An adult deer has died on my neighbor's property (this neighbor is currently away and is unaware of the situation). The deer obviously died a few days ago and now the smell is really overwhelming - you can smell it a block away! Can someone come out to collect the carcass ASAP please? It's in the back yard of 421 E 1st ST. (We're at 415 E. 1st ST).
I live on E. Kerr Creek Rd., a little bit east outside of Bloomington. at around the 6000 block of E Kerr. Creek Rd., there is a house that has three dogs, two of which are pitbulls. While I myself have had pitbulls in the past, these two dogs look extremely scary. Even to this point, I would not care that they are scary, as much as care about the fact that they are behind a wire fence that it looks like they could easily devour if they wanted. I have no desire to get the owner(s) in trouble or to get the dogs taken away, however, every time I leave the house it looks like they're going to jump over the tiny little fence and kill me. I wanted to bring this to the attention to someone, with the hope that something could get done. I absolutely desire to stay anonymous. Thank you.
In the southbound lane of the 46 Bypass between 10th St and 7th St, south of the entrance to Eastgate Lane and parallel to the dead end of the western leg of Eastgate Lane, there is a dead cat.
I would like to compliment the Animal Control department for a job well done. I live in College Mall Apts. on E. 2nd St. near the Mall. There was a clearly injured rabbit hunched down at the play ground area for over 8 hrs that wouldn't move even when approached. The shoulder of the rabbit seemed dislocated and I was afraid a child would try to pick it up, causing severe pain to the animal who would seriously claw or bite the child. I decided to call Animal Control and an officer was sent out who arrived quickly and did a thorough search of the playground area. What we saw when she arrived was one rabbit, somewhat unafraid of human proximity, but hopping around in a reasonably normal fashion. The spot was clear where the injured rabbit had been sitting. Apparently what happened was the rabbit managed, after hours of painful effort, to nudge its shoulder joint back into place, and was just trying things out again as the officer arrived. No way to anticipate that happening. Having the Animal Control officers respond to these situations that may seem innocuous is the right policy. Things could easily have turned out differently and the officer's response could have saved a serious injury to a child, as this occurred exactly at the playground area of College Mall Apts. In a wildlife friendly town like ours, human-animal interactions are very common, and children don't always show the proper caution. Many thanks to that officer and the City. Job well done.
Dead deer next to road on corner of Maxwell and hillside. On hillside, west of the intersection.
My neighbors at 2705 S. Olcott Blvd let out their two dogs to roam their front yard 3 or 4 times per day. I walk my dogs, as do my neighbors who have dogs. With the animals in the front yard, without leashes, it means those walking have to cross the street to avoid the dogs. This is not a problem, except at night. I watch out for the dogs, in order to avoid them, but lately the dogs are let out their front door just as I get the middle of their yard and the dogs come racing at me and my dog, barking and frightening. Besides, the issue of taking over that side of the street, these dogs bark the entire time they're outside, seems anything or anyone can set them off. This can be at 10:00pm and go on. I don't know what to do, because they are not friendly. I need your advice as to how to deal with this neighborhood problem. Thank you for whatever help you can give me.
517 West Wylie Street. This property has accrued a considerable amount of debris. It has had groundhogs, skunks, feral cats and rats living on the property and sometimes under the home itself. These animals are a nuisance to the adjacent property owners and a disgrace to the McDoel Gardens Historic neighborhood. Please help.
There are chickens running free in the front yard at2938 N Ramble Rd W
We have a skunk in the neighborhood who is injured with a plastic ring around it's neck. It drinks from a bowl of water on our porch, which we've found bloody the past several weeks. We finally saw the skunk at night and discovered the plastic ring around it's neck. Can a live trap be set?
