Dead animal (maybe gopher or groundhog) swarming with flies and probably maggots blocking the sidewalk. Going south on Washington, it’s the left sidewalk. Approximately across from 514 and 515.
Fox won't leave our back yard. We have kids and pets and we are worried about rabies and public health issues. Fox is leaving carcasses of random critters around as well. Fox went after our small dog.
There is a baby skunk roaming around in the yards and on the street. I'm concerned it will be hit or hurt by another animal. I think it may have lost his mother.
Dead Deer.
Groundhogs nesting under shed behind home. Started with two and now multiple have been spotted.
There is a bird in Fountain Square Mall. It keeps flying around the building and is not finding a way out. We cannot figure out how to catch it.
Our neighborhood is being overrun by free roaming cats. I've witnessed firsthand cats kill song birds in my yard. I chased a cat the other day in an attempt to save a bird. I nearly hit a cat with my car last night because they just sit in the road. I don't know how to address the issue as people don't understand why it is a problem to let their cats roam free.
Deer would not allow me and my dog to walk north on Stull Ave where I live. Doe kept coming at us no matter what side of the street and had to go along Park Ave in order to avoid her. This is the second time this week that this has happened; first time we did see a fawn on the grassy area of 830 S Stull. I am so frustrated over not feeling safe walking around my neighborhood due to the does this time of year being too assertive and charging at me and my dog. There are too many deer in this urban area and something needs to be done to control the population since it seems like it is going unchecked.
Was walking my dog near 811 S Fess Ave around 12:45p on 5/28/24 when a doe charged at us and would not leave us alone. A gentleman stopped his car since he saw what was happening and assisted in making sure we were able to get away. Assuming a fawn is nearby given the behavior. This keeps happening on a regular basis around Elm Heights and I do not feel safe walking around my own neighborhood due to the deer being too aggressive towards both humans and dogs.
Was near 910 S Highland Ave on 5/21/24 around 7:30a while walking my dog and deer came out of nowhere, charged at us and would not back down; came as close as a foot from us. Another dog walker on Maxwell heard the commotion and helped distract it so we were able to get away. Do not feel safe at all walking around the area since I'm guessing there is a fawn nearby.
