I am a pet owner(8 teacup yorkies), and I think it is a truly valid warning, regardless...

They are always picking up leaves and sticks and stuff to chew on while they are outside. Sometimes even sampling dirt and grass, lol...

They LOVE the smell of chocolate, and are always try to persuade me to let them have some. I think that cocoa mulch would be irresistible to them.

I'd worry as much about the poisoning, as I would the sharp edges of the pieces causing all kinds of internal problems, including hemoraging, and blockage.

Thanks for the warning, whether a "Calypso" died, or not.
