gazette- A string of dog poisonings in Colorado Springs’ Old North End could be the work of burglars who want to get rid of protective pets, a neighborhood association is warning its residents.
The Old North End Neighborhood association sent out an email Tuesday alerting residents to as many as 10 recent dog poisonings in the neighborhood and on the city’s west side.
“It looks like this might be the potential beginning of a burglary ring where the burglars are throwing rat poison to dogs,” said Victor Appugliese, the association’s president.
The concerns began with a February incident in which a veterinarian told a homeowner on North Cascade Street that his 2 1/2-year-old black Labrador retriever had died after being fed rat poison.
About a month later, burglars broke into the couple’s home and carefully picked through their jewelry — without having to deal with a barking dog.
Wow. Absolutely diabolical. With all the dogs in the neighborhood dead, they'll be able to silently rob all the houses. It seems like a fantastic idea on paper, but there is one little problem. People love dogs. And you can't just poison a bunch of dogs and think you will get away with it. The public outcry that will come from all these deaths will probably draw some attention from the FBI or the CIA or something. In no time, these guys will be taken out by the Delta Force. People like dogs more than they like other people. I bet Michael Vick would've gotten a slap on the wrist if he had a little kid fighting ring as opposed to a dog fighting ring. They'd probably be better off just killing the home owners.
