Roast raccoon used to be featured on restaurant menus.

Looks like a kind of scrawny and hungry raccoon.

These things think they live here and they actually walk in if you leave an opening, said resident Lauren Flanigan. The raccoons sound like illegal aliens. Lauren better watch out or one of the raccoons will take her job.

Could this be a euphemism for “criminal illegal aliens”.

It’s probably gay with Aids

Just a reminder to any Freepers in West Harlem: It is a violation of Federal Law to use rat poison except as directed on the lable. Do NOT leave rat poison where raccoons can get at it.

Sounds like a job for Al and Jesse!

Raccoons and skunks are notorious for carrying rabies, so this also has health implications.
To: Gamecock
Oh the IRONY!!
City dwellers tend to litter like crazy; food wrappers galore. No wonder they have infestations.

Here in S.E. Michigan communities such as Sterling Heights, Warren, Roseville and Macomb, varmint control companies catch the coons and whatever else then take them north about 20 miles and release them on state land.
A number of years ago I worked with a gal who lived out that way and she told me her husband had shot about 20 coons from their back porch over the course of one week as the coons were rummaging around the garbage at the back of their property.
She couldnt figure out why there were so damn many coons out there but as it turns out, their property borders all that state land where the pest control companies release the coons
.
At that same time I met a guy who traps coons as a hobby then sells them to a furrier that sets up his truck at the Great Lakes Crossing parking lot every Sunday. He said that he does all his trapping on that state land out by my friends house
.

If they had some Burmese Pythons it would solve their problem!

Yup and “trap and release” is a major culprit in the spread of rabies. What these people need is a .22 with plenty of ammo.

My, the ‘statement from the city’ is certainly reassuring, isn’t it? What a heap of politically correct BS.
Racoons are good eating if prepared properly. Oh wait, this is NYC where residents are more afraid of guns than they are racoons. Sorry.

They do the same thing out here in the Pa. countryside.
BOOM!
But they only do it once here.
