Dog death at Stanmore Bay not caused by Toxins
Dog death at Stanmore Bay not caused by toxic poisoning
24 August 2009
The recent dog death at Stanmore Bay is unrelated to the on-going investigation of toxic poisoning on Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf beaches.
Post mortem results on the dog indicate it died of natural causes.
The investigation into recent dog deaths on Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf beaches is continuing.
The local and government agencies responding to the issue appreciate the public’s ongoing support and cooperation as they systematically try to identify what has caused the recent dog deaths.
Auckland Regional Public Health Service is advising continued caution with beach activity in the Hauraki Gulf and strongly recommends that the public follows this advice:
* Children should not be taken to
Hauraki Gulf beaches
* Dogs should not be taken to
Hauraki Gulf beaches
* Other visitors to the beach
should not handle any marine life, in particular any dead
marine life or birds
* People should not swim from
beaches, but swimming off boats is considered safe
*
People should not collect shellfish from beaches within the
Hauraki Gulf
The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) is not advising any restrictions on recreational fishing.
