Watch your pets - meat/fish left on Dawsons Hill - could be poisoned

[Angelina]

Do please take care - it may be innocent but it's really not worth the risk - there are some sick people out there.

We have removed it this morning but there may be more again

Never heard of anyone who has put poisoned meat down in urban areas.  You will find the vast majority of the population are nice people.

Illegal killing of animals that take game happens in rural areas but that is a different issue 

Did you report the dumping of the meat to environmental health and the police?

By all means speculate, I expect that it was fly tipping.  Where it came from and why is athe question....

Foxes have great digestive systems and will eat most foodstuffs.

There were a couple of incidents (pre pandemic) of possibly contaminated meat being left on Peckham rye. I remember having a conversation with one of the gardeners. Always best to be cautious

It's good that you've never personally had to experience poison being left but it is a known fact in this area.

It's not fly tipping - people leave food out for foxes but there are also people who purposefully leave food out to kill animals.

So have you reported it?
