Raccoon havoc
On 8/16/2008 1:36 PM HeyBub spake thus:
Video of animal destroying kitchen. NSF language http://www.break.com/index/raccoon-w...n-kitchen.html I haven't looked at the video, but are you suggesting using wild animals for home demolition projects? If so, I'm going to have to insist that they be paid a living wage. -- "In 1964 Barry Goldwater declared: 'Elect me president, and I will bomb the cities of Vietnam, defoliate the jungles, herd the population into concentration camps and turn the country into a wasteland.' But Lyndon Johnson said: 'No! No! No! Don't you dare do that. Let ME do it.'" - Characterization (paraphrased) of the 1964 Goldwater/Johnson presidential race by Professor Irwin Corey, "The World's Foremost Authority". |

I watched the video, and it was interesting, but we didn't get the end of the story. Couldn't he have used a brookstick and a wire stapled at one end to the stick, and run the wire around the hole the raccoon was peeking out of, when he wasn't there, and back to the stick, to grab the raccoon when he stuck his body part way out to get the nuts? Like the sticks the pound uses to catch dogs that might be vicious. |

I've shooed whole families of them out of the house with no problems, but I would never, ever try to snare one. |

I just would not call them dangerous, although my chickens would beg to disagree. |
