Dead deer off of Moores pike, just east of the entrance to Sycamore Village
There is an aggressive cat in our neighborhood. It is gray with white markings - chest is white. I've never gotten a great look at it. It's fast. I'm aware of 4 attacks on other cats over the last few months: my neighbor's cat was attacked, my own cat was attacked (required stitches), the cat came into another neighbor's house through a cat door and tangled with a cat in the house (I saw it then also and tried to capture it but failed), and this morning my wife heard/saw it attacking another neighborhood cat. I don't know if it belongs to a neighbor or is just wild. I don't see it often.
The deer population in our neighborhood is totally out of control. Neighbor & her husband counted 22 deer in one area near here last night & I counted 10 in one yard yesterday. One buck has a ten point rack or larger. Often 4 buck in one herd….multiply that with major population of doe and you & I can only guess estimate the population! With Winslow Woods near by they have a wooded habitat yet hardwoods & most decent timber is being destroyed. This woods could be sequestered for a controlled bow hunt. Families could receive venison with proper processing. Im certain you’ve heard much of this before, yet please drive near Hickory Stick & surrounding area betweeng 6-8pm to inspect our concerns.
Dead skunk left in cardboard box at the end of Madison Street.
There is a tan dog that belongs to the house at the corner of S. Madison St. and Coolidge Dr. It is outside of the house, unleashed at least 2-3 times a week. The dog is sometimes aggressive to pedestrians and cyclists who pass by the house. I bike to work a couple of times a week and it has followed me for a couple of blocks and growls. I have seen it growl and chase pedestrians. I have tried talking to one of the individuals that lives there about the animal and they just became upset at me. The dog sometimes wanders off their property and down the half of the block into my yard and into my and my neighbor's yards. They send their middle school aged daughter down the street to get the animal and she comes into other peoples yards and back yards to get the animal. The dog does not come to her so just ends up chasing it back home. This has been taking place all summer since late May/early June.
Jeanette Schuler, 2389 Winding Brook Circle, continually has her dog Teddy off leash. This morning it was on my deck barking at my dog indoors. She can't clean up after her dog if she is not there or cannot see him
Blue house on SW corner Madison/Coolidge - owners constantly allowing dog to roam off leash and unsupervised, even though they have a fenced yard. Dog barks aggressively at people and other dogs that walk by and often approaches them. Owners will claim “he won’t hurt ya”. If dog is unleashed roaming around and being observed it is often by one of the younger children. Recently witnessed dog roaming across the street while residents were getting in the car to leave and seemed to have barely remembered or noticed dog was outside. We frequently see dog outside in yard during rainy weather on stoop leading in to garage. Owners are irresponsible and neglectful.
Our neighbors at 2400 s Madison often leave their dog outside all day, and it barks nonstop. It often gets out of it's fenced yard and aggressively corners people walking the neighborhood and lunges at other dogs on leash and people. I have called a live complaint to animal control recently, and my wife has in the past, but most recently the owners took the dog in their car, drove around the corner, and waited for animal control to leave and then came back, at which point the dog was immediately wandering around the neighborhood while they were inside ignoring it for several hours. The owners are clearly negligent and have not made any effort to protect others or this dog in situations where he is being aggressive and they have been asked to intervene directly and even become irate claiming the dog "has the right to" the neighborhood. Today I am writing this complaint because the dog has been outside barking every few seconds for the past 8 hours, and for the middle of the day was free and roaming the surrounding intersection. I do not see a car at my neighbors home and am not even sure if they are there.
Unfortunately, There is a dead squirrel on the road in front of our house to remove. Thanks!
