Heard the guy renting (Nick Robinson) bragging about how he always keeps his 4 dogs outside outback, and barely feeds them. *The attachment is him saying he hates dogs. Not sure if he was serious, but was hoping someone could stop by.

A deer is dead in front of this house in our neighborhood. It looks like it's been mauled to death. Neighbors heard animals screeching outside around 3:40am. The deer body, bones, and organs are all over the side of the road/sidewalk/and these people's driveway. Not sure if the city can help get it cleaned up.

My neighbors have a large black labrador that is often off lease on the street. Is comes running at me in my backyard barking and growling. I have managed to shout and scream at it to get it to go away but it keeps scaring me and my guests. It has also caused a previous problem by chasing a delivery driver who was coming to my house. I spoke to my landlord about this and both he and I have spoken to the dog's owner. He says that he can't do anything about it because the dog escapes out the door and he then tries to get it back but I am unsatisfied with this response. I should not be terrorized in my own backyard and now feel I can't have any guests over because the dog will end up scaring them. I know that there are leash laws in Bloomington and that the dog cannot be off leash like this but I'm not sure what to do to stop it.

My neighbors at 103 E Southern Drive leave their large dog outside, off-leash all the time. That dog runs loose and into the yards of my two rental properties just across the street on E Southern Dive. The dog terrorizes my tenants who cannot safely spend time outside or even walk to their car in the driveway because of the dog, barking and plunging at them. The neighbors refuse to leash their dog before letting him outside. Both my tenants and I have already approached them and their answer is that the dog just runs out the door. They could let the dog run at Switchyard park just steps away, but they refuse to leash it and have no qualms about their dog terrorizing the neighbors. Please make them stop!

Hi Mayor Hamilton and the city of Bloomington, I am contacting you and your office regarding the problem with the deer in our neighborhood. Once again, the deer are a problem for us and they are outright dangerous. I am not sure what the city is planning on doing with the problem, but I almost feel like I want to hire a sniper (and I am an animal lover) to get them off of our property or now purchase a BB gun. I am not a violent person, but I am at my wits end regarding this issue. Will the city only do something once a deer kills a child? I have heard of stories of dogs being killed by deer as well as homes being trashed by deer who have somehow gotten into somebody's home. The latest is that my wife got a broken ankle because of a deer and it required a trip to the ER at Bloomington hospital along with missed work for both of us. Luckily we have health insurance, but for those who don't...it is a very expensive endeavor that could have been avoided if the city would do something to cull these animals. Lately we have seen a herd of 8 deer roaming around Somax. I would like your opinion on how you plan to fix this problem because I do see this as a problem in our city and especially our neighborhood. Also, I heard that the city has a 2 million dollar surplus this year and wondered if that meant we would finally get the sidewalk and repair of the dangerous culvert that has been promised to the former owners of our house as well as to us. Our taxes go up every year (Judy Sharp just assessed another increas of $50,000 to our home value which raised our taxes again quite drastically). We can't seem to ever get a break from her with her assessments every year and it is quite frustrating. Every year we pay more and more taxes and get absolutely nothing for it. Again, I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Thanks. Best, Ingrid Faber 1104 S. Covenanter Drive Bloomington, IN 47401
