Another unfortunate incident has come across as a dog racing event turned out to be the last ever thing three dogs did before passing away suddenly

Suspected to be a case of "poisoning", Cecile Gensac, a Nimes Prosecutor, stated that the dogs all of a sudden fell down after ingesting meat balls at the event site

Sadly within 15 minutes of consuming the meatballs, three dogs collapsed at the very tracks of the French Canicross Championships, leaving a fourth one gravely ill

Upon further investigating the seemingly fine consumables, black pellets were found stuffed inside

[{"selector":"#anim-49045cfc-9513-40f4-943c-440ce5ceff5d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0bda5753-f515-4b6f-915a-5a5c76aff374","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38670%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

And while no conclusive evidence has been found stating them to be poisonous, after witnessing the symptoms of the canines, the same is very likely

To resolve the situation and carry out justice for the affected pawrents and their dead pups, an investigation under the Animal Cruelty law has been passed

[{"selector":"#anim-07d5b3ce-6780-4eac-8565-022710c3e982","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2275ee54-094c-4baf-a926-c7d77210f682","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38670%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

The perpetrator will be charged with at least five years of imprisonment and a hefty fine of 75,000 euros

Moreover to prevent such horrific acts from being repeated again, the organizers hailing from the Federation of Canine Sports and Hobbies have also banned further race events until the guilty is punished
