Dog biscuits laced with nails discovered in Anderston in 'calculated and abominable' act

Dog biscuits laced with nails have once again been discovered in the Anderston area of Glasgow in a "calculated and abominable" attempted to hurt animals.

The Scottish SPCA first appealed for information in March after a member of the public found the dangerous items.

The charity was again notified on three separate occasions by members the public after they discovered the biscuits in Dorset Square, off Dorset Street in Glasgow within a fortnight of each other.

Scottish SPCA Inspector Vickery said: "We are grateful that no animal was harmed by the biscuits and we are thankful to the vigilant members of the community who alerted us to these incidents.

"This is the second time we have appealed for information. The first time biscuits were found was in March this year.

"In total, this is the sixth incident of its kind we have had reported to us in the Anderston area in just over a year."

In addition to the dog biscuits discovered laced with nails, there have been reports of dogs consuming poison in Alexandra Park, Dennistoun.

Vickery said: "There were reports of dogs ingesting poison in Alexandra Park in Glasgow just days after our first plea.

"This is a calculated and abominable criminal offence and we will do all we can to find the person responsible.  It seems they won’t stop until an animal is hurt.

"Someone knows something and we are desperate to put a stop to this.

"If anyone has any information on these incidences or sees anything suspicious, please report it immediately to our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999."
