Dog owners in Sydney’s inner west are being urged to stay on high alert after pieces of sausage laced with suspected poison were reportedly discovered at Weekley Park in Stanmore.
The University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Sydney issued a stark warning, saying the substances—believed to be rat or snail poison—are extremely toxic and potentially deadly to pets.
Owners who recently walked their dogs in the area and noticed them eating anything unusual are advised to seek urgent veterinary care.
Authorities and vets are urging visitors to keep dogs leashed, supervise them closely, and stop them from picking up items off the ground.
The disturbing discovery has sparked anger among locals, with one commenter expressing disbelief and frustration: “What low-life does this?”
