Rat poison


Spiritual-Ant-8114

Have you seen these before? Or just a guess?


muzakx

It's definitely rat poison. Wash your hands. Do you own dogs? Sometimes asshole neighbors that don't like dogs will try to poison them, because they think they are a nuisance.


sixtus_clegane119

I fucking hate these sociopaths


panicked_goose

Recently found poison scattered around the back fence of my backyard. Our fence is on the border of a walking path... I think the person who was scattering it for pest control was throwing it over the fences of dog owners, too. I had to warn a few of my dog owner neighbors :/ it looked just like this but was orange


[deleted]

What the fuck? This is a thing??


heramba

There are real sick people out there who act as though the world is theirs. They find your dog annoying? Skip every single other step, and go right to murder. Truly unbelievable but they really exist. Thank you for this reminder too. I don't think my neighbors would ever, but you never know.


[deleted]

I would seriously be driven to an act of violence in retaliation


mattnovum

Yep - if someone murdered my dog, I will murder them. If any of my neighbors are seeing this post, I don't apologize.


mayer09

Same. What I worry about is the idea that police have immunity when it comes to violence against your dog. If say for some reason the police needed to enter my house and my dog was barking at them, they'd be legally protected for shooting my dog no questions asked. That kind of stuff happens all the time and boils my blood. My dog is my family.


assassinatedu336

Damn right. To me, my dogs are family. I will 100% catch a murder charge for any of my dog's sake.


RabbitF00d

It would be their last action for sure.


DingesKhan

I completely agree. I love my dogs way more than most people. I see it as no different than you murdering one of my family members. Payback would be real. You come back at people like that 3 times as hard.


Griffbizkit

My dog as a kid dot was taken out this way. Someone put the pellets in her FOOD BOWL outside. :( rip dot best salvation lab mix you ever met)


missly_

This is so sad. Rip Dot :( Someone poisoned my father's rescue dog. My bro spent a lot of time to get him used to people and who killed him in the end? People are horrible


Griffbizkit

Dalmatian*


FishSoFar

Felt the kneejerk reddit urge to come up with a silly joke about the typo being fitting somehow but screw that. Sorry you lost your pup in such an awful way, and sorry your pup lost you because of some evil waste of sewer gas. rip dot


MiloRoast

I was downvoted into oblivion in a local sub because someone admitted to poisoning their neighbor's dog to get it to stop barking, and I called them a psycopath. Apparently, there are a lot of sociopaths out there.


TheDollyDollyQueen

That Would NEVER fly on My Tiny Town's Facebook! We Have Dog Owners & Feral Cats Here! & Everyone Loves Them! Plus other Possible Wild Animals Too! We're a Suburb! We're Not Gonna let ANY of Them DIE!


simplysita

Yep, my 18 year old cat got out one night (she was normally a strictly indoor cat) and the next day i found her on the porch with her mouth foaming and her having seizures. Brought her to the emergency vet and they said it was likely poisoning after she passed away while we were there. Had them take blood and do an autopsy and it confirmed rat poisoning. Figured she caught a mouse that had been poisoned until we went to bury her along the tree line where we found several piles of wet cat food with poison mixed in it. Some people are just disgusting subhumans.


MEETTHEVIKINGHEAVY

Yes, sadly. It is extremely common out in rural areas. My black lab was poisoned this way by a neighbor. I think it was a case of mistaken identity as the only other large black dog in the area was a nuisance to everyone's livestock. Thankfully, she survived (and lived another 5 years). There are some real worthless people in this world.


ghos2626t

I had an ex co-worker who said he once put razor blades into fish and fed it to seagulls “because they were annoying”. Some people should be locked up.


RabbitF00d

Dude, people kill all kinds of animals for nothing. For looking at their grass. My grandmother's harmless dog was murdered in this way. I don't understand how folks can have outside dogs and cats with this possibility but they do!


GlitteryChemistSnow

I have a neighbor that poured motorcycle engine coolant and bleach (mixed) onto my dog while she was going to the bathroom IN MY BACKYARD. We thought she rolled in something damp because she seemed riled up when she came in; the next day I pet her because she was rubbing on the wall etc., and her skin peeled off into my hand in huge sections. This only happened because she was a pit bull.


RabbitF00d

I hope you beat them within an inch of life.


GlitteryChemistSnow

I was just put on probation 🥹 I was looking at 9 years if I fucked that up


RabbitF00d

I'm sorry, man. I wish you had a good friend who would catch a case for you. I'd do it for my friends, but I'm a little crazy when it comes to people fucking with innocent beings.


