These bandit faces may be 'cute' but they are some of the meanest animals out there and frequently are rabid. My parents have coons living under their deck. I'll be passing this article on to them.

I wouldn't wish rabies shots on anyone.

My dad was a trapper for many years and taught me that wild animals like skunks, raccoons, fox, badger, etc. are all nocturnal and if you see one wandering around in the daylight it is almost certainly rabid.

My dad hated Disney for portraying wild creatures as docile, friendly humans in fur coats. He loved the outdoors and felt that wild animals and their habitats should be protected, so they can be culled. Human contact with wild animals is never good for the animals and seldom good for the people.

Samantha said she was scared because her friends ran away when the raccoon attacked.

When I was six, me and my friends had each other’s backs.

These kids today are pansies.

Puhlese...the "color" of the victim. Was this another case of racial profiling. Have you noticed that the youngster bitten by the shark in Florida waters was white. Obviously, a Demoncrap retaliation for the Gore debacle in Florida in 2000!!

Did anyone notice that Martha Moxley and Elizabeth Smart kinda looked alike. The girls have an X and Z in their names respectively.As yourself "Y". What are the odds?

And what's with this Padilla. Does he have a headlight out????

Foil hats anyone?

Modern rabies shots are no big deal. I had a series about 12 years ago after I was attacked by stray tomcat. I understand that earlier rabies shots involved getting them in the abdomen or something. Now it's just normal little shots in the arm -- I think I had one a week for three weeks, and then the last one two weeks later. And they give you a bunch of little pin prick shots around the perimeter of the wound when you first show up for treatment.

That has not been my experience with coons. - I have found them to be fairly gentile, if a bit demanding, and quite intelligent.

I strongly suspect that the subject coon was indeed rabid. - The big problem with them is that they are omnivorous, and often end up eating something rabid.

I had a pet Raccoon as a kid. He grew to be a big old fat male and wouldn't let anyone near him but me. Loved Snicker bars too.

Little Bastard that is why everyone needs to have a gun especially where wild animals live. On my old farm my dog got bit on the nose by a possum I took the old double headed axe and removed the head of one marsupial that day. He was physically hanging from the nose of my dog with his sharp little fangs. Fortunately marsupials donot carry rabbies accourding to my vet.

So much for those stuffed teddy bears and stuffed raccoons that make everything look nice.  Much like a TV media person makes everything look nice.  Inside they are globalists.

I knew a woman who had a raccoon as a pet.  It had been neutered.  She said that "whole" they are considered dangerous, especially in breeding season.  Because the Animal Rights Wackos have so damaged how America deals with animals, trapping in many areas which would control increases of wild animals has been stopped or hindered and rabies has soared.  One of the seals in Revelation is that people would be subjected to the "beasts of the field" and that could well include bears and wolves released into the wild now.

Some time ago I found a website about people who raised large wild animals, like cougars and other big cats.  They had an extensive section picturing the gear that was needed to handle the animals, size of pistol, and other equipment.  There was also an explicit article advising anyone considering raising wild animals to do some research and see if you want your life transformed by the experience.  They require lots of care and can turn on you at any time and kill you.  Even every day handlers were told to never turn their back on a big cat.  A bull can kill you, even if raised as a pet.  It is naive to think something wild would not.  Wild = Wild.

My brother in north Idaho had a coon problem a few years ago when I went to visit him. Seems the racoons were coming into the house through the cat door he had installed. He told me I had his permission to shoot them, big mistake.

I took his 10/22 to bed with me that night and in the morning he had four dead coons in his front yard.

This is right around the corner from me, this is the first I've heard of it.

We're having problems with rabid raccoons here around Atlanta.

Probably a 'coon conspiracy.
