LAnimal lovers and regular walkers along the Lys, particularly in Halluin, must be extra careful, report our colleagues at The Voice of the North. According to a testimony from Françoise posted on social networks, pieces of poisoned pâté were left in the area.
A walker in the area had to urgently take her dog to the veterinarian, and sounded the alert to warn other owners: “If she had not reacted so quickly, her little dog would no longer be here today,” explains Françoise. . About an hour later, it was too late. »
“It can save a life”
The consequences of ingesting these poisoned pieces of pâté are immediate and terrible. Animals can quickly go into convulsions, and without rapid intervention, the outcome is fatal. It is therefore essential to remain attentive during your walks and to contact a veterinarian immediately if your dog shows signs of discomfort.
The call for vigilance is all the more important as this type of trap can spread beyond Halluin. “Please tell all dog owners about this. This can save a life,” concludes the lady who raised the alert.
