Oh obviously I am baiting them and feeding them very well. PETA would give me a gold star. I have heard tales of people having raccoon destruction but this is my first, first hand experience in all the 20 + years of having a garden.
I 'feel' like Bama and Rahm and Axelrod have set up shop stealing my very long and hard work. I know each stalk of this corn personally, as I had to literally in ankle deep mud on June 16 stand them back up after a 3+ inch rain and wind storm. I have the 'feeling' these animal terrorists were waiting in the neighbors thicket watching me as I prepared for them a feast of their taking.
In a nutshell I believe they are doing a huge disservice to the locals here because this is a pretty poor rural area. When the fields are harvested they go in and poison what is left rather than allowing locals or even organized groups such as the food banks and churches glean what is left, and believe me there are bushels and bushels left.
Anyway, with that said, my dislike for more government intrusion and regulation places me at odds with my animosity toward the above mentioned growers when I read this article in this morning's paper:
