For the past few weeks there have been dogs roaming free in this area. I have nearly hit them in the street a couple times and one actually did get hit by a car a few days ago. I think they belong to the big red house in this block. They don't appear to follow and leash or restraint requirements. I am concerned for the animal's continued safety.
Is it possible for someone to check out this property for animal abuse? I just walked by today (via the alley) and they seem to have a lot of growlings dogs in cages that were covered with blankets.
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.
I have had an ongoing problem with a neighbors cat(s). I am severely allergic and have told them this repeatedly, contacted Animal Control, the officer had actually left a cage several times at my home only to catch other critters and never the cat. I have taken pictures over the couple of years documenting. He walks his cat(s) and laughs when I repeatedly ask him to keep the cat off of my property. I am not able to open my garage door because the cat tries to get in. I should not have to deal with cat hair, cat waste, on my property. Officer Eubanks is the one that has helped me for two years. I left a message for her recently asking her what my next step is. Haven't heard anything. What can you do to help me. This is a huge medical issue for me and I need to know who is going to assist.
decaying rabbit carcass in the street. Mark St. corner of Nancy. It is at the end of my driveway but in the city street. I would like it cleaned up, there are lots of dogs in that area.
Road kill: a possum seems to have been hit by a car and is lying dead next to the road.
Dead rabbit on sidewalk in front of 622 West 6th St. Probably hit by car. House is vacant.
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 dead black cat at 1201 W. Allen St. Right past Mother Hubbard's Cupboard. Not sure who to contact about this. Thanks.
