TORONTO Toronto’s dog community is concerned after tainted peanut shells were allegedly scattered in downtown parks. On Saturday, police responded to reports of a suspicious incident in the areas of Canoe Landing Park and Victoria Memorial Square. According to the reports, a man and woman have allegedly been distributing tainted peanut shells at tree bases throughout the areas, police said. Police said they are patrolling the area and have taken samples of the shells to be tested. The investigation comes after a Facebook post surfaced this weekend alleging that a man and woman have been throwing peanut shells with rat poison in the parks for “months.”
