Nearly five abandoned dogs have died in a suspected mass poisoning in Abu Dhabi recently, according to local animal welfare activists.
According to Sarita Harding, a volunteer at Animal Action Abu Dhabi, the dogs were found near one of their feeding areas in the Musaffah industrial area.
“Our feeders first saw the dead dogs. It was a painful sight. Many of them were bleeding from the nose. This is grisly, the plain murder of animals. This is one of the worst such incidents we have seen recently,” said Sarita.
“We are getting the autopsy done to establish the dogs died from poisoning. The symptoms are clear. Most of the rescued dogs are in terrible condition from vomiting, diarrohea, and bleeding from the nose,” she added.
Around 10 more dogs are currently fighting for their lives, and Sarita added that the dead dogs may be still undiscovered.
“The numbers can go up, as more could be lying dead out there. We do not know how many rescued ones will make it,” she further added.
