Bridget Mire, a spokesperson with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said by email that under state law it is illegal to feed large carnivores, such as bears or cougars. While municipalities or counties may have local statutes forbidding the feeding of other wildlife, it is currently not against state law to do so, she said.

What did she think those Raccoons were doing in the middle of the night...Making more Raccoons!

Hey, Lady? I raise Treeing Walker Coon Hounds. One or two of them would take care of your SELF-INFLICTED PROBLEM with hours. ;)

She told deputies she started feeding a family of raccoons decades ago and it was fine until about six weeks earlier, when the number showing up went from a handful to around 100

I think I understand the problem.

Nothing a few boxes of 22LF will not take care of.

Hmm...I think I see the problem here.

Could also be a business opportunity. Lemon aid out of lemons, know whumsayin'?

> It was not clear what caused their numbers to balloon suddenly. <

Isn’t it obvious? It was raccoons telling other raccoons.

And as a side note, this is why I was always against giving free cell phone service to wild animals.

I think you can draw a parallel between this and illegals entering the country. Feed a few and soon you’re overwhelmed.

I believe the Deputies have the necessary information to solve the puzzle...

There is a moral to this story if people would just see it.

We had one 2 or 3 raccoons threatening the three feral kittens that mama feral cat brought to our doorstep, and who camped out on our screen porch. They’d eat the cats’ food, and sleep in the cozy little house with heated floor we made for the cats. One got really mean, so we adopted the cats and brought them inside.

We trapped and relocated the ‘coons. We heard they always return, but they didn’t.

We had occasional raccoons come to our deck and raid the mealworm feeder for the bluebirds. I’ve since added red pepper flakes every time I refill it. Problem solved.

Umm. The bidumb/harryass team is doing this to the United States.

Crazy raccoon lady.

“…she started feeding a family of raccoons decades ago and it was fine until about six weeks earlier.”

Ya’ think there might be an object lesson there?

[null and void]

Don’t feed the wild animals!!!

Reminds me of that guy with the YouTube channel who feeds the raccoons hot dogs on his deck every night.
