Those racoons are really cute little things that carry rabies and a
host of other parasites and germs that can infect humans, pets, and
wildlife that contact them or their droppings. They are the wildlife
equivalent of teenage hoodlums. And they are far from endangered. If
I had a gun I would feel comfortable using it on them. As it is, I
encourage them to eat the anti-coagulants that I happen to leave
around. And not just because they ate my lotuses, their fifty dollar
bananas.
========================
We removed the little pond out by the road because there was no way to keep
them out of it. Since I'm in a rural area we can't get rid of them. For
every one relocated (or removed in some way) another takes it's place in a
few days. Our new neighbor's two huge tom cats have finally made inroads on
the overpopulation of squirrels and rabbits, but they don't even look twice
at the coons.
