"Psycho Killer Racoons"... regardless of whatever this article is about, this would make an excellent name for a rock band.</DaveBarry>

Just another case of people treating wild animals as pets to the point they have lost their fear of humans. Now they are running the show while the humans fret over their hurt feelings that the raccoons don't "like" them anymore and are treating their pets as din, din.
I would recommend consulting Mr. Browning, Mossberg, Winchester or Remington on the matter at hand.

I've actually wondered in the past why I ~haven't~ seen raccoons here, they could certainly find food and mischief in the barn. Could be the dogs keep them wary enough, could be the pack of coyotes in the back forty.

No joke.
Whimpering, whining, hand wringing, liberal, government dependent citizens of Olympia, Washington.
Urbanites are an amusing culture. Anywhere else, the coons would just go away, and neighbors would wink at each other and nod. Just break a bag of Purina dog chow in the middle of the back yard and assemble the jury on the back porch. No problem.

Yeah I saw that as well. This report has BS all over it.
"In one case five raccoons tried to carry off a small dog, which managed to survive."
Sure. Five raccoons, acting in concert, trying to drag away a dog, collectively.
Frankly, black bears are an issue in N Ga and western NC. They are becoming suburbanized, less-fearful and intrusive. But we're allowed to carry and use firearms here ;-p

"They're urban raccoons, and they're not afraid."
I can picture them with wearing old sweatshirts and smoking cigars. LOL

I killed pack rats in my cupboards with the stuff - not dogs! Read my answer again. After a week of screwing around at site and having to leave, put small cups of anti-freeze in the cupboards.

>>>If threatened I think they could do some damage to even a sizeable dog.
I had a raccoon threaten my car one night.
I was driven my duster (miss that car!) and as I turned a corner, a raccoon reared up on it's hind legs as if to take on my car.
I stopped and saw this little parade of babies trot across the street behind her.
Once they were crossed, she went on her way behind them.
It was very cute; but I bet you anything she would have taken a run at me if I was in my car.

Urbanites are an amusing culture. Olympia is a small town, I'd not call even the middle of it ~urban~, though I do get your meaning.

I hate raccoons!!
There are very few creatures that I really loathe, but coons are one of them! One attacked my little brother when he was about 6 years old and I've held a grudge ever since. (He's 38 now.)
