The woman reported having had to flee her property after 50 to 100 raccoons descended upon it and were acting aggressively, said Kevin McCarty, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office. She told deputies she started feeding a family of raccoons decades ago and it was fine until about six weeks earlier, when the number showing up went from a handful to around 100.
“She said those raccoons were becoming increasingly more aggressive, demanding food, that they would hound her day and night — scratching at the outside of her home, at the door. If she pulled up her car, they would surround the car, scratch at the car, surround her if she went from her front door to her car or went outside at all,” McCarty said. “They saw this as a food source now, so they kept coming back to it and they kept expecting food.”
“The raccoons appear to have started dispersing now that they are no longer being fed, and we are glad for a positive outcome to this case,” Mire wrote.
It has 100% guaranteed I will never donate to another Democrat. I literally donated once in 2016 and now 5 of my 7 most recent texts are from her. The other morning they sent one out that started with "sorry to break your cold little heart....." and had an image attached. They literally sound like a stereotype of an unhinged clinger.
I regretted it until I learned how easy it is to crash and disrupt Dem events.
bortsampson, this is Tim Walz. With 27 days left to go, I'm asking you to dig deep. As a thank you for your support, everyone who donates to this message will receive something extra from the Walz family - a copy of my classic Midwestern hot dish recipe.
do not feed wildlife in general
(but I think a bird feeder seems relatively harmless as long as the squirrels can't get to it)
they can have a little treat (if you look up what is appropriate to give them beforehand)
So strange that all of a sudden, this handful of Raccoons decides to bring along the whole neighborhood. I wonder how that transpired. Maybe it wasn't the same family of raccoons, and it was a rotating cast of raccoons, and they all decided to show up on the same night. Animals are weird.
Hey, just because I’m a Sly Cooper fan does not make me a furry!
…Ok, I am a furry….but not because I like Sly Cooper!
good reminder to please not feed wildlife. If you can't help it, create more healthy habitat for wildlife so they can more easily feed themselves.
Apologies. I'll tell the fellas to take it easy next time. I hope she can look past this and continue to sponsor us in the future.
