Another dog poisoned in Warner Beach

A sample has been sent for analysis.

Another Toti dog was believed to be poisoned with suspected bits of raw meat covered in blue granules tossed into the yard.

Trace’Lee Turner said they were away at the weekend and when her mother-in-law checked up on their Warner Beach property on Friday and Saturday, everything was fine.

“When she went on Sunday our one-year-old boxer, Star was dead,” she said.

Blue granules, suspected to be organophosphate poison, was found on the dog and in her vomit.

“The vet said he was 90% sure it was poison, as this was the second or third time they had come across it.”

A sample has been sent for analysis.

“This is very unnerving, as we don’t know if they will come for our other dogs.”

The incident follows a report in the Sun where two dogs were poisoned with this method in the Warner Beach and St Winifreds area on Monday, 13 July.

The owner, who did not wish to be named in fear of his two dogs’ safety, said the meat must have been thrown over his wall sometime during the day.

The dogs were rushed to the vet and he confirmed it was organophosphate poisoning.
