Where I live, if vehicular traffic stops or significantly decreases, the raccoon population is going to explode.
Not if starving people are eating the coons.
I suspect that the environmental wackos are actually killing off the raccoons, where I live. A friend of mine remarked that she hadn’t seen any raccoons for a log time and then I got this notice from the local Storm Water board, advising ab out raccoons and the danger that they pose to the storm water.
Evidently, raccoons are naturally clean animals that create what they (the enviros) term, latrines. In other words, they tend to all poop in the same areas, away from where they live. The enviros don’t like that.
raccoon, a bit greasy, but good with quinoa and bacon
