| Sicko in NY puts pins in meat for dog! I just saw this today but it may be older then today! Crazy people in this old world! I am including an article that was in the New York Daily News this morning. Please be careful when you are taking walks........ Dog eats meat filled with pins BY KERRY BURKE and LISA L. COLANGELO DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS Martha Redding with her Lab, Milo, who came across piece of beef tongue studded with pins - swallowing some of it - that sicko had left in Central Park. A heartless sicko left a beef tongue spiked with pins in Central Park where an unsuspecting Manhattan pooch ate it and nearly died. Milo, a 6-year-old black Labrador who swallowed 31 pins, was recovering at home last night. "The whole act was so malicious, so full of random hatred," said Martha Redding, Milo's owner. "It was creepy, like Stephen King creepy." Redding and Milo were on their regular walk around 63rd St. in Central Park early Wednesday morning, when dogs are allowed off the leash. The playful pooch grabbed hold of a brown bag wrapped with Christmas ribbon and started to eat the contents. "I pulled it out of his mouth and pulled it away," said Redding, a 38-year-old lawyer. "I picked up the meat to throw it away and it was full of pins." The objects appeared to be straight pins and hat pins, some 3 inches long. She rushed Milo to his veterinarian, Andrew Kaplan at City Veterinary Care on W. 72nd St. Kaplan fed the 80-pound Milo, who was unaware of the pins, three large cans of dog food and then induced the dog to vomit. "We used the canned dog food to shield him from the pins," Kaplan said. X-rays showed Milo vomited up all the pins. Redding praised Kaplan, who was voted the city's top veterinarian by New York magazine this year. "There's a real psycho out there," said Kaplan. "My reaction is one of utter disbelief." Redding said she tried to call cops at the Central Park Precinct and the ASPCA to report the incident. "They [police] were very nice. They said they would send someone around to look at the area," she said. "When I offered to give my name, they said not to bother because it's only littering." ASPCA Special Agent Joseph Pentangelo said yesterday the animal welfare agency is investigating the incident. "It certainly is a crime," Pentangelo said. "No reasonable person could commit an act like this and think it wouldn't be harmful to an animal." The Central Park Conservancy sent out a warning e-mail to the 3,500 dog owners on its list. A relieved Redding said she was just glad the resilient Milo was on the mend. "He's a real New York dog," she beamed. |

| That's sick all right! Even here, I watch Kacee like a hawk when we're walking, because I'm afraid she'll pick up something bad or something poisonous that a sicko might have tossed out, but I never would have imagined something like that!
