Dog poisoning mystery deepens after tests
On October 13, 2016, Cranbrook RCMP began a lengthy investigation into the possible poisoning of several dogs in the Community Forest of Cranbrook.
Cranbrook RCMP, Cranbrook Police Dog Service and the General Investigation Section attended the area at the time in an attempt to locate any evidence or witnesses to the alleged poisonings. At the time Cranbrook RCMP also liaised with a local veterinary hospital and seized exhibits to be sent to specific labs that deal with poisonings, both in Canada and the United States.
Cranbrook RCMP received the results back from both the Ministry of Agriculture in B.C. and Michigan State University. All samples sent to these institutions came back negative for any poisons in the samples sent.
“Although there was no poison detected in the samples, veterinarians state that some poisons are hard to detect in toxicology from animals,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron of Cranbrook RCMP.
Cranbrook RCMP are still requesting that anyone with any information regarding these incidents to contact the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) “and to continue being vigilant by keeping an eye on your pets and young children while walking your pets in the Community Forest,” Forgeron said.
