In the early hours of Tuesday, two dogs were discovered dead at Sítio Baraúnas in the rural area of Alegrete do Piauí, prompting their owner to report potential poisoning. According to the Military Police (PMPI), the owner stated that the animals were healthy the day before their death, raising suspicions of foul play. The police captain, Souza Torres, emphasized the importance of reporting such incidents to ensure proper investigations are carried out.

The captain noted that there had not been previous reports of animal deaths in the area, which adds a layer of urgency to the current case. He highlighted that in suspected poisoning of animals, it is critical for pet owners to involve authorities quickly. This not only aids in the immediate investigation but also helps establish accountability for what he described as a grave and harmful crime against society.

As this situation develops, it is expected that the Civil Police will take over the investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the dogs' death and potentially identify the party responsible if malfeasance is confirmed. Community awareness and prompt reporting could be crucial in addressing and preventing similar incidents in the future.
