Two adult stray dogs and a two-month-old pup were allegedly poisoned to death in Kurinji Street in Gomathipuram on Sunday night. Three other dogs which also consumed meat reportedly laced with poison have survived following treatment at Tallakulam veterinary polyclinic, while another dog is still missing.

Anna Nagar police police have registered a case. The postmortem examination was done on the three dogs and samples were sent to the forensic laboratory of Madurai Medical College on Wednesday to determine the cause of death. The report would take a week, said Dr. Nataraja Kumar, Regional Joint Director (Animal Husbandry).
