DescriptionWe all know PETA is no fan of the Westminster dog show, but the relationship between animal rights activists and show participants must be a lot more fraught than anyone realized if the handler of a dog that died following the competition is blaming them for poisoning it. There's still no clear cause of death for Cruz, the 3-year-old Samoyed, who died in Colorado following the Westminster show, but "he had symptoms that strongly resembled those of dogs that had ingested rodent poison," the New York Times reports, and his handler suspects foul play by animal rights activists. Handler Robert Chaffin has no evidence and no proof the dog was even poisoned. But somebody did give him a dirty look.
