http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/tainted-meatballs-found-in-more-sf-neighborhoods/Content?oid=2505302My friend just told me one of their neighbor's dogs died today as part of this horrible story. This really pushes my buttons, as a dog of mine was poisoned way back in 1987. What kind of an asshole would do something like this? You'd think with all the security cameras out there in cities today, they'd be able to catch this guy.
Tainted meatballs found in more S.F. neighborhoods
San Francisco Examiner
July 10th
Authorities have yet to identify suspects in connection with hundreds of poisoned meatballs that were discarded along city streets in an apparent attempt to sicken dogs as reports of the tainted meat spread to new neighborhoods last weekend.
Police issued a warning about the potentially deadly meat last week after 7-year-old dachshund Oskar ingested some near Crestline Drive and Burnett Avenue in Twin Peaks.
More poisoned-meat discoveries were reported in other neighborhoods, including Lower Haight, Cole Valley, Hayes Valley and Bernal Heights, said Dr. Carrie Jurney, a board-certified neurologist at Animal Internal Medicine and Specialty Services, where Oskar is being treated.
Community members have collected hundreds of tainted meatballs, according to police.

take them out for walks. I hope the SFPD can identify the neighborhood this is happening and close in on this person.
