Guard sets dogs on boy for trespassing into farm

The police have summoned a security guard on a rubber farm in the southern province of Dong Nai for questioning after his dogs mauled a 13-year-old boy who entered the farm to collect latex Sunday.

Bui The Ngu, an employee of the Trang Bom Rubber Farm in Trang Bom District, admitted to setting two fierce German shepherd dogs on Vu Thanh Tam who was cowering behind a tree.

He let them maul the boy despite his pleas for mercy and left. He only returned after a while and ordered the dogs to stop, leaving the boy lying in the plantation, covered in blood and with dozens of bites his arms, legs, buttocks, and back.

His clothes were torn and he was covered in blood.

Ngu told the police he was ordered by the farm managers to take the dogs without muzzles during patrol.

Nguyen Dinh Nam, the farm’s director, declined to comment.

The farm provided Tam’s family VND1 million (US$51) for his treatment after the case was reported to the local police.

Last January a 55-year-old woman was mauled to death by a group of German shepherds while collecting fallen coffee beans on a coffee farm in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak.
