What is the matter with people?

We often used to walk George in Clyne Gardens. Not so much now because he can't manage hills very well but it's a very popular spot with walkers with or without dogs.

It seems however that someone who frequents the Gardens doesn't like dogs. Hates them might not be putting it too strongly.

Three dogs have died after eating poison at Clyne Gardens recently. Another dog has died at another location from poisoning. This has been confirmed by vets and police. What sort of horrible person does this?

There's a suggestion that it's connected with the problem of people not clearing up the poo after their dogs. Most people, especially the 'nice' sort of people you get in Clyne do clear up and I would guess it's only very infrequently that dog poo is to be found on the path. And, yes, I agree it's horrible, but the blame is with the owners not the dogs.

Some malevolent person is afoot alright.

I cannot imagine what kind of mind would think to poison an animal.

I agree with Marie Smith.
it's absolutely cruel and EVIL.
and you're right too... the PEOPLE need to pick up their dog's poop.
it's NOT the dogs' fault!!!
it's just sickening to think about.

Walkies :
So my dog takes the lead (sorry for the pun) and shits wherever she wants to.
I walk behind with a little plastic bag and pick up her shit.
Why then do I call myself the master? ;-)

What's really scary - if someone is willing to poison an innocent pet, what's their next step (because there is always a next step).

The possible consequences of scattering poison willy nilly are terrifying.

That happens here, too. Sad.
