I can't stand raccoons

They eat our semi-feral's food as well.

They're just damned evil intelligent rats with hands. I don't care how "cute" they look: they growl and hiss and destroy things worse than any other creature around.

Also, they are very dangerous disease carriers.

I've forgotten what is in their scat, but it's bad stuff. The biggest problem, though, is rabies. Rabies is a disease native to raccoons, so they don't die of it. They're just carriers, so you don't want to get bit by one.

On the other hand, when I was a child on the farm my dad shot a raccoon and my mother cooked it. I considered it delicious. I've been tempted to cook one, but I'm not sure what the health risks of city raccoons are.

Around here you need big pipes in the pond . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - June 17, 2012, 01:12:26 AM EDT

Given the pond takes up the front yard - (scoenye) - (14) - June 17, 2012, 09:57:09 AM EDT

Ashton'd best cease derision; egregious fumblings garner hatred in judgemental klans. Lest matters natter on (precipitating quagmires), raconteur Scott transliterates umpteen verbs. Wordwright Xanadu, your zIWETHEY. Accordingly, blithely calling due eclectic, freewheeling games heedlessly invites jabber. Kenning LRPD meanings necessitates occasional, personal, quiet ruminations. Such thoughts unleash virtually wanton xenophilic yearnings: Zen Achieved.
