·Cheerio you wrote below in the "Big Scare" thread that you do work poison proofing dogs. That topic is of great interest here in Portland, Oregon because we have the dubious distinction of having a mass murderer on the loose. Some of you in the states may have even seen this on TV as it made the national news.
Here in town there is kind of an off leash war in our local parks. Dog owners are jumping up and down screaming for more off leash dog park areas and the city is slow slow slow to respond to the request. Many owners are just letting their dogs off lead in all the parks particularly Laurelhurst park. As usual a few bad apples (dog owners) have not been in control of their dogs so people who are not dog lovers have been botherd by dogs.
Anyway, some freak of nature decided that the solution was to put out sausages laced with Paraquat (sp?) a strong herbacide that burns the dogs mouth and throat when they eat the poisoned meat. At least 12 dogs were poisoned. A majority of those dogs died, some quickly, some had to be put down after several days of suffering.
Cheerio, tell us more about your poison proofing techniques please.
