Dogs are dying from poison right now: Poison prevention month

For most street animals, survival depends on eating fast, not eating safely.

March is Poison Prevention Awareness Month, a reminder that poisoned food is still being used to kill dogs and cats living on the streets.

An international media report described poisoned food deliberately placed in a public area to kill street dogs.



People nearby watched dogs eat the food and collapse within minutes, some falling where they stood, while others staggered a few steps before their legs stopped working. 

Thick foam formed around their mouths as violent vomiting began. 

Their bodies shook repeatedly as seizures set in. 

When chemicals are used as bait, animals have no way to sense danger.

Breathing became uneven and strained as the poison interfered with normal lung and heart activity. 

Several dogs remained alive on the ground for a long time. 

They were unable to stand as they choked on their own fluids and struggled for air, before finally dying.

Help was impossible because the poison was designed to prolong suffering.



The chemical caused the body to lose control before affecting movement and breathing, leaving the animals conscious while their organs failed. 

The process continued rather than ending immediately.

Hunger shapes every decision on the streets.

Dogs and cats on the streets live with constant hunger.

Animals eat immediately when food appears because waiting can mean losing the only chance to survive that day. 

Poisoned bait takes advantage of this fact. 

The poison eliminates street animals today, but does nothing about tomorrow. 

As long as animals keep being born on the streets, the suffering simply repeats.

The world's 600 million stray dogs and 87 million stray cats give birth to over 1 billion homeless puppies and kittens every year.

Tragically, those who survive also reproduce and give birth to another generation of homeless strays - thus repeating the cycle of suffering, every year.

This suffering is preventable.

This is why we are developing a one-time, permanent-lasting, birth control Cookie that, when eaten, will spay or neuter a homeless dog or cat without surgery, to end the overpopulation crisis.

You can help the next street dog before they are born into the same misery, starting at just $5 a month.

Yes, I’ll Help End This Cycle of Suffering!

Thank you for caring and for helping animals.
