Nine dogs have been poisoned and at least eight are dead, after someone tossed tainted hamburger meat over fences in a west Ada neighborhood.
The meat contained Strychnine, a plaint based poison that affects the central nervous system.
The poisoned meat was thrown in the backyards in the early hours of the morning of March 4, 2006 according to the police in Ada. Someone apparently went down alleys and tossed the meat over the fences.
Ted Townsend, who lost a 9 year old German shepherd and 7 year old corgi, said the acts were clearly deliberate. He said tainted hamburger meat found in the backyards helped reveal what had happened.
An Ada police report said officers first responded to a call from Debbie Rodgers, who fouond one of her three daschunds dead about 1pm last Saturday.
Her other two dogs died soon after.
Townsend's home is across the alley from Rodgers home. He and neighbor Cassie Nolan, who owned a black labrador retriever, said their veterinarian confirmed their dogs had been poisoned.
Another neighbor Rachel Salinas, lost her labrador retriever and the fate of her pit bull is uncertain at this time. Authorities are asking for anyone with information to Call Crime Stoppers AT 580-332-2824. Neighborhood MapFor more information about the Interactive Animal Cruelty Maps, see the map notes.
