We have been made aware of some poisoning cases in Hexham. We must stress that no fatalities have occurred and we would urge pet owners to be vigilant, but remain calm.
Information regarding what type of poison has been found is unconfirmed but is believed to be slug bait. We hope the situation is resolved as soon as possible and those responsible think again about the consequences of what they are doing.
Whilst this is a rare occurrence, unfortunately pet poisoning is not.
