Dr. Lisa Silk of Isla Veterinary Clinic confirmed that blood work and clinical analyses completed on two pets show evidence of antifreeze poisoning.<\/p>\n<p>Just weeks before Christmas, the families of the killed pets are devastated by their losses. \u201cOur pets were intentionally poisoned and the mere fact that our neighbors\u2014just a quarter mile radius from our street\u2014had pets that expired in the same way\u2026is not isolated at all.\u00a0 It was blatant, done with malice and was downright cruel,\u201d said Cathy Champaco, the owner of two poisoned pets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy would anyone poison family pets?
