Description
Ocean Beach residents voicing their concerns about poison being used at a local park to get rid of gophers. They say there are no signs up to warn them about the poison being used in Dusty Rhodes Park.
CBS 8 talked to Mackenzie Gunnels. She lives in Ocean Beach and visits the park often.
"Every single day, every evening around this time," she said.
Her dog always comes with her.
"I'll bring all kinds of toys for her, but she mostly just wants to run around and stick her nose in holes and try to hunt something," she said.
Gunnels is concerned her dog will come across the poison being used on the gophers. She wishes the city put out signs to warn residents.
"That's definitely something they should post or make people aware of. There's tons of dogs out here doing the same thing," she said.
Natalie Mazzotta also lives in Ocean Beach and has seen pest control workers at the park multiple times over the past few months. She's asked the company about the poison they're using.
