: A dead possum is lying on the sidewalk in front of this house.
Looks like a dying young raccoon on the road/sidewalk outside this address. It was curled up in a ball but moved it's ears when it heard me walk by - didn't move it's body at all though.
Dead deer on the sidewalk.
Can we start to have a conversation about the deer population in this town? I walked Sussex Dr yesterday and counted ten deer (!) in 3 groups: doe and 2 fawns, doe and 3 fawns, doe and 2 fawns - all within 2 city blocks!! As we approached the first group using the city sidewalk the mother agressively came after us, stomping her foot. We had to cross the street and walk very slowly to avoid her defensive aggression. This is all well within the city limits. Why should I have to fear them when I'm walking around my own neighborhood? They've already forced several of ourneighbors to install concentration camp fencing to protect their landscaping. Many of our other neighbors have all their landscaping in cages. I like watching deer, too, but come on now - at this point they are pests without a predator to keep them under control. Have we gone too far? Culling is in order. Note: I didn't even mention the costs of hitting one with a car or motorcyle.
2 Dogs off leashes AGAIN today. Chickens roaming freely throughout neighborhood most afternoons and evenings. 3 cats roam free all day every day. Lots of poop....so tired of cleaning up their animal poop not to mention the contamination they’re spreading. We find at least 3-5 splats of chicken poop on our sidewalk & driveway every evening. Dog and cat poop in our flower gardens. These people need a farm. They live in city limits...not the country! I’ve seen animal control truck in here couple of times after I’ve complained but they never seem to catch them. I’ve spoken to them a couple of times to gently request they keep animals in their yard but I have to live here.
Dead rabbit on the sidewalk.
Dead raccoon beside Rogers Street sidewalk (west side of street), next to a Bradford Pear.
Unfortunately a muskrat carcass is on the east side of Lincoln Street between second and smith. It is in the sidewalk on the east side of Lincoln
This dog runs loose through our neighborhood and I've seen it running on the sidewalk of State Rd 46. I am always concerned it will be hit by a car and injured. I see it on my camera in my yard all the time, but today I see it and it looks like it has scratches on its back and it is limping (see picture). It seems like a friendly dog but I'm just worried about it. I believe the owner is at the address listed. I sometimes see it running around with another dog that looks very similar as well. I'm not sure if the same person owns both dogs.
