Thai Celebs Slam PM's Flood Advice Prioritizing Humans Over Pets
Thai celebrities Ploy Chermarn, Ploy Horwang, Namtan Chalita, and Pooklook Fonthip criticized Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's flood advice that urged people to prioritize their own safety over pets. Animal lovers responded strongly, saying pets are family members and cannot be left behind. The controversy spread on social media after a clip of the interview was posted by the Nubnub.story Instagram page.
Ploy Chermarn commented, 'Pets are life too; it’s cruel and heartless to think that way.' Ploy Horwang said, 'Some people see their pets as their children, part of the family.' Namtan Chalita added a short remark, 'Oh come on, sir!' Pooklook Fonthip noted, 'Pets have lives and cannot look after themselves; why be so cruel?' The discussion over evacuating pets during floods continues to be a hot topic online.
