Temple Candid Camera to Spy on Dumping of Pets
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's most revered Buddhist temple is installing closed circuit television cameras in a bid to stop the dumping of pets, a local newspaper reported on Thursday.
Officials at the 219-year-old Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok have set up the cameras hoping to catch a growing number of people dumping unwanted cats and dogs which are leaving droppings in areas where thousands of worshippers kneel and pray.
"Offenders captured on camera will be banned from our compound," temple worker Thirarat Chandra-songkham told the Nation newspaper.
Buddhists revere all life and shady temples throughout tropical Thailand are traditional sanctuaries for stray cats and dogs.
