The dogs were found near one of their feeding areas in the Musaffah industrial area.
As many as five abandoned dogs have died in a suspected mass poisoning in Abu Dhabi, according to local animal welfare activists.
According to Sarita Harding, a volunteer at Animal Action Abu Dhabi, the dogs were found near one of their feeding areas in the Musaffah industrial area.
"It was our feeders that first saw the dead dogs. It was a painful sight. Many of them were bleeding from the nose," she said. "This is grisly, the plain murder of animals. This is one of the worst such incidents we have seen recently."
"We are getting the autopsy done to establish the dogs died from poisoning. The symptoms are clear. Most of the rescued dogs were in terrible condition from vomiting, diarrhoea and bleeding from the nose," said Harding.
At least 10 more dogs are currently fighting for their lives, and Harding added that more dead dogs may be still undiscovered.
"The numbers can go up, as more could be lying dead out there," she added.
"We do not know how many rescued ones will make it."