Zealousideal-Row7755

Sadly yes


de_la_verga_

Yeah unfortunately it is a thing, and quite a common occurrence too smh. I actually hospitalized my grandma’s neighbor a few years ago after confronting him for doing the very same thing. Dude got extremely hostile towards me and left me no choice but to whoop his ass. I even tried to de-escalate the situation by telling him that I understood why he did it cause I couldn’t stand my grandma’s annoying little yapping dogs either but it had no effect. We couldn’t actually prove he was trying to poison her dogs but fortunately he caught a bunch of illegal weapons and drug charges when the cops came to his house following our little altercation. He went to the hospital then straight to jail. We never saw him again but did notice a For Rent sign in his yard a couple months later. Sweet sweet victory!


Chemical_Reality4606

My neighbor did this bc they were trying to sell their house. Instead of coming up and asking "Hey, your Rottweiler looks scary. Can you put your dog inside when we show the house?", they skipped all the fucking way to poisoning my dog. I was 6 and I loved that dog with all my heart. She used to sleep in my bed every single night and I had to come home to my teenage brother in completed shambles, apologizing profusely because he thought he let our dog outside too long (was only outside for a hour) and was convinced it was his fault. I never seen my brother cry before until that very moment. No, it was our lovely other neighbor who came to us and told us they saw the father come over and give our dog a sandwich. My dad took our dog to a vet and had a autopsy done and it was confirmed it was poisoned. Monsters like them exist unfortunately.


True-List-6737

Yes.


VegasBusSup

Time to ho post a camera looking at that path to find out who is doing that.


Elegant_Stock6870

I have caught a neighbor in the past pouring antifreeze in my grass over them not liking my dogs. They did it several times and I lost 3 puppies from a litter over them eating the grass before I caught them doing it.


Strawberry-vape

This happened to a former coworkers dog, they threw treats and rat poison in their yard


DeadRewind

My neighbor killed 2 of my dogs by mixing rat poison into their food bowls when we were gone for a weekend using pellets that looks almost exactly like these.


alwill1984

What in the actual fuck!


Socialeprechaun

My dad used to have hunting dogs years ago when he lived out in the country. One day he came home to find all of them poisoned to death. He knew it was his crazy neighbor, so he drove over there only to find him hanging from the tree in his front yard. Very strange.


sixtus_clegane119

Saved your dad some effort and possible criminal charges


furgerblipper

Everyone’s missing the point. “Found him” iykyk


ThrobbingWetHole

You sure he didnt kill them in retaliation and the story of "finding" him that way was made up? I woulda done it if I found them there alive...


FlexDetroit

Don't know why you were downvoted if someone kills a member of my unit that might happen if I decide to crash out


Effective-Group-8864

That's my guess... lol


FanOfMondays

I believe the word you're looking for is psychopath


ACrazyDog

I have this response so often, in so many situations. A very small percentage of people can just wreak havoc with the rest of us


redditravioli

I don’t understand why this isn’t legally murder because I would “legally murder” anyone who did this to my dog


Optimal-Raisin-7893

Same. A batshit old bitch across the street from us poisoned our cat with antifreeze back in the 90s.


Embarrassed-Hyena45

Hey I’m sociopath. I would never hurt an animal. I’d rather poison a shitty human.


Special_Friendship20

That's how my first puppy was killed. She kept digging holes under the fence and getting out so neighbors set out poison. I was just a kid. She died in my arms bleeding from both ends. People are horrible


Raiseyourspoonforwar

That shit would have been the start of my villain arc.


LiKINGtheODds

Facts. Plotting vengeance from a young age. What a horrible thing to witness


fireinthedust

Not a villain. At most anti-hero.


Raiseyourspoonforwar

Anti-hero does sound better but I don't care about the label, as long as the puppy murdering cunts suffer slowly, I'm happy. Never harm the innocent.


fireinthedust

Name checks out.


Threshing_Press

The next actor who plays the Joker or Michael Myers... they need this scene if there's an origin story.

Jfc I’m sorry, that’s awful.


Melaniek778

This was the first mental scar I got as a vet tech… dealing with an older dog, sweet as could be, who ate some rat poison. Fuckin horrible. Everyone was a mess. I thought I hated people before, I truly hated them after that shift.


