Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 pLEASE WARN OTHERS IN AREA UNTIL WE GET TO BOTTOM OF ALERT Yesterday I received an urgent email from the manager of my local rescue centre in Blidworth warning me not to go to the woods with my dogs because 15 dogs have already died of suspected poisoning . I'm trying to get more information and get the word round locally. Apparently it was on the local radio. I heard this morning that area of woodland connected to the incidents is Haywood Oaks woods, Blidworth, Nottinghamshire It could be someone deliberately laying bait for dogs to take, or laying poison for other species ( eg rats/ badgers), something the Forestry Commission have put down or a naturally occuring toxin ( like the blue algae on stagnant ponds which affects the nervous systems and produces symptoms of poisoning). I have also heard from a farming source there have been a number of cases of Weil's disease in an area not far away. I don't think there are many members on here who would exercise dogs in those woods but just in case please note. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Beware also as this is a known dogging spot I pulled in there years ago to walk the dogs and wondered why the car park was so busy at 11pm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
