Dead dear in the road on Henderson
Dead dear in the road on Henderson
There is a dead skunk that is located outside of 817 W 11th Street. Its body is partially in the road and partially on the sidewalk as if it was trying to climb up it and died. It's been laying there for 2 days and flies have started gathering and of course the smell is awful.
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.
Numerous exotic and wildlife species being held in a residence. Generally in poor condition with too many rabbits and guinea pigs. Wild animals also being held. Adoptions of exotic animals. Inside structure is unfinished.
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.

Hello, I am looking to get some advice on how to trap a racoon that continues to come into our home. We have sealed off the cat doors several different times and it continues to come back. We have purchased a have-a-heart trap and used marshmallows, canned wet cat food, canned tuna, etc and it's not working. If there are other things that we could be trying please let me know. Thank you!
On June 4th I saw a fawn with a doe (not uncommon), but the doe had a severe gash on her underside. Flesh was hanging down and I could see her insides. The both walked away. Over the next several days, I saw an lone fawn, but no doe would ever emerge to be with it. Now, for the past 3 days, this fawn has been laying against the house at 2205 East Laurelwood Drive, about 15 feet off the side walk (not very protected). I've lived in the area for 19 years and have seen hundreds of does with fawns, often separated, but this definitely seems different.
In Hoosier Acres (E Adair Ln, S Meadowbrook Dr, etc.) there have been several sightings of Coyotes. There is at least one pair with one of the animals appearing to have an injured hind leg. The animals walk by homes and people during daylight without too much fear.
Crows are roosting above our house and street they have completely covered our cars driveways and trashcans for weeks. There needs to be someone to not only fix this problem but as well clean it up, it's a health hazard.
