From News24.com:
Pretoria, South Africa - Three armed robbers are thought to have poisoned 14 dogs and two cats in one street early on Tuesday, to make it easier for them to break into the homes of their owners.
Residents in the street watched aghast as their pets died of poison. There there was chaos when pet owners discovered their dead and dying pets. Neighbours warned each other after one homeowner saw a robber in his garden mixing poison into some polony, to give to his dogs. The men already had poisoned animals at houses across the road, on either side of his home and further down the street.
The robbers was caught red-handed by the police a few minutes later!
I just can't believe it, they have no conscience at all! They killed 14 dogs, just to steal a few things. Its so cruel...

Some people really are that evil! It's so sad that you'll take another's life just to gain a few monetary posessions!

These type of things happen to often. I have a 8 foot fence around my farm house. The dogs do not go near it and so it makes it very difficult for the robbers to come close. I also have trained my dogs not to take food from other people even it it is a nice piece of meat. Only problem with that is, my dogs won't eat if I am not at home. So I can not stay away longer from home than most 2 days. Robbers do not have any concios and would even kill a human being for a measly cellphone. It is depressing.

I was very sad to hear this as I love animals, especially dogs. How could anyone do this to such beautiful animals who did nothing to hurt them. I think that they should receive the same punishment that they did to the dogs and cat. It is sick and shocking what people will do these days to rip people off and steal things. Hopefully at the very least they will be spending the rest of their lives in jail.
