The 'Toxic Meat' gang have been caught

They would hunt down dogs, weaken/kill them with poison/tranquilisers, and then sell the poisoned meat to restaurants. I'm really glad they've been caught. I hope it doesn't take long to catch the others. Although I suspect it's probably a lot like the poaching problem when it comes to animals such as rhinos and elephants; there are always more scumbags ready to hurt innocent animals to make a penny.

Another dreadful story

I know What's wrong with some people?

Different cultures and different perspectives, Eleanor. The reason this gang were pursued and caught was not because of dogs in themselves, but because the "meat" was contaminated by the poisons used to capture/kill them, which may harm the humans who consumed them.

That's a sad thought, isn't it?

Yes it is. But the world over, different people have different ways of looking at things ...

I suppose what would feel familiar to us would feel alien to them, as well!

Basically (not to get heavy with religion and stuff) - yes.

Sick!
