Dog deaths stop poison in Christchurch Park

The Christchurch City Council has stopped using possum bait in Victoria Park after one dog was fatally poisoned and another nearly died.

Lisa Pilkington recently lost her five-year-old female labrador, Sammi, after the dog ate the possum bait, cholecalciferol, in the Christchurch park.

The dog was off her leash for about 10 minutes, Pilkington said. "I take full responsibility for what happened. I don't want it to happen to another dog and I think it's crazy that they use a toxic in such a beautiful area." MORE>>

A good reason to teach your dog to 'leave' or to take only the food that you give him. However, this could be almost an impossible task for a Lab:)
