A man was savaged to death by three pit bulls in the Isaan province of Udon Thani. The owner of the dogs is distraught and revealed he will find a new home for the dogs to avoid the same fate in the future.
Pornchai Ritmaha was attacked by three pit bulls last night at about 8 pm. The 47-year-old man was walking past a neighbour’s house when the three pit bulls suddenly attacked him.
Pornchai had many wounds all over his body but the pit bulls were particularly brutal to his genitals, arms, and legs. They tore the main artery and made him lose a lot of blood and he later died in the hospital.
The owner told the media that he was not at home when the incident happened, speculating that someone must have left the front door open allowing the dogs to attack Pornchai.
