WARNING TO PET OWNERS IN LUTON AREA

PUBLIC WARNING FOR PET OWNERS IN LUTON AREA

ANYONE WALKING THEIR DOGS IN LUTON & SURROUNDING AREAS: PLEASE BE
CAUTIOUS, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PUTTING RAT POISON IN MEAT AND THROWING IT IN BUSHES. THREE DOGS HAVE BEEN KILLED ALREADY, SO PLEASE BE AWARE.

Passed on from rescue contacts, source unknown.

Yikes! My spaniel would eat any meat in bushes for sure.

Do you know whereabouts? I'm in what would probably be called 'surrounding areas' of Luton.

Do you have any rescue contact sources I can quote? A good friend is a dog trainer and sitter in this area too and a lot of her clients are from Luton. I'm sure she'd like to send out an email or text warning to them?

Sorry, Mrs JD, I don't. The warning was picked up from the rescue forum I'm a member of, having been put on there by a friend and fellow volunteer.

I can vouch for HER honesty but I don't know where the report came from originally. Will try to find out in the morning, if it's of help to you.

Any information - particularly on location - would be really helpful. I'm wondering if this was a targetted attack (someone at end of their tether with a neighbour's barking dog, or a rascist attack, eg) or something more random. Both truly horrific possibilities but the latter obviously very concerning.
