[Highland Park] Follow-up re awful thing by our house this morning
Hi, I wanted to clarify something that I didn't say well enough in the original message, and to respond with thanks and information to the many of you who asked if we had called the police. The reason we didn't call the police originally (though we did Sunday evening) was because it appeared to be only the skins (including the head and tail and everything) of the animal, maybe a ferret. While it was awful, it didn't appear to have flesh and blood inside so it didn't seem like it was an animal that was expressly killed for this purpose. Rather it seemed like someone may have gone out and bought the animal skins and then attached them to the pole in that weird and awful way. After a number of e-mails suggested it, and I talked to Lynn, our very helpful Public Safety Chair, I did call the police early Sunday evening & they were very responsive. An officer came and filed an incident report and took the thing away with her. Thank you all for your helpful and caring support in dealing with this. jai Original message: When I went out to get our car this morning, there was an awful thing near our gate. It was a long stick wrapped around with beads and a cord and to the ends were tied animal head/bodies skins. They were from animals that had been alive at one time. We love animals. It was an awful thing to find. What is going on in this neighborhood. jai
