Poison Alert - Alsancak and Ilgaz

[ifonly]

Copied from Charities section - I reckon more people will see it on this section (Sorry Admin if it is wrong !).

In Alsancak a small brown cardboard box was found on the side of the path containing "something" dead, obviously used as bait. On top of the small dead animal was sprinkled white powder. Any stray dog or cat wanting to get to the "meat" was going to have to eat the powder first. It is assumed the powder was lanate. Alsancak Belediye were informed and the box has been removed. This is the second form of poison in less than a week within 100 yards of each other (the first was fatal). This is the first time this devious method has been used. Keep a close look out for paper bags or boxes lying by the side of the path.

PLUS
Another, sadly fatal. report has been reported to KAR. On Saturday, 29th April, a strong healthy adult pointer died despite the vets very best efforts over 2 hours of treatment - so it was very strong poison. He had been out on a run/walk with his owners in the mountain area just above Ilgaz. The poison had been laid on the mountain path on animal innards. The owners friends returned to the area and cleared the innards and posion.

BE EXTRA CAREFUL - Even when you think your pets are walking in safe areas.

But where did this actually happen? Surely its the only important detail of this event. We need to know exactly where this person put the poison. Thanks.

Go up the road Kani Akansu next to Gepas Depot opposite Sams Bar on the main road. Go for about three quarters of a mile. Road stops being tarmac and becomes a track. Poison obviously not there now and poisoner probably won't hit the same place twice. Warning was certainly to make people aware that a more devious method was being used i.e. in container placed by side of a track and hidden, rather than usual method of rat poison pellets or pieces of poisoned liver scattered around.
