our local cat poisoner
This is a couple of minutes walk from me:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...-fife-26449853 So we're keeping our lot shut in for now. This happened before a few years ago. My bet is that it's some dickhead car repairer leaving open containers of antifreeze about. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

These weren't feral cats, they were pets, but it still took a few disappearances before people realized that the disappearances were deliberate, and then of course the police had to figure out who was responsible. He was convicted of animal cruelty, but only one or two of the cats was ever recovered, even after he was caught and told the neighbours where he had dumped their cats. -- Cheryl |

I'm so glad they caught him before he could continue with that cruel practice, and I'm glad he was convicted instead of the authorities just ignoring it. What was the penalty? I hope it was more than a fine or probation. MaryL |

I hope it was more than a fine or probation. I don't remember - I don't think it was a severe penalty, and it was something on the line of a fine or probation. On the other hand, the humiliation of being brought up in court along with all the other minor criminals (not to mention attracting more media attention than they did) must have been quite great for a professional man living in a nice neighbourhood! -- Cheryl |

I thought there was an agreement (at least in the US) by manufacturers to add a bittering agent to ethylene glycol so it wouldn't taste sweet? http://www.humanesociety.org/animals...ntifreeze.html Good idea to keep yours in for now. I know you don't want to, but please do, at least until they find the source of the poison. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be someone willfully killing pets. Jill |

Then again, there are some rather careless/clueless people who don't think about or realize the dangers of antifreeze + animals/pets. Getting VERY angry isn't going to help. Jill |
