DEAD Possum (3 or 4 days now) on grass between the multi-use pathway and High Street between Arden and Queens Way. Thursday when first reported it was in High St (quite large), Friday when next reported it had been moved by the buzzards to partly on the pathway. Today someone has used a long stick (if you are looking to finally pick it up, you will see it next to the long stick) to move it away from where the children view it as they walk to school. Is there nothing in the City's ordinances to speed up having dead animals picked up? This seems like a health hazard and it quite loathsome to see.

Good evening. The very dead possum was moved from the middle of High Street to the side of the road where it remained until it was somewhat eaten by about 5 buzzards. It is now on the partly on the sidewalk. PLEASE get this picked up. Many elementary school children are walking by this and it is quite disturbing. Thank you!

There is a dead possum on High Street between Arden and Queens Way. Last time I called Animal Control concerning a similar issue no one came to assist, so I am hopeful that this is a better way to get this addressed.

Just had 3 chickens roaming neighborhoods for months and months and months. Tearing up mulch beds, plants, grass, wishing well we had on porch, pooping everywhere. They are finally dealt with now we have another black chicken doing the same. Another neighbor thought they could do the same because of the 3 that roamed freely for so long. Thanks for getting the first three taken care of. These people believe they can do whatever they want in the city limits.

My husband does donation pickups as part of his job, today he went to this particular house. He called me after he was back at work quite upset. He told me a woman named Agatha lives here and has a dozen or more cats in individual cages, saying they don't like to come out because they are shy. He also said they did not have litter boxes and the whole house smelled of urine.

A male yellow lab with a black collar has been wondering around frequently in the neighborhood around the intersection of S Walnut and E Hillside. I personally spotted him on 11/28/24. I tried to approach him but was not successful. He showed ABSOLUTELY NO signs of aggression, but would not let me get close to him. He was running in and out of the street. I posted him to the Lost & Found Pets page on Facebook and received many comments that he is out like this frequently. I have also seen many posts on the page about sightings for this dog since my original post. I can only attach one image, so I’ve chosen some comments from my post about someone else’s sightings. I wish I could provide the owner’s address, but I do not know it. I am not sure if there is much you can do in this situation, but just wanted to report it since it has been happening so frequently.

To City of Bloomington, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out on behalf of myself, my roommates, and our neighbors regarding a growing concern in our neighborhood. Every evening, around 4:00 p.m. and continuing through the night, we experience an influx of hundreds of crows flocking to our street and surrounding area. This results in a significant accumulation of bird droppings on our cars, as well as on nearby properties. The volume of droppings has become so excessive that it poses a risk to residents walking or entering their vehicles, as the droppings frequently land on people and properties. While I understand this may sound unusual, the situation has persisted for over two weeks, and we are becoming increasingly concerned about the potential health implications. The sheer volume of droppings is difficult to understate, and we believe it could lead to further issues if left unaddressed. The attached PDF includes proof of others cars as well as a photo of just one area of trees where the crows sit for hours. We would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance on how this matter can be resolved, as we feel it is beginning to impact our quality of life. Thank you for your time and attention to this issue. We look forward to your response.

There have been 2 stray dogs around my property/eating my trash off and on past 3 weeks. They’re obviously starving and seemed to be stray animals. They’re always walking the road or the road over (Pottersville/mills creek). Spencer humane society is not taking new animals. Can you help?
