I know we have a lot of clients that live in this area! Please be extra vigilant and/or avoid the parks
UPDATE Saturday 10/8/19
We have had a number of people contact us with regard to those that have been affected by this, so it’s hard to tell how many victims there are in total, but we BELIEVE FROM REPORTS that there 12 affected and 8 lives lost. We cannot be 100% sure of numbers as we are feeding off our community and the rescue and vetinary network. Please keep in mind that not everyone involved wants contact with media.
What we definitely know:
❗️- Areas affected are Newstead and Newfarm Dog Parks
❗️- The poison is thrown in with and rolled in mince like meat as well as pieces of meat off cuts. Some dogs were believed to ingest the meat around the dog park and not actually in it.
❗️- The first poisoning (that we know of) was reported to a vet in the Newstead area on Thursday afternoon, and the most recent at an vet on the city fringe in the early hours of this morning.
❗️- Brisbane City Council has been sited at both dogs parks inspecting
We encourage everyone to be vigilant no matter where they take their animals as those responsible could strike again.
UPDATE: NEWSTEAD has also had reported baitings today: we are now aware of 8 deaths in 24 hours!!
❗️❌ DOG BAITING WARNING ❌❗️
NEWFARM AREA BRISBANE
We have received 2 reports in the last hour from different vets within this area of a number of dogs that have been brought in having ingested bait in new farm park dog park or new farm park.
