicle footage. These avenues should be pursued aggressively while authorities appeal for witnesses who may help identify the perpetrator.
Please ensure that this investigation receives the resources necessary to identify whoever caused this dog’s death. Once identified, pursue prosecution under every applicable provision and seek penalties proportionate to the suffering inflicted. A dog restrained so completely that he could not escape drowning deserves justice.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
