We've been made aware that members of the public have laid rabbit poison (pindone) around tracks in Waimanu Lagoon. This was not authorised by Council.
Pindone is highly toxic to dogs. If you suspect your dog has eaten pindone call your vet immediately for advice.
Pindone bait is small green pellets. Council staff will be doing a check of the area for pellets.
