Los Angeles (KNX) - People living on North Laurel near Fountain in West Hollywood tell KNX News reporter Emily Valdez they believe a dog-hating neighbor is purposely putting toxic mothballs on lawns in the community.
LISTEN:
Mothballs are not only highly toxic to dogs but children as well, and local pets are ingesting the dangerous substance.
A man whose little dog nearly died, shared a vet bill that indicated his dog was poisoned by mothballs. The man wished not to be identified out of fear that the suspect lives in his building.
Jackie lives on the same street and is not afraid to speak out. She says this has been happening for years, so the number of dogs that have been sickened or killed is unclear.
Jackie said the community wants the person putting the poison out to be arrested, but the sheriff's department told them they couldn't do anything.
KNX News has contacted the West Hollywood mayor's office, who referred us to the West Hollywood sheriff's station - We are still waiting to hear back.
