Relocated to better neighborhood
"Frank Logullo" wrote in message ... wrote in message ... not to mention if the cat had survived it could well be carrying rabies. those shots dont work 100%. Ingrid Rabies is endemic here as is West Nile virus and Lymes disease. I handle trapped animals gingerly and lay down newpaper in trunk. This raccoon left a few bugs behind on the paper. Also he had not bathed recently Frank Where should we sent the certificate of merit? |

Relocated to better neighborhood
http://www.wildlifedamagecontrol.com/raccooncontrol.htm
http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/vme/DrSue/raccoon2.html#trap in very urban areas there should be no skunks or raccoons. in suburbs when they begin using people's occupied homes for nesting there are too many. I agree. it is better to kill them quickly than relocate. not everyone can do that. but I think they can contact control officers and have them pick up a trapped animal. my mother has an idiot neighbor who is specifically feeding the neighborhood skunks and raccoons. of course her suburbancity doesnt have a law against doing that, one of the few laws it should have. Ingrid "Vox Humana" wrote: In that case I would suggest a quick and humane form of death. Furthermore, while your statement may be true, it has nothing to do with the matter at hand. But since you brought it up, how does one determine when the population needs to be managed? Is that something that civilians should be doing by trapping animals who are attracted to their homes by food that was left out? Should the raccoons know that the food was only for the birds? Wouldn't the state's department of natural resources or some other agency better deal with wildlife management instead of a homeowner with an SUV? I don't see how relocating raccoons solves over population as much as it puts the "problem" in someone else's back yard. Also, it would seem like nature takes care of population issues when people don't artificially change the balance. And, since you brought up the issue of predators, how many predators, like wolves and coyotes, would a person tolerate in their neighborhood - a person who can't abide a raccoon digging in a flower pot? We already have posts warning of the dangers of raccoons. Large predators also carry disease like rabies. If you thing your pet would get torn-up by a raccoon, what do you suppose would happen to it when it meets a predator large enough to kill a raccoon? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List Manager: Puregold Goldfish List http://puregold.aquaria.net/ www.drsolo.com Solve the problem, dont waste energy finding who's to blame ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unfortunately, I receive no money, gifts, discounts or other compensation for all the damn work I do, nor for any of the endorsements or recommendations I make. |
