MUKILTEO, Wash. (AP) -- Someone called 911 to report a screaming man dragging an animal along a highway in Mukilteo.
When officers arrived Thursday they found a dead raccoon on a leash.

HA!
Guy walking down the street dragging a chain.
Q
“Why are you dragging that chain?”
A
“YOU ever try pushing one?”
I kid you not, there was a dead deer along RT 40 with a balloon either on it or very near it, last week.
It was tragically festive.
This place is getting weird.
Okay, that was Calvin Coolidge.
"Darryl clubbed him good
But the sack Darryl brought weren't big enough."
Photo’s not showing but I got it, anyway.
LOL
Luckily they had that leash handy.
Now they just have to track down Darryl's pet hog. (Last seen headed toward the local Mosque...)
I loved that show.
The finale was perfect.
In my neck of the woods, I passed a recently killed raccoon on a sidewalk next to the road. A man with his dog was next to it screaming at the cars passing by. The next day I passed the same place and there were colored balloons and flowers around the dead raccoon. People are making into sacred cows all forms of wildlife. Politicians are taking advantage of that religious sentiment. Where it goes is anyone’s imagination.
How do people stay calm in any situation? My mom had a good saying that puts things into perspective:
“You can’t cry over spilled milk.”
There actually was one episode where Larry announced that they had a possum (as a gift for Bob) in a burlap sack.
“Darryl clubbed it and Darryl put it in the sack.”
Are you inferring that the man is walking his pet raccoon over to the meat market? Perhaps they do a better job than he can to dress one out. Perhaps the market will buy it from him. As one report I read from the web, I give this quote:
"Raccoon meat is some of the healthiest meat you can eat," says biologist Jeff Beringer. "During grad school, my roommate and I ate 32 coons one winter. It was all free, and it was really good. If you think about being green and eating organically, raccoon meat is the ultimate organic food," with no steroids, no antibiotics, no growth hormones."
Raccoons might seem like your pet dog--too precious to eat (unless you are Zer0). However, once you have eaten one, it's a treat you can't pass up.
There was/is a video/interview about Detroit. Some old guy is talking about how poor he is. But in the backround you can hear dogs barking in his old house. (And I’m thinking “if you’re so poor why do you have so many dogs!?”) Then he goes out back and starts talking about his dogs. He uses them for raccoon hunting. I think he got $5 per raccoon, and he said Detroit is full of them. He had a freezer full.
Hey - here’s an even better video on the guy than what I saw:

;D
Except for that annoying rabies thing, they’re just delightful.
:-P
Hey! any man who runs around in a rainbow skirt better have a bad-a$$ dog!
