Gozo SPCA have also issued a warning regarding the poison which was spread over a wide area of the Ta’ Cenc plateau, in an area popular with both dog walkers and hunters.
The information regarding the poison has been confirmed by an ALE police officer, who also informed the Gozo SPCA that three dogs, which had eaten food laced with poison, were saved by their quick-thinking owner, who immediately administered salt to these dogs. The salt made the dogs vomit, effectively saving their lives.
The dog-owning public are advised to keep away from the area, or keep dogs on a leash at all times. Dog owners are also advised to carry salt in their car and to give a strong salt water solution to their dog if they suspect poisoning. They are also advised to seek veterinary assistance immediately.
The Gozo SPCA said that it condemns this callous and barbaric use of poison, which causes a slow and agonising death.
If anyone has information which could establish the identity of the perpetrators, they are asked to please contact the Victoria Police or the Gozo SPCA on 21553769.
