A 9-month-old baby remains in critical condition at an Atlanta hospital after she was attacked by two raccoons.
Newton County Sheriff's deputies are investigating how the raccoons got inside the home and to the child, who was sleeping in a crib in the same room as her mother.

My bother had a once cat, and one night he found a raccoon in the house, eating the cat food. Some time later, the cat never came home one night. Poor cat.
The raccoon came into the house. I highly doubt that these people had them as pets.
Must be something going on in raccoon society.
its called rabies and they are dirty SOBs
Good target practice hope the silly woman doesn’t get shot during the process....Hi Joe, thats a new one..hope your doing well.....:O)
Is that Robert Gibbs?
That raccoon in your pic is missing a bullet hole or two.
I am with Goat Granny. Hate raccoons.
That one is just too cute to make a bad comment on...
Yea, I have a friend on free republic that hates them also...been called a few names on a thread quite a while ago where I listed all the different ways to kill a coon...LOL usually city folk that think they are so cute how could anyone kill them...
Only took that shot because we rarely seem them in the daytime where I can get a photo. Plus they would take great umbrage if I shot one at the nature preserve. They would likely never let me come back and take photos. ;)
We live in the middle of Houston near the bayou and back up to a ravine. We have armadillos, squirrels, Raccoons, Possums, huge rats, swamp rabbits, skunks and coyotes. My 3 Jack Russel Terrorist think they live in hunting dog heaven.
Yes, but notice...I take my own photos...hehehe :) I can only harass you with the one. But...I am now going to go on raccoon patrol and try to snap a few more. Just for you! :)
Be very, very careful. There is a type of rabies that is epidemic in wild raccoons right now.
We had a doggie door into our screened porch in East TX but it had a solid barrier door that we could close up at night and we used it. My biggest concern was a skunk coming in in the middle of the night. I did NOT want to walk out and be greeted by one of those!
Yes, shutting it at night, that would be the only way to use one. A friend woke up in the middle of the night (single woman) hearing a loud noise. When it quieted down she got up the courage to go and look, she found a drunk woman asleep on her couch. She had tried to beat the door down and when she couldn’t she slid in through the doggie door. If you had a burglar enter your house, it would be a small burglar. :D
Yeah, we were in the country but who knows. I had big dogs, so the doggie door had to let my 80 lb spinone in. One of my friends was telling a funny story the other day about a possum that got into their house thru their doggie door. Her dogs cornered it in the bedroom.
I wouldn’t have one that went from the outside into the house. Mine only went from the outside into the screened porch, so if something did get in, it was not getting inside the house, but the dogs could get into a sheltered area (mostly for when I was out there grooming, so I didn’t have to keep opening the door for them.
Once had a cookbook on how to prepare road kill, it was funny as the dickens..
