To the PS dog owners

Just came across this sickening article on Gothamist:

There are lunatics out there. Some jerk left a 2 pound ham in Central Park that a dog found and, being a 6 year old Labrador retriever, he ate the meat. Only for the dog's owner, Martha Redding, to throw away the meat and discover it was full of 3-inch pins. Milo the dog ate 31 pins, and his vet fed him three cans of dog food and induced vomiting to get rid of them. Luckily, the vomiting was successful and Milo is pin-free. The Central Park Conservancy emailed dog walkers to warn them about suspcicious packages. The ASPCA's Special Agent Joseph Pentangelo says they are investigating the matter: "It certainly is a crime. No reasonable person could commit an act like this and think it wouldn't be harmful to an animal... I've heard about chemical poisoning - people who are annoyed about cat colonies in their area or people getting tired about dogs urinating in front of their houses. I've never seen anything like this." Redding says that the incident "reminds me of all those thriller movies of serial killers who start by hurting animals."

    Pretty sick. Reminds me of a WSJ article that I read about a dog killer in Hong Kong that's been on the loose for more than a decade. He leaves behind meat tainted with insecticide.
    From TIME Asia
    ...a spree that has claimed over 20 dead and made at least 100 seriously ill.
    They suspect that he's exacting revenge for left-behind dog droppings; it wouldn't surprise me if the person in Central Park has similar motivation.

    It was a battle to train Lucy not to pick up any of the chicken bones that can be found on our block, but news like this is even better motivation to provide that discipline.

    Before I had dogs, I didn't realize that the sidewalks of Brookyn are covered with chicken bones. I can't take my dogs for a walk around the block without one of them finding a damn chicken bone.
