Anti-Freeze

lau200:
There have been alot of cases in the borough where i live and sadly that was what caused the death of my beloved penny a few years back :( i think the companies that make it should reformulate it so that it doesnt smell so attractive to cats. Its heartbreaking to watch your cat suffer and die from the poisonous effects  :'(

It is horrible, there were 48 poisonings in Somerset. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/9231121/Pet-owners-lock-up-cats-indoors-as-anti-freeze-killer-claims-48th-victim.html

I think I remember a campaign being started to add something that tastes revolting to antifreeze, at the moment it is actually attractive to small mammals. I can't find it just at the moment but will keep searching.

ETA, Found it, it is called the Stop the Blue Deaths campaign. https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/uk-eu-parliaments-law-defra-ban-all-antifreeze-preparations-unless-they-contain-a-bitterant

SamMewl:
we have two areas now locally that have had suspicious amonts of cats with anti-freeze poisoning. i worry that any cat hater can 'accidently' spill anti freeze and the more people know how effective it is as a poisen the more people will do it.

LouiseJ:
So do I

I know its good to let people know, but hope most people have enough sense not to let it put ideas into their heads  >:(
