I watched the video this is too cruel I'm hoping this will wake people up , so they'll keep their cats INDOORS !!!

at the end of the french news program , they announced that a 20 day old baby was killed by a dog in Monteregie (St-Barnabé Sud) they didn't have too much details because it happened late this afternoon. The dog is a husky that belongs to a couple that is living with the baby's family. Horrible ....

This is the exact area I live, the park that people were being interviewed in is just up the road from us. There is a skunk that lives near us and we see him in the back alley and at the park behind our house.
Leo and I have seen the skunk(s) several times on our evening walks and it's amusing and harmless, I've even nick named it "the garbage skunk"
We smell spray maybe once a month.

I find weird food outside all the time and am always paranoid about things Leo picks up, usually its chicken bones, but stuff like bread and steak (I actually pulled a huge chunk of steak from Leo's mouth at the park) left laying outside gets me particularly leery considering the stories of poisonings that I have read on here.

I really hope the SPCA gets to the bottom of this one and I hope other people don't see this report and decide it's a smart idea and lay out more junk to try and kill urban wildlife.

Leo and I went to the park this morning again and he found ANOTHER piece of steak, on the other side of the park. Luckily I was close to him and grabbed him and pried it from his mouth, and it was too big for him to gulp down quickly...

Have you thought of bringing these steaks somewhere to get them tested for poisoning? This would scare me a lot!

Can't believe how heartless some people are