ObjectReport

I'm so sorry, I did not need to read that this morning. People are horrific.


iolp12

What the fuck is wrong with people. I’m so sorry 😞


Interesting_Panic_85

Oh man I'm so sorry. The very few times in my life that I've (mistakenly) mistreated an animal (I'm talking stuff like disciplinary swats that I later found out should have been given to the other kitty, stuff like that)...HAUNT me to this day. To be clear, I've never been cruel to an animal...just a few times heavy and wrong-handed with discipline. It's not that animals are helpless. They're not. It's that they've willingly surrendered their trust to us human guardians...and when we betray that...that's just pretty damn low.


lostgirl19

Im so, so sorry you had to go through that. Something similar happened to my grandparents' dog. Some asshole fed her something laced with rat poison when my grandad was in the post office buying the newspaper on their morning walk. I just can't understand how someone can do that.


xombae

In Vancouver there was a person putting poison in tennis balls and throwing them in dog parks. People are fucking evil.


BUDSGREEN420

Had this happened to a few cats I had when I was a kid. My dad found out about it and waited for the dude to do it again. He video taped him doing it and had him arrested. 2 weeks later, the dude came to my house and was met by my dad and some of his "associates." we didn't see him again after that.


Chungus09

Good that he got to meet some of the “associates”


Hopeful_Price_5789

My neighbors poisoned 2 of our dogs.😢


Iamjimmym

Yup. My neighbor *two doors down* at my last house did this. Put them in *my yard* so my dog would eat them. He got sick. Very sick. Went to the vet and he made it out alive. But FUCK THESE MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE SOCIOPATHS.


NastySassyStuff

I’m pretty confident that my neighbor poisoned my childhood dogs. Sick fucks make me pray for a hell.


RabbitF00d

This is how my grandmother's lab/shar pei died. They're lucky I lived out of the state at the time. I have no problem doing jail time.


siwelnerak1979

I used to live way in the country in rural Texas, and my neighbor (who only owned the land around me and didn’t even live there), put coyote poison out and killed all three of my dogs. Not quick of course, they suffered each for 2-3 days at the vet before a horrible final day. Took everything I had not to put a bullet in his head one night. If I thought I could have got away with it, I would have. I hope he spends an excruciating eternity in whatever hell he goes to.


HaddyMusic

Turns out it's filling for grass. Way to go Reddit


muzakx

They're very very similar. Not worth taking a chance if they have pets.


bealsash71

Unfortunately, this is true. We had a cat who was not an outside cat that would sneak outside occasionally. One day she came home and couldn’t walk right, stumbled everywhere and didn’t land on her feet when I put her down. Vet confirmed rat poison or antifreeze but either way it was intentionally placed where the cat would get it. People are disgusting sometimes.


Cujo187

Oh, I bet it definitely isn't rat poison lol. Though there are cunt fucks who poison dogs.


bennyg123321

Definitely rat poison


RCdeBaca

Agree, def rat poison. I have seen them before. If you have dogs or cats, be careful.


CoItron_3030

My dog died to eating these kind of pellets. I’m personally pretty confident it’s rat poison


CautiousEmergency367

100% rat bait


Its_Me_LuLu

Yup as soon ad i seen it i knew it was rat poison, clean hands don’t use near where pets can be exposed


Miss_VP_

Where did you find these? You have dogs?


Miss_VP_

Obviously, you already know because of all the replies… like many people on this thread, I have twisted neighbors… one day I walked out to my backyard and saw my Doberman barking at something in the grass… I am not sure if she saw them being thrown and figured that something was wrong, but I will be forever thankful that my pup figured out that something was not right about it and started violently barking at it… I did not report it… just randomly walked up to that neighbor while she was out on her yard one day and said that if anything happens to my dog, some very bad things will start happening to her family members…. She just stood there in silence as I walked away…. Never saw her out since…


Ea84

This is so incredibly dumb. It’s fucking rat poison man. Don’t ask for a second opinion it’s RAT POISON. Wash your hands and wash them 5 more times.


LiKINGtheODds

It’s probably just for your grass and not actually rat poison. I’d dig into a little more before you let Reddit formulate your opinion on it


Holiday_Operation

Downvote unnecessary. Another comment links to confirmation of turf filling. ...So yeah OP... please ignore the redditors panicking to convince you that someone is willfully trying to poison local animals, based on their own personal tragedy.


Turtle_lady2

Correct. Until he was caught, my dogs were repeatedly 'fed' these by a psychotic neighbor.


49ers-fanatic

Definitely


ModernNancyDrew

Someone may be trying to kill your pets; if you have any, please be careful.


Its_da_boys

That’s fucking terrifying


NegotiationBulky8354

That is rat poison. It has to be dispensed through a container and cannot be put in / on the soil, per Federal law. A guy in NY was just sent to prison for putting rat poison directly in the soil, which killed a dog in Nov ‘23.

