this is what i found in my coop when i went out there today, some how it found a way in but couldnt find a way back out, it was just a young one probably from this springs litter, no birds were dead surpriseingly, guess he was just helping him self to the chicken feed, but he will be helping him self no more, short piece of roost works really well for a wheapon of Raccoon Distruction.

aaw, he looks terrified. I'm a softy for pups, I would have let him go.

I think at that point he was beyond the terrified stage...

granted sence he was young and had not killed yet if he had been in a live trap or something of that sort i might have taken him for a ride and releaced, but sence he was loose and i had no way of getting him confined with out getting ripped up my self, i had to make a quick call and dispatched him, in the long run i have no tolerance for poaching varmits that want to use my coop as their own personal grocery store,

It's illegal in most states to dump a racoon in another local.

Glad you got him before he got a bird!

We have no tolerance for them here. Hate to say it - but they've caused our greatest losses, what more, it irritates me that they seem to kill for pleasure. When a coyote gets a bird, they kill quick and drag off to eat the skin, the bones, the meat, the entrails, everything right down to the feather. I respect that. They have to eat too, though I dislike feeding them outright. The raccoons kill viciously, messy and have left birds half dead though gravely ripped apart. They snack on a bird head or a gizzard and leave the rest. Nasty animals.

I read the posts on the facebook page. People are so sweet. You did relocate it. No way no how am I handling a raccoon! This is not a Disney movie. Those are not animated teeth. The raccoon will not offer you a flower! He will rip your hands and arms to shreds, and after you drop him, and he gets away, and you get your rabies treatment, he will grow up and come back and rip up your birds. I like what the last guy said, "gun???"
