PalmaA Palma resident reported this Saturday the discovery of a meatball with nails inside next to the entrance of the Parc de les Estacions. The object appeared this morning in a thoroughfare frequented daily by hundreds of people, including families with small children and owners walking their dogs.

According to the witness, a truck working on the installation of Palma's Christmas tree stepped on it, revealing dozens of nails that had been premeditatedly placed inside. The finding causes concern due to the danger that an object of these characteristics could pose in such a busy public space, especially for the animals that walk there and could ingest it.

It is not the first time that alerts have been raised about this type of animal trap, as on other occasions, neighbors have reported similar findings in places like the Carnatge promenade, where hundreds of people with pets also go.

For the moment, with the information provided by the resident, it is not possible to determine who left the object or with what intention. Nor is it known if a complaint has been filed or if the Local Police have opened an investigation into the case.
