Big coincidence though if two dogs in a relatively short space of time were taken ill with similar symptoms shortly after being in the park, both having eaten something before they went into the park?


Possible, obviously.

?Rats take some time to die from ingesting it (normally dying from internal haemorrhage). That suggests that it may have been a far quicker acting toxin, or a mixture of toxins.?


if we agree it's not acceptable for dogs or cats to die like that, why is it ok for rats?

Good gracious... what kind of people would leave (rat) poison that may harm other domestic animals..

Thank you for the warning, OP. I always watch for suspicious items on the path that my dog is likely to sniff or even try but I am not always able to keep him away from them. He's too energetic and when he decides to eat something, does it in the blink of an eye. He's always gets scolded in situations like these but the effect doesn't seem to last for long.

Glad to know that your friend's dog is OK after all!

some people rate rats quite highly as pets. are you suggesting that these rats are different from the vulgar rats down the park that you'd happily allow to die horribly? just a thought.

It's hard to care for them - I wouldn't feel guilt chucking

a rat from my balcony - it'd probably survive anyway.


.. and yet when we all saw those baby Pandas it's awwww -

what we like and hate is ingrained, and it's not rats ;)

Indeed, and these are bred from established blood lines -AND ARE VERY DIFFERENT from feral urban sewer (brown and back) rats - both carriers of (multiple) diseases (not their fault, but they are) and very destructive, which is - they will strip electrical insulation - causing fires - amongst other things. Feral urban sewer rats are simply in the wrong place - and getting rid of them is a necessity where they start to interact with us - which they do because we are their way of life. Very different from (large) field rats in e.g Vietnam, which are trapped and eaten.

thanks, penguin, i appreciate that there are many different species of rat, and not all of them elicit an awww response. you also don't need to remind me of the disease risks etc.

i'm suggesting that that's no reason to use (or to countenance the use of) inhumane methods to kill them - just because they may be pests in certain environments.


my own dog is curled up on my lap as i type and i feel great sympathy for the family that have lost their poor dog in such a horrible way


my basic point is that we use dreadful methods to get rid of some 'undeserving' animals and put many of the rest at this kind of lethal risk. that is wrong, full stop. i don't want to hijack this thread, so that's me done, no more on this subject

      That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
