Since we moved here, these are the times I have called Animal Control:
#1 rampaging skunks…..first couple of years we lived here….was told told to hire private pest control. Got you kids to pee all over the yard that night instead!
#2 dead birds…worried about avian flu….told to bag and trash
#3 dead skunk….worried about rabies…was told to bag and trash
#4 live bat that fell out of a dead tree I was cutting up…..cops showed up instead of animal control but bat had flown away by then…cop thought I was crazy until I said I was a cub scout leader and started talking all about the benefits of little brown bats. Cop was an Eagle. He did insist I put down the chain saw while I talked to him.
