In a heartbreaking tragedy, three innocent children in Mexico died after unknowingly eating poisoned bread meant to kill street dogs, a cruel and outdated method used to control the stray population.
The children, aged 2, 4, and 6, had been sent by their mother to buy candy. Minutes later, she was told that the children had fainted near the store.
"I found them and picked them up. I did everything I could," she said through tears. "They died in the ambulance."
Every day, helpless dogs die agonizing deaths, convulsing in the streets as the poison shuts down their organs. In some cases, as this tragedy shows, the cruelty doesn’t stop with the animals — it spills over to humans.
This is exactly why our work at 600 Million Dogs is so critical.
Poison is the #1 method used to kill stray animals worldwide.
Across the world, innocent dogs and cats brutally suffer because of overpopulation. And time and again, communities turn to the easiest, most inhumane solution — poison.
We refuse to accept this cycle of cruelty. Poison is not the answer. Suffering is not the solution.
That's why we’re developing a revolutionary solution: a one-time, permanent birth control cookie.
This breakthrough would eliminate cruel mass killings of stray animals and offer a humane, effective way to prevent the cycle of suffering — before it begins.
This Poison Prevention Awareness Month, let’s take a stand.
No more pain. No more cruelty disguised as "control." No more dogs dying alone, ignored, and unloved.
You have the power to stop this. With your support, we can replace poison with compassion — and save millions of lives.
Thank you so much for caring about animals.

All I have to say is people if you love your children, be careful of what you do, because Karma will get you or yours. And what a heart-touching story where humans finally pay for their wrong doing.
In a way I feel bad for these kids, but in a way I do NOT, because someone has to pay for the inequities of our ancestors, down the line an ancestor of these kids caused the death of a innocent dog or animal, and Karma took revenge, unfortunately it took revenge on these children, "Our children or children's children will pay for our inequities" that is a proven fact.
ABSOLUTELY SINFUL AND UNCALLED FOR . WORKING TOGETHER TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN WITHOUT DEATH IS A TRUE BLESSING FROM OUR CREATOR ! ! ! !
Natalie Rosen: I loathe putting animals to death to control their population. Preventing them from contributing to the overpopulation of dogs and cats with a birth control cookie is significantly more humane.
Same problem with rodenticides.
