There’s apparently a fox problem in Peru.
Alderman Rodney Perez says a few people have reported seeing a fox around the Peru Public Library in the recent weeks. Perez actually had a picture of a fox near Shooting Park Road in broad daylight. Alderman Tony Ferrari thinks there could be a den behind the library.
Perez says he was told animal control can’t do anything about the wild animal. His advice is to keep garbage cans closed and small dogs and cats inside.
Perez says he hasn’t heard of the fox attacking any pets.
