TORONTO, June 23 (UPI) -- Toronto police were asking for the public's help Monday into how a public park dog drinking trough was poisoned and sickened five animals.
Sgt. Ray Meech told the Toronto Star said antifreeze had been put into the recirculating "hydrant" pump, and at least one of the dogs was expected to die.
"Antifreeze is sweet and the dogs will drink the water," Meech said.
The trough is in a designated off-leash area of the city's sprawling and wooded High Park.
Since only one emergency veterinary clinic was open Sunday, staff were able to quickly connect the incidents and call police, Meech said.
The area has been cordoned off, and Meech said it would be up to the city when it reopens.
In February in another part of the city's suburban west end, three dogs died and several others were sickened by rat poison left in a public park, the report said.
