Frightening. Sounds like someone possibly ha a vendetta against dogs. Or maybe someone has put something down that is toxic not understanding the problems they have caused whichever it is it must be horrible to lose a dog in this way.

tragic i just saw it on the news

If the person responsible gets caught, i think he/she should be liable for all damages and loss of peoples dogs. Each owner affected should legally be able to press charges and prosecute them for what they have done. The bill could run into hundreds and thousands of pounds.

If they dont have the money.... send them to prison for ten years - per dog.

I also have a solution to cut down costs, instead of feeding this person human food they can have bakers complete dried food, and a fresh bowl of water once every few days. (we dont want the water metre being ran up) Bed wise, plenty of nice mattresses get dumped in land fill every day. Let them have one of those and be bitten by bed bugs and cut by broken springs.
If they do not like it, then simply remove the dried food (they will eat when hungry) and take away the mattress.
Problem solved. I also have a nice big shed at the bottom of my garden not going to good use, i'm prepared to use it to hold this person in free of charge to the tax payer.

Sounds like rat poison.

It will be interesting to see what the actual cause of these deaths are; I saw a vet being interviewed this evening and they are carrying out a post mortem on one of the dog so hopefully the cause will be identified.

Until then we will not know if this was a deliberate malicious act, negligence or a terrible accident.

I hope it was the latter........

We had the same thing here about 6 months ago at a well known beauty spot/walk. Several dogs died, turned out it was poison.

Heartbreaking for the poor owners

That is so sad i really hope this wasnt intentional, and malicious. It will be interesting to hear what the post mortem reveals as that cause.

Might be more on the lunchtime news I hope. I can't imagine how the poor people must feel in that area with dogs who need walking

We had something similar a few years ago, 6 dogs died, turned out it was some nutter leaving food in the long grass for the foxes, and then some even worse moron putting rat poison on it to kill the foxes she was trying to save!!! 6 dogs died!!! For what!!! They found out who it was though and he's since moved!
