Recently, residents of Lviv have encountered mysterious toxic substances on the city streets and parks, which directly threatens the health of pets.

In particular, a pink poison, often used against rodents, has been discovered and can cause serious poisoning or even death of animals.
How to Detect and React to Danger

First Steps if Poisoning is Suspected
If your pet accidentally ingests poison, be sure to give it a large amount of water, try to induce vomiting, and provide sorbents such as activated charcoal or Enterosgel. The next step is immediate hospitalization to the nearest veterinary clinic.
Legal Aspects of Animal Cruelty
Remember that cruel treatment or harm to animals can lead to not only administrative but also criminal liability, including the possibility of arrest or imprisonment.
