Thanks, Southenders for leaving chicken and pork chop bones all over the place. Do you not realize that you could potentially kill someone’s dog by your stupidity? Seriously, the bones can splinter in the intestines of a dog and literally rip the intestines to shreds. This is an incredibly painful way to die. Stop it and smarten the hell up! Put the bones in a garbage can, for crissakes, or you might kill someone’s beloved pet. —Pet Peeved

I thought LS was going to be all over this one based on the title….
sadly, they went in a different direction.
aren’t dogs supposed to chew bones?
Or do they have to be specific, like human femurs?
Who’s to say the bones didn’t start out in the garbage can and wound up being scattered around by scavengers – raccoons, crows, hippies or less discerning canines.
“Which of these things is not like the other?
Which of these things does Ivan despise?
Which of these things should be shot for a bounty?
Guess correctly and win a big prize.”
I’ll take hippies for a thousand, Alex.
I agree Ivan, crows/raccoons probably pulled the trash apart.
or bumms looking for bottles…
heard all too many times how they never clean up after themselves.
Dogs have chewed bones for centuries and they are still here. They are scavengers. Your pooch will be fine. Bones need to go back in the ground, ashes to ashes so to speak.
Dogs have chewed bones for centuries but not chicken or pork. Know from experience. It’s not a happy time.
It’s probably those damn crows. Or the bums. Or the imaginary yard sale crow man.
Bones belong in the green bin not a garbage bag. So even if the critters or dirty hippies did rip open the bags, the bones should not have been there anyway. What kind of assclown doesn’t recycle and compost?
You let your dog wander around a city unsupervised without a leash?
hope your south end dog chokes on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cereal killer…roo
I hope you get scurvy on your next voyage halifaxmentor.
Why is the ‘beloved pet’ out wandering around unsupervised ?
If it is just out running around, is it truely loved ?
I wonder why there are no laws governing dogs running around loose ~;)
Did you know that by over cooking your meat makes the bones brittle & more prone to splintering…so if you ever want to get rid of a problem coyote for example…recook the bones before you toss ’em out ~;)
I agree with Stephen Harper aka ‘the devil’. The bones belong in the big green bin.
They were probably scattered around because some idiot put them in a garbage bag and then some garbage-eating scavenger like a crow ripped the bag open with his little pecker . . . and voooom! chicken bones all over the South End.
I don’t think hippies had any part in this. For one thing, hippies know that chicken bones belong in the green bin where they can be taken away to be composted into nutritious soil amendments.
It’s cooked bones that cause the problems in the tummies of puppies and kitties. They don’t cook food in the wild.
raw turkey necks won’t hurt your hound
