    At some point they have to realise they are just feeding dogs to that bridge.

    Add some fiber, throw a cabbage down as well.

    A place where dogs throw themselves off a fifty foot drop onto rocks at the rate of one to two per month.

    … is not a sentence, but merely a fragment.

    Can’t help but wonder if any dogs were actually thrown off the bridge by some sick person. Especially as the bridge gets more well known.

    The idea of dogs staring at something unseen and then suddenly suiciding is freaky though. I could definitely see this being incorporated somehow into a horror story.

      Idk…reading the article it sounds fairly understandable. There are a lot of certain small animals in the area that dogs would like to chase. They run after the scent and get confused thinking that it’s not a far drop or that the ledge is wider than it is. So it leads to a number of unfortunate accidents.

      I think of it like this…have you ever gone down a set of stairs with an odd pattern to the carpeting making it difficult to see where the edge of the step is? There are all kids of perspective tricks and such our eyes can have difficulty with.
