City living suits them fine. They eat what we eat so they don't need to kill their own food. Plus, they are protected by former Mayor Miller's raccoon "no kill" policy.On CFRB friday the talk show host spoke about having a raccoon the size of a Buick on his street.
Actually, they are very adept at using their paws as hands.Someone answered to him that on his street the raccoons drove Buicks!
Why don't we throw a few Grizzly Bears into the mix? Hee, hee, hee. Insert "Grizzly Bear" smilie here.I like them. I wish we had wandering cattle like they do in banff.
I don't think it's a good idea for all the Beavis and Buttheads out there to be firing off guns trying to nail raccoons who really are no harm.City living suits them fine.

I can just see it now, some guy with his hunting rifle going all Rambo to nail a raccoon because he feels it's his right and carelessly shooting and killing a kid (or me). And it would happen and you know it.
Guns are never a good thing, especially in the City.

Some of you might get a chuckle out of this 2007 National Post article on Toronto raccoons.

This will really upset the looney left but we need a raccoon (and pigeon and geese) cull.are there any urban coon hunters selling coon skin hats?

Mayor Miller? Did I miss something...like yet another election?Raccoons were originally imported into Japan as pets but once they reach a year old they attack their owners so these owners released the coons into the woods where they multiply like rabbits. Since the Japanese don't have a silly Mayor Miller they have adopted a "kill on sight" raccoon policy.

Too bad we don't have Mayor Miller to kick around anymore. The raccoons really loved him. If Miller was still around it would probably be illegal to kill bedbugs. Did you hear that he has joined the law firm Aird and Berlis?Mayor Miller? Did I miss something...like yet another election?
Time for you to start phoning Doug and the Fatman.Too bad we don't have Mayor Miller to kick around anymore...

I hear you. Just having a bit of fun with our raccoons and our former mayor. Not you, but some people take this Board way too seriously.Time for you to start phoning Doug and the Fatman.
Over the last ten years I've popped about 20 of the little fuckers. Had one incident about 9 years ago when they chewed threw the aluminum siding in my tractor garage and decided to set up shop there. Impossible to use a gun to kill them had to resort to using a cross bow. You city slickers have no idea how much damage these little fuckers can cause. They can open just about any garbage container on the market today. They can and will kill your cat, when cornered they are capable of chewing up a dog. Nasty, nasty little bastards! Eat a Racoon and make the Bear happy.
couldn't he put one in the over head rack and be okTwo bears board an airplane, each is carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says, "I’m sorry gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger."
