Two weeks after it was pulled from the South Winterborne, a large amount of the most poisonous plant in the British Isles is still rotting away on the banks of the stream. Though some poisonous plants loose their poison as they wither Hemlock Water Dropwort is not one of them, and so it remains a threat to the many dogs in the village. Not all animals in the village street are under control, in recent months I have seen two stray dogs and one pig wandering down the road. Remember a young Labrador died recently in Dorchester after eating this plant.
