I am new to this forum, there is something important regarding the safety of dogs in my local park that you may need to be aware of.

You may have heard about the tragic antifreeze poisonings of dogs in Lyme valley park , Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire over the summer months. Sadly the most recent case was a few weeks ago a beloved border terrier named Foxy had to be put to sleep as she had eaten some food in the park containing antifreeze, I have seen the report from the vet concerning this so I know it is the truth.

Eventhough the council have been urged to act, at the very least to put up notices to protect animals from futher harm, they have refused to act. Bearing this in mind my family and I have decided to present them with a petition in the hope that they will take the matter seriously. We have 110 signatures on the paper version of this petition and the online one was launched yesterday.

I urge you to please read the link below and sign the petiton, help to stop another dog being poisoned before it's too late :-
