In Macapá, Amapá, a disturbing incident involving a stray dog has come to light, where the animal was filmed agonizing and ultimately dying, allegedly as a result of poisoning by an elderly man. Security footage captured the moment the man lured the dog with food before it succumbed to its injuries shortly after consuming the contaminated meal. This tragic event has raised alarm among local residents who have reported multiple cases of poisoning of pets in the area.

Witnesses have reported that the suspect was seen placing food in two locations on the street and calling the dog to eat. After consuming the food, the dog appeared weak, collapsed on the sidewalk, and began to convulse before dying. Following the incident, local authorities detained the main suspect for questioning. The case has gained attention and will be further investigated by the Amapá Civil Police, specifically the Environmental Delegation (Dema).

The rising concern among the community highlights a pattern of suspected animal cruelty and underlines the need for stricter enforcement of animal protection laws in the region. As more witnesses come forward to testify, the investigation aims to uncover not just this particular incident but also the broader issue of animal welfare in Macapá. The community's response and the police actions following this incident may lead to increased awareness and potential legislative changes regarding the treatment of stray animals in Brazil.
