"They eat everything," said Stephanie Rutkowske, a local animal lover.

Just lovely. I wonder what Stephanie will do when the racoons she feed find a way into her yard and home and start doing some damage that affects her.

Use extra flour so the gravy isn't greasy. Furs for a blanket and the bone in their... nethers.... for a toothpick.

That's all I need to know about 'coons.

Yep, I got recipes.

I counted 15 in the yard one night. They seem to congregate sometimes.

I’m careful of coons. They are anything but cuddly little critters when cornered. Carriers of rabies and extremely destructive.

Just “be careful when raccoons start acting funny”. What does acting funny mean?

I hope she REALLY loves them because now, since she has fed them, they will never leave and continue to propagate.

I had a couple of them living in my attic a few years back. Not the best of neighbors. One of them appeared to be training for the Olympics tumbling competition. He worked out in the pre-dawn hours. They have a great location sense, if you trap them you have to take them miles away or they’ll come back “home”.

A raccoon eviscerated my sister’s dachshund, literally scooped her out from her neck to her tail. I despise them.

Down in south Texas a lady fed a bunch of coons every evening. I went with her to watch. A gang of about 20 raccoons was waiting for her in a creek bed. When we got there the raccoons all stood up on their hind legs and started walking toward us. They looked like weird little space aliens. It was absolutely creepy! I made a sudden excuse and bolted out of there.

I've had a couple of people tell me it's fun to set a box of sugar cubes out next to a creek where the coons will find them.

They'll take one out and try to wash it before they eat it and it just disappears. They try to figure out where it went for a few seconds, then go back and get another one, and do it all over again.

I had one of those bastards tear up my roof to the tune of nearly $1500. After that, it was shoot on site.

Coons love dog food.
Squirrels love dog food.
Birds love dog food.
Cats love dog food.
Opossums love dog food.

Don’t leave dog food outside—or just inside the pet door entrance.
