My neighbor is putting out poison of some kind and I have outdoor cats. So far two chipmunks have been poisoned and one is dead, the other is dying as I write this. I am very concerned for the safety of our cats and dog. I too am upset by the cruel poisoning of these innocent chipmunks. Who do I contact about this? This neighbor has done this before, year after year. I have heard them discussing it. One of our cats was recently very ill and nearly died. We now believe he got into the poison or ate an animal that had been poisoned. What can we do? Thank you, Lisa Cameron and Caroline Pynes.

I live in the Bryan Park area (1412 S Henderson) and have noticed a rat in my side yard/alley near my house. My traps are not proving successful, and I am wondering if anyone in pest/control can help. I am concerned about this rat breeding and causes more issues for my neighbors and I. I also am a dog owner and although my dogs are up to date on their vaccinations, I am concerned about possible diseases the rat could be carrying. Thank you.

There is a dog which appears to be in need of food and water - pacing inside a fence on the east side of S. Henderson St. between Thornton and Moody. The dog has been doing it for several hours. Thank you.

2322 S. Montclair Ave I'm concerned the chicken coop is not large enough. Also the chickens to free range in a backyard without a fence.

We have a deer in Bloomington IN who has damaged her right rear leg. It looks like she got into a car accident and has a road rash on her left hip. Her right rear leg dangles and we don't know if she has a broken hip too. She struggles to walk and is very thin and emaciated despite summer being her best time of year for food. She has three fawns that follow her or sometimes wander around without her. Is there anything that can be done with the mother and her fawns? We are concerned that she will die this winter as it seems very difficult for her to find food and get around. It is also very disturbing to see her walk around as she is obviously very hurt. Thanks.

It is disturbing to be in our neighborhood right now because we have a female deer that I have written about before who has a dangling rear right leg and a broken hip. She had 3 fawns this summer, but yesterday we only saw 1 fawn with her. She is in heat right now, and there is a male buck chasing her incessantly. We saw them 3 times in our neighborhood yesterday late afternoon. If the buck mounts her, she will probably end up severely damaged because she cannot take his weight with her broken hip/leg. And if she happens to survive...I doubt she will survive birthing a fawn or two next spring. I don't enjoy seeing animals suffer this much living in a city where deer aren't really supposed to be living. This would be a different issue had it been in the country. Bloomington has a deer problem and I wonder if it will take a killing of a child before anything gets done. Numerous of my friends have had their dogs attacked by deer, children attacked by deer and a deer went rampant inside a resident's home. Please advise....

There is a skunk carcass on the sidewalk just south of 527 S. Washington St. (South of 2nd Street, on the East side of Washington St.) I walked there this morning around 10:00. The skunk had probably been killed on the street within the past 12 hours, and then something had dragged it onto the sidewalk. It would be good if someone could remove the carcass. There is a skunk odor over the neighborhood, and the carcass has been torn apart quite a bit. Thanks very much.
