Hi Virgil, I wanted to follow up with an email you forwarded to yourself today. The issue wasn't just a slight sprained ankle. Robin BROKE her ankle which required 2 weeks of a cast and 2-3 months of an air cast. We had to cancel a prepaid trip to CA because of this incident with a deer that would not have been the case if there were no aggressive deer in Bloomington. I know this might seem like a slight case to you, but it is huge for us. Once again, we have health insurance, but if we didn't...it would have been a huge Emergency Room expense, Orthopedic doctor expense x 3 and physical therapy. Missed time from work, etc. This isn't just a slight matter and I am sure if it had happened to someone else in the city it might have been looked at a little more seriously. The owners before us had been fighting the deer for years before they sold the house to us and now we are fighting the deer issue. Once again, will it take a death of a child (which I am sure will happen) before the city will do something about the urban deer problem? We have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars trying to have a decent garden and fighting these deer and every year their population keeps growing and doing more havoc to the city of Bloomington's resident's gardens as well as the danger they cause and nothing gets done about it.

A skunk was ran over in front of our house a few days ago. It's smelling up the area pretty badly. It is on the white line on the edge of the road so, it's not getting flattened and destroyed like it would if it were in the middle of the road. I would appreciate it if someone would come pick it up and dispose of it. Thank you.

An adult deer has died on my neighbor's property (this neighbor is currently away and is unaware of the situation). The deer obviously died a few days ago and now the smell is really overwhelming - you can smell it a block away! Can someone come out to collect the carcass ASAP please? It's in the back yard of 421 E 1st ST. (We're at 415 E. 1st ST).

Neighbor's cat is coming across the street and hunting songbirds in my fenced backyard. Neighbor's name is Jennifer and she lives at 802 W 7th, Apartment 1. I have spoken to her three times about her cat. I live at 720 W 7th. I have a fish pond in my backyard and her cat poses a hazard to my fish as well as the songbirds in my yard. It is also making a toilet of my garden.

I live on E. Kerr Creek Rd., a little bit east outside of Bloomington. at around the 6000 block of E Kerr. Creek Rd., there is a house that has three dogs, two of which are pitbulls. While I myself have had pitbulls in the past, these two dogs look extremely scary. Even to this point, I would not care that they are scary, as much as care about the fact that they are behind a wire fence that it looks like they could easily devour if they wanted. I have no desire to get the owner(s) in trouble or to get the dogs taken away, however, every time I leave the house it looks like they're going to jump over the tiny little fence and kill me. I wanted to bring this to the attention to someone, with the hope that something could get done. I absolutely desire to stay anonymous. Thank you.
