Dead rabbit on the sidewalk.
Dead rabbit on the sidewalk.
There is a very large dead (for a few days) groundhog on the sidewalk. People have to walk over or around it
Walking by this building, there was a small black and white dog tethered in the yard. Its fur was extremely matted and falling out in places. They have another dog in a fenced-in area that is too far from the sidewalk for me to see its condition.
There's a huge wasp or hornet nest in a tree along the sidewalk/path. It's the last tree on the pathway (where the road ends), on the west side of the road. Many people walk along this path. Thank you in advance.
2 Dogs off leashes AGAIN today. Chickens roaming freely throughout neighborhood most afternoons and evenings. 3 cats roam free all day every day. Lots of poop....so tired of cleaning up their animal poop not to mention the contamination they’re spreading. We find at least 3-5 splats of chicken poop on our sidewalk & driveway every evening. Dog and cat poop in our flower gardens. These people need a farm. They live in city limits...not the country! I’ve seen animal control truck in here couple of times after I’ve complained but they never seem to catch them. I’ve spoken to them a couple of times to gently request they keep animals in their yard but I have to live here.
Dead opossum just east of entrance to Sycamore Village at 2200 East Moores Pike near sidewalk.
Dead deer near Moores Pike sidewalk. First seen and reported last Friday. 5 days in the heat and getting ripe.
There is a dead deer near the sidewalk along Moores Pike.
This family has a makeshift fence that is unstable and proceeds into the sidewalk. They also have a dog that lunges and feels unsafe (especially with a makeshift fence so close to the sidewalk) when walking by. My kids are scared and it's on a busy neighborhood corner that a lot of kids walk by.
Can we start to have a conversation about the deer population in this town? I walked Sussex Dr yesterday and counted ten deer (!) in 3 groups: doe and 2 fawns, doe and 3 fawns, doe and 2 fawns - all within 2 city blocks!! As we approached the first group using the city sidewalk the mother agressively came after us, stomping her foot. We had to cross the street and walk very slowly to avoid her defensive aggression. This is all well within the city limits. Why should I have to fear them when I'm walking around my own neighborhood? They've already forced several of ourneighbors to install concentration camp fencing to protect their landscaping. Many of our other neighbors have all their landscaping in cages. I like watching deer, too, but come on now - at this point they are pests without a predator to keep them under control. Have we gone too far? Culling is in order. Note: I didn't even mention the costs of hitting one with a car or motorcyle.
