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.
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.

Baby fawn has been found alive but with a broken leg.
Neighbor at this address has been putting out a large table of dried corn for the deer population. Every morning and evening 4-12 deer will be present. Taking the trash out a young buck became confrontational and almost charged me. I wish they would move this to their backyard or stop completely. There are many young children on the street and I do not want them to have an unsafe interaction. Thank you
Kittens got into nest and found baby in mouth he’s fine he’s ate healthy poop but I can’t find mother he’s been sitting in different spots
It would be nice if there was a link on the city website for employees to access email with.
I just tried to search agendas and minutes from MPO Policy Committee meetings. No luck. It used to be easy to find things on bloomington.in.gov website. Not even the search function is useful on this "upgrade."
It is very difficult to find email address on the website. Where are they? Thanks, John
