Answers
Explanation:
We have lived in our neighborhood for 15 years. It’s frightening to me that one of our neighbors would poison our animals without at least lodging a complaint first. I am angry, paranoid, and frankly, ready to move!
*We think the person must have been irritated by our 14 year old Brittany who lost her vision and hearing recently and had started barking at night. We worked with her for several weeks before realizing that she needed the backyard light on at night to stay calm. Our theory is that the poisoned food was dropped in the yard, the other dogs heard it hit the ground and went to investigate. Our deaf Brittany, the real target, never heard the food drop. *
We are acquiring another companion animal for my son this week. The Brittany now sleeps indoors at night, and the dog door for the new Chihuahua will be locked down at night. My morning routine before work now includes an inspection of the side yards for foreign items. Our back fence is 8’ tall and I doubt that was the route of access.
I don’t know when I will feel comfortable with my neighbors again. I watched both of these dogs convulse, and stroked their heads while our vet put them down. I would like to know who did this, or somehow communicate to the person that if they will only talk to us, we are reasonable people. Although I believe any one who deliberately poisons an animal like this is a despicable.
You must hear stories like this every day, thanks for giving me space to vent!
I wrote back and asked if I could quote the letter without publicly identifying the woman who wrote (without using her name ). She wrote back to say yes: Feel free to quote me any time. And then I hesitated. I do hear stories like this almost every day (thanks to a Google alert on poison they drip relentlessly into my inbox). It was that relentless story drip that led me, finally, to write a piece called "The Pet Poisoner Next Door" in which I tried to explore why this happens so often and why we would somehow feel entitled to kill a neighbor's pet, especially knowing that many people consider these cats and dogs to be beloved family members. I wanted to call attention to the problem and, frankly, I hoped that illuminating the issue might contribute to a conversation that would lead to, I don't know, a call for tougher regulations, an increased public awareness of this pattern might encourage its reduction.
In other words, the hopes of an ever-optimistic personality. But what I got mostly in the comments was a litany of justifications for killing pets (messy cats, noisy dogs) and eventually a bragging contest over the best way to kill a cat. I published the original post when I was a blogger for the Public Library of Science last January, a few months before I moved to Wired, and if you look there, you'll see more than 100 comments, including my final response that I was closing the comment section (something that I'd never done before) because I was done with this increasingly ugly discussion.
So I hesitated. And hesitated some more. Hesitated for cowardly months. And the news accounts of pet poisonings just kept dripping into my inbox. Day by day, week by week, adding up to hundreds of dead animals, hundreds of bewildered and grieving pet owners. Some were plain criminal, such as the California burglars who poisoned two dogsat a police officer's home last week before breaking in to steal. Some were the stuff of television news, as when the owner of a Samoyed killed by rat poison shortly after appearing in the Westminster Dog Show suggested that a competing owner might be responsible.
But most are just part of the darker fabric of our everyday life. People poison animals because they want to hurt their owners, as in this - a different California law enforcement story - a sheriff's deputy who killed his estranged wife's dog with pesticides. Or they randomly poison animals for the kick of it, as illustrated in this storyof the loss of a "beloved" dog in England or this one from Wisconsin, both involving poisons left in public parks. Or there's the possibility of a specific target, as in the letter I quoted above or perhaps this casein south Boston which also involved poisoned treats thrown into people's yards.
We are required to write a short story by using the details that are provided to us. The short story using the details provided will be written as under:
Someone or something has been killing the pets that are living in the neighborhood. Rachit, The owner of a pet decides to get to the bottom of the mystery, and one day stays awake to see what was happening.
To his surprise till 3:00 am nothing happens. Just when he was going to forget anything thinking the person or thing is not going to attack today he hears footsteps.
He tries to hide behind a bush and there he sees a person who is the watchman of the building. The person in front of Rashid's eyes turns slowly into a tiger. First, the claws come out, then the hair, and slowly the entire body and face turn into a tiger. Then the tiger jumps on the dog of the house that was next to Rachit and takes him away.
Rachid follows the tiger keeping a safe distance. He sees all the dead pets there. So he understood the reason what was happening and now he had to do something about it to save the people and the pets.
He describes this incident to the people of the building the next day and the people think no one is going to believe the story so they just remove the watchman from work.
Caution: This person looks like a normal person who turns into a tiger and can be anywhere.
