Authorities in Koh Samui are actively searching for a gunman who fatally shot a four-year-old dog named Lucky in a residential area, sparking public outrage and calls for justice. The incident occurred on February 17, with the dog’s owner, 35-year-old Wiramaya, reporting that Lucky was found with a bullet wound to the head after venturing out for a morning walk, never to return. Police have revealed that the bullet came from a .22 caliber firearm and are interrogating local residents who own such weapons to identify the shooter.
Wiramaya expressed deep sorrow over the loss of her beloved pet, stating that her daughter is heartbroken, having grown up with the dog. While some community members condemn the act and sympathize with the family, others question Wiramaya’s choice to let Lucky roam freely outside. The ongoing investigation mirrors a previous high-profile case from December where another dog named Lucky was killed in a similar manner, raising concerns about animal welfare and public safety on the island.
