Fifteen stray dogs were found dead at Indira Nagar in Kanuvai. Residents believe they were poisoned to death.
The dogs were found lying dead, frothing from the mouth within meters of each other, and on three different roads, residents informed the Pannimadai panchayat and police.
One stray dog is alive and is undergoing treatment at Humane Animal Society’s sterilization center at Seeranaickenpalayam.
Some of the animals had vomited before dying, had froth in their mouth, and swollen abdomens, all signs of them being poisoned.
“Poisoning of dogs is difficult to trace because the district animal welfare officer and veterinary hospitals do not pick them up and conduct a postmortem, which can help us identify the poison and then analyze its source, and probably find who was responsible,” said Mini Vasudevan, co-founder of HAS.
“This could probably be a case of someone feeding the dog food that was laced with poison,” she says. The Pannimadai police said no official complaint has been lodged with them. Panchayat members suspect that some people who were harassed by the stray dogs could have fed them poisoned meat, or some robber could have poisoned the dogs.
The panchayat has informed the animal husbandry department about the deaths.
