Dog walkers have been urged to keep pets on leads and not allow them to scavenge. The police also said that they believe the meat had been left on purpose to harm animals.
But who on earth would do such a thing…. and why?
BBC reports: Professional dog walker Kris Sikora said this kind of activity was not unheard of.
“In this case, it’s poison meat,” he said. “Before we’ve had toys that have been left around that have been poisoned. The worst one that really shocked me was razor blades being left in tennis balls.”
Dog owners are being urged to remain vigilant and prevent pets from scavenging while in the area. In Brompton Cemetery, police have reminded the public that dogs should be kept on leads at all times.
One woman walking her dog in Holland Park told BBC London: “I’m totally disgusted. I can’t even imagine why anyone would do that.”
Another dog walker said: “It’s absolutely horrendous. I’m not sure if someone’s doing it for a spiteful reason.
“It will stop people coming to the park with their dogs.”
Sikora advised dog owners to “take all the necessary steps” if they see their dog eat something unknown and take them to the vets to be checked out.
“The best advice I can give is to just stay vas vigilant as possible,” he added.
