People, people - try and respect each other's cultures! We all know that dogs are held in different levels of esteem in different parts of the world. Some people eat them because that's part of their culture. Some people keep them as pets and treat them like family, which is fine too. To disrespect peoples cultures and be rude to them just because they differ from you is very narrow minded.

Anyway, this discussion is off-topic. The concern is that poison may be being laid in public places, which should be a worry for all regardless of your culture. Hopefully we'll found out more after the Eid break.
