What about the poor fox that was found dead there?
No consideration for it?
Nope, only an arguement whether dogs are tastier than children or something.
Factoid (not calling anyone a liar, but...):
A fox was found dead on/near the beach. Dogs died shortly thereafter from "poisoning".
No independent references to the above, but not too surprising in this country.
No mention of a vector of said event. WHAT was the source of the poison? If the dogs didn't eat or drink anything (and the report was that the dogs left the dead fox alone), what was the vector? If it were contact poison, any human would be dead as well, since it would be a contact poison.
IF it's a real event, it's a public health issue. Small children put all manner of things in their mouths, it'd be a matter of time until one died from something on a public beach.
If it's a factual account, it MIGHT be a wildlife/feral animal control issue that went awry. I'm FAR from against poisoning animals that prove a problem to human habitiation when other lesser measures are ineffective. Even feral dogs.
And yes, I've had dogs all of my life and consider them great companions and even friends. But feral animals are a different story.
If you think otherwise, try getting stalked by a hungry pack of feral dogs on for size. I did, didn't like it. THEY didn't like the report from my weapon either. But that was back home, where we're more "enlightened" and ignore the risk of feral animals until a disaster strikes, such as a child mauled and killed by a pack of feral dogs in our city.
BEFORE we go off half-cocked, let's get ALL of the facts. First, did this actually happen? If so, what was the vector (bait station? Bait laid out in the open? Tray of liquid? Nerve gas mine? Nuclear warhead? Rabid Mother-in-law?)???
Has law enforcement been informed? If so, the response?
What was the toxic agent? Was it intentional or accidental?
Has the Mother-in-law been informed she's rabid?
sorry, dear...
All I've read is an unconfirmed story and a LOT of emotional response and BS.
And something about how someone loves to eat dog. Known a few folks that liked dog. So what? For them it's meat, not your pet! Get over differences in cultural norms!
