For the second time in as many days, a dog has had to be put down after consuming rat poison found on Winthorpe beach.
He said: “How many more dogs have to die of poisoning before police investigate?
“My dog [Suzie] died last night.”
This comes after Alfie, another dog sadly passed away on Sunday, November 13.
The dog is believed to have eaten rat poison, which had ‘purposely’ been planted on Winthorpe beach.

Charlie Kearn posted on Facebook: “I don’t think I’ll be taking my girl to the beach for a while.”
Kali Chimrian added: “What if kids pick it up? [This] is a police matter.”
Lincolnshire Reporter contacted Lincolnshire Police, who said they have not been made aware of any incidents.

As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
