WHAT
CAN YOU DO AS A PET OWNER
•
Keep
your pets - and children - away from stray food and
suspicious plastic bags; check these bags for poisoned
contents!
•
Keep
an eye on the behaviour of strangers/hunters around your
property, especially if they seem to be annoyed by your
barking dogs.
•
Teach
children that poisoning is a disgusting and horrible act,
extremely painful to the animals.

Report
cases of attempted poisoning or attempted poisoning in
detail to the G.N.R. or the Police.
