Silence of the Dogs: a serial dog-killer in Beijing?Posted by Mauro Marescialli, July 20, 2005 7:03 PM
![]() If you live in the Fang Zhuang area of Beijing, and you own a dog you better BEWARE! According to today's Legal Mirror, in the past two days 10 dogs have died of alleged poisoning in the courtyard of a residential area in Fang Zhuang. Cops are already on the case. Investigators and common people agree that some twisted psychopath may be behind the serial killings. Eye witnesses reported that pieces of meat were left in a yard heavily frequented by dogs and their owners. After wolfing down the treats, the dogs fell ill and some of them died. ![]() The sudden loss of their beloved puppies has left owners distraught and desperate. But the community is already reacting: notices have been plastered to walls, red-band nannies are on high-alert status and dog owners have already equipped their dogs with ...er... surgical masks to prevent them from eating anything while roaming outside. Danwei will keep you informed about the developments of the investigation. Links and Sources
