SPOKANE -- More poisonous meatballs were found on Spokane's South Hill Monday, the fifth finding since Friday.
SpokAnimal reports the latest meatballs were found on the 900 block of East 36th Ave. So far, no animal has been found injured at that location.
Last Friday, poisoned meatballs were found near Regal and the Palouse Highway, 55th and Freya, and two areas around the 3300 block of East 55th.
One woman saw her dogs eating the poisoned meatballs near Regal and the Palouse Highway, and the dog later went into convulsions and died.
A man near 55th and Freya also had two of his dogs die Friday after eating the meatballs.
No animals were injured where the meatballs were found on the 3300 block of East 55th.
SpokAnimal and SCRAPS are investigating the incidents, and warning animal owners to watch closely over their pets outside. Gail Mackie with SpokAnimal says anyone who finds the poisonous meatballs should not handle them, and instead cover them and quickly call SpokAnimal or SCRAPS to remove them.

The latest report is that the meatballs are laced with strychnine. Still no ideas who or why.

The fact that the poisoned meatballs are being found in multiple locations would indicate that the person is not targetting a specific dog, just dogs in general. I can think of no sicker way to kill a dog than to poison it.
Isn't strychnine a controled poison? I didn't think just anyone could get their hands on it.
Shaking my head yet again.

We had a case like that a while back in Michigan where some kids were poisoning dogs then videoing their deaths. The more the dogs suffered, the more "points" the kid got. It was sick!
These kids would throw the hamburger laced with poison in the yard. They said they watched for homes where the dogs were out all the time or let out without supervision. They waited until the owners were gone and then went to work. Since the dogs cried out, they had to do it in areas where owners, neighbors didn't pay attention, or remote areas. They actually put thought and observation into what they did. They were caught when a younger sister happened to see the video of her older brother and told a teacher since the parents were less then involved with the kids.

I hope those little "serial-killers in training" were recognized for what they were and treated accordingly. That is what disturbs me most about this Spokane situation: it is horrifying enough that some ass(es) randomly targets dogs (and other animals?) to poison painfully. But, that mentality is the type that "progresses" from cruelty to animals to humans. Someone knows who is doing this, or has strong suspicions. I lay some of the responsibility for any future poisonings at their feet, too.

As a parent, I almost always knew where my son was, what he was doing, who his friends are, and he had a curfew. We also knew almost every cop (multiple city, multiple county, state, and a couple FBI), we knew most firefighters in a 5 county area, as well as almost every ER doc and RN. My poor son didn't stand a chance. The one time he got pulled over, well his friend got pulled over for being stupid (he took off fast around the corner from the stop sign and smoked his tires IN FRONT OF THE OFFICER, thankfully the friend had the smarts to pull over and have all required paperwork ready when the officer pulled up behind him, awareness of surroundings and showing off was saved for another day). The officer looked in and saw my son, he started laughing. The officer knew my husband and I would be talking to all the boys. The anticipation about killed them all. That is called involved and responsible parenting. I don't know how many times I have had the pleasure of dealing with parents who were furious at us for catching their precious delinquent, not at what the kid did, just that we dared to catch them at it and expected the parents to be parents.
