aussielover Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Not sure where to put this but I thought canberra people should be aware. Animal emergency centre and Lost Pet database have reported 2 separate incidents of suspected poisonings today. So far I can only find facebook information. Suspected poisonings have occurred in the Charnwood area with up to 4 dogs reported to have died. Ratbait is the suspected cause. Also in Bonner, baited meatballs were thrown into a dogs yard- luckily the owner saw and the dog is ok. There have been other reports of poisonings in this area as well. It looks like snail bait was used in this case. Please keep an eye on your pets, and report any suspicious behaviour. https://www.facebook.com/aeccanberra https://www.facebook.com/CanberraLostPetDabase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliwake Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 What a psycho! Glad they've got him though. The penalty doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent though... Under the Crimes ACT 1900, anyone who leaves poison that endangers or is unlikely to endanger the life of a domestic animal faces a maximum penalty of $1000 and imprisonment for 6 months.

I thought the same. I'll cheer myself up with the thought that there are a lot of blokes that like dogs in prison. :) Edited July 7, 2014 by Haredown Whippets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
