A DOG owner has reported to police that her dog was killed after eating pasta laced with poison which was left at a children’s play area in Achelia village in Paphos.

The British permanent resident said that the incident had been reported to Paphos police and alleges that a package containing poison was spotted at a neighbouring establishment. She said she is concerned for the safety of children playing in the area.

The play area is next to the Akis Taverna in Achelia.

Sadly the indiscriminate poisoning of animals is on the increase but this is the first case for a long time where the perpetrator has been reported to the police. Only five weeks ago a friend's dog was poisoned in Pissouri.

The poison was allegedly laid by the Taverna owner of the Akis Taverna. Not a taverna to visit under any circumstances. Such an evil thing to do.

The owner of this tavern has actually boasted about poisoning cats and dogs. He told one customer at his tavern that he had poisoned 30 cats the previous day. Evil man. Worse still he put the pasta in a childrens play park. What if a child had picked it up and eaten it?
The consequences don't bear thinking about.
