Veterinarian Chaiwat Yothakol, Inspector General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, who previously held the position of Deputy Director General of the Department of Livestock Development, posted on Facebook that “Over the past several days I have received many calls from well-wisher friends calling to report the news that Someone talked about the issue of illegal pigs, citing the name “Dr. Ood”, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Livestock Development. Causing misunderstandings. Please confirm!!! saying, “It’s definitely not me.” Now everyone calls me ‘Inspector Aod’ when I was the Deputy Director-General of the Department of Livestock Development. Everyone calls me ‘Deputy Aod’. No one calls me ‘Dr. Aod’. It dates back to 2016 when I was a provincial livestock farmer. It would be an honor. Or maybe they saw that I was no longer qualified to be a doctor. (Inject the dog’s injection Treating little cats is no longer like in the past, haha) and I’m ready to prove the truth that ‘Dr. Ood’ in the news ‘is definitely not me’. Thank you.”
