The sanctuary got the heads up about this a week ago. While never designed for pets, some owners modify them as collars for their animals {don't ask why, that's for another thread, but for the love of god please stop doing it!}.
Anyway, the scare came to light when a friend of ours in Dorset had a very very poorly cat come to his surgery. the owners told him that the poor thing had injested some cats and thanks to his determination he was able to confirm the type of bean and alerted the authorities. Typically the media don't seem care about harm to pets, and have concentrated on the human side of things :mad:
The good news is the cat has fully recovered , and Jim tells us no other cases have been reported.
The Eden Project has withdrawn from sale bracelets which are decorated with a potentially lethal tropical seed.
The bracelets were on sale in its shops in Cornwall for about a year.