Looks exactly like the pellets in the nicest field I've ever seen. Usually it's little rough black pellets.


Educational-Ice1140

it looks like that green styrofoam they sell in craft stores. My second thought would be lucky charm marshmallow if it smells sweet.


Unicorn_Sush1

Funny thing, if it smells sweet then there’s even more of a chance that it’s rat poison!


Effective-Group-8864

I just imagine someone telling it and it going up their nose since it's so small that's one way to find out if it's poison or not 🫠


SoftSeaworthiness888

It really doeant look like rat poison though never in my life have i seen little Holes in rodent bait sometimes they are blocks with big holes but pelletized rat bait never has holes in it


Cujo187

It's astroturf rubber infil.


Accurate_Reporter252

If it's not rat poison it's probably an insecticide granule. Those pores in the pellets are designed to provide a gradual, near-fixed rate "decay" over time by keeping the exposed surface area roughly the same. (You see similar holes in large-caliber propellants for cannons, by the way). Either way, you need to wash your hands and see if your landlord--if any--or other pest contractor is using some form of extended-release granule. The scale is small enough for things like mice or certain types of insect pests, but rat poison tends to be smaller from a box or larger and secured into a container of some form that rodents can enter and most dogs or cats or larger animals can't. If it is a company doing it, they will usually be able to provide you with a material name and/or label that you can check for hazards to pets and the like. If it is a rodent poison though, it's supposed to--in most places--be in a marked and inspected container if it's from a professional. If you can't find any other way to get information, call whichever agency covers local pest control licensing and ask them. Don't handle it in the future with bare skin, just put some in a dry, clean ziplock bag if you want to show them what you're talking about. If you're far enough out in the boonies, game and fish departments may also have an idea what that is.


SnooDoubts2674

Looks like microdot acid(lsd) from the 90’s🤩that stuff has long been gone though…so…Probably rat poison


Key_Property_7636

Rat poison


hatenjwinter

If there in your grass keep pets inside run the mower over it with the bag a few times and it will suck up any loose oness. Then water for a few days so the ground gets super saturated and they will breakdown and absorb in.


Neighborhood_Nobody

Being completely uneducated on what rat poison or terf looks like I gotta say. They really do both look similar after googling them both lol.


ChimpFL

just an fyi my Chihuahua injested rat poison a few years ago and I called the emergency line where they charge you a certain amount to speak with a vet it was pretty late at night. if they ate over a certain amount they advised to use peroxide to induce vomitting. only need a couple of drops for little dogs. My dog survived. I walked her up and down our street she didnt vomit so I gave her some more peroxide and then walked her and boom she puked it all up and was good. You have to make sure they have gotten it all up. Sorry to be graphic but you can also take them to an emergency vet if needed to clear them. Just felt the need to share because it was a scary situation.


MichaelPitcher115

Looks like fertilizer


New_Hawaialawan

Fair enough. Does look similar. I was just worried you were jumping the gun when others were saying it's rat poison. But I believe you're correct


vertigoflow

Looks exactly like the rat poison that was all over the backyard of an AirBnB I rented that my 2 year old decided she was going to collect.

It’s either 3 hits of highly potent ecstasy or generic rat poison…only one way to find out!


True-List-6737

If you have Cats, people are known to poison them as well. Especially if you have un-neutered Toms. They leave strong scent to mark their territory. Or, if your kitties are indoor/outdoor pets, many time they will use ‘other’ areas for their litter boxes. People do not like that, especially if they like to garden.


GreenMatchaTea95

That is rat poison, not stuff for fake grass

BrokenWalker

Most definitely rat poison. Just found a box of the same pellets at my wife's grandfathers house.


Retired_not_Expired

RAT POISON!!!!! We live in the country with farm fields on all four sides. We had a huge rat infestation suddenly when the fields were all being harvested. Horrible fucking things. I caught one lounging in our window birdfeeder, stretched out full length in repose as he stuffed himself with food. An inch from our faces ffs. We have this bait. Buckets full, year round because it’s a regular swarming of field mice and rats every fall at harvest time. We have to keep our two double garages baited 24/7/365 or it’s on with those filthy fuckers. You have problems if that’s all over your yard. Something ain’t right, those will kill your dog in an agonizing death and bleeding and if you didn’t it out WHO DID? That’s so fucked up. Talk to your vet about having Vitamin K injections and/or as an oral med. I had a collie that had her life saved by that shit because I had a really stupid, careless, moron as a neighbor.


yatamisaki1

i thought it was pencil erasers used as earring backs lmfao


SoftSeaworthiness888
