Rats
White and red medium sized dog is off leash running around the neighborhood frequently. It is generally friendly to people but upsets dogs. It goes into people's yards and harassed leashed dogs.
Dogs from two houses were out without leash and came after my dog on leash. Dogs were from houses at 3531 N Hackberry St 3545 N Hackberry St This is the second time the dogs from 3531 N Hackberry St came out to my dog and I while walking.
Dead possum in road, 839 SSheridan Drive, aEln Heights
There is an aggressive cat in our neighborhood. It is gray with white markings - chest is white. I've never gotten a great look at it. It's fast. I'm aware of 4 attacks on other cats over the last few months: my neighbor's cat was attacked, my own cat was attacked (required stitches), the cat came into another neighbor's house through a cat door and tangled with a cat in the house (I saw it then also and tried to capture it but failed), and this morning my wife heard/saw it attacking another neighborhood cat. I don't know if it belongs to a neighbor or is just wild. I don't see it often.
Dead deer
209 N. Sheffield persistent dog barking.
LOCATED AT 212 N SHEFFIELD DR IN PARK RIDGE EAST. This neighbor continuously has pans of food on the ground. Sometimes it is birdseed, but it is currently cat food and has also been cheetoh balls. Walking by, we have witnessed many animals, other than birds and most often NOT birds, eating out of these pans. So many deer, groundhogs, raccoons, skunks, cats. I am not looking for someone to necessarily get a fine, but I do know they’re aware of the deer feeding ordinance, but they have continued to do so so more education seems necessary about the harmful effects of this practice. There are pans in the front of the yard and also around back behind their garden. The dead grass all over the yard makes it a parent how much feeding has occurred over the years.
