Someone in a Dog park in Mesa, AZ is poisoning dogs. So far there were 10 suspected cases and at least two deaths. There is a small reward leading to the person leaving strychnine-laced hamburger at the popular dog park.
One dog, a German shepherd mix died within 15 minutes of returning from the park. the dog owner went back to the ark where she found some of the tainted meat.
According to the Arizona Republic:
“Mesa Animal Control has opened an investigation, but recent budget cuts may hurt the investigation, said Chad Willis, an officer with Mesa Animal Control. The city recently slashed its animal control officers from seven to two.”
Let’s pray that the person responsible is found soon, is prosecuted and thrown in jail.
In light of this, be sure to walk the perimeter of your dog park before allowing your dog to run free.
