My ex-employer used to defend the big companies that dumped toxic chemicals in that river and other areas. I don't want to catch "Blinky the three-eyed wonder fish" and serve it to my family. Herculanium finally had something done about the lead poisioning, they moved the people out while the company that did all the polluting is supposed to clean the town up? We still have Times Beach and the dioxin spill. Plus hundreds of other contaminations they haven't told us about yet.
A neighbor of mine down the road a bit, claims that she saw a big mutated raccoon in her yard. It was as big as a dog, and was knocking over trashcans and doing some serious property damage. I saw it in my backyard and it ran away when I turned the porch light on. Big and fat, they don't normally grow them that big do they? I'd say it was at least one hundred pounds and about as big as a medium dog with a weight control problem.
