Animals in Nottingham were put in danger after a piece of bread with pins hidden inside was left at a popular dog walking spot.
A dog walker was shocked to discover the ‘booby trap’ at Lenton Recreation Ground in Lenton during a Sunday stroll.
It comes days after a little boy discovered sausage rolls laced with spikes in a park in Hampshire.
Locals have warned pet owners of ‘evil individuals out there’ – although some have suggested the bread could have been stapled onto a tree as part of an ongoing Reddit trend.
The dangerous item has been removed, but there are fears there could be other pieces nearby.
Nottingham City Stray Dogs posted online: ‘Please use caution when walking your dogs at Lenton Recreation ground/ Lenton Boulevard side.
‘Dog Walker has found bread with pins embedded. The bread has been removed but there could be more left.’
Lenton Drives and Neighbours Residents’ Association posted saying: ‘There are some evil individuals out there – dog owners beware. Please share.’
Animal lovers were shocked by the find, with one person writing on Twitter: ‘I just don’t get it. Staples, pins – put it into something edible and consequences will happen.’
