TORONTO - Police in Toronto closed nearly 100 beach volleyball courts on Sunday after players about to begin an end-of-summer tournament found razor-blade booby traps hidden in the sand.
Searches of the courts turned up 12 of the traps, blades embedded in blocks of wood and buried in the sand.

One of the blades found at Ashbridges Bay beach |
The blocks of wood were between eight and 15 centimetres long. A machine cut them and the blades were glued into deep grooves.
The first of the blocks were found by a volleyball player warming up ahead of the tournament.
Volleyball players found eight of the blades. Police using metal detectors turned up another four.
The incident drew comparisons to last winter, when poisoned wieners were planted in a Toronto park. One dog was killed and another 17 were made ill.

Jesus Christ.
We have had several incidents of people deliberately doing things to dogs (no word on any volleyball haters though)--poisoned sausages left in the bushes at a dog park, glass and metal shavings found on the gound at a dog park, etc. It's a sick world. The weirdest thing to me is that it would happen at a dog park. A place for dogs. If someone doesn't like dogs, they don't have to go there. It's probably not going to solve the problem of the neighbor's dog barking at night or whatever the person's (or people's) problem with dogs is.
People are nuts. Where do you find this stuff?
fucked up!
it was a small slice and I haven't had it in over a year! it's just a really soft chocolate cakey type thing.
