Yes I did see that on the news. What I would like to know is, who was taking the video, why weren't they helping?
I believe it was from a security camera.

Tom had one as a pet. His dad trapped the mother and gave the baby to Tom as a pet. It would follow him everywhere and stole his mom's sewing bobbins, took them to the hayloft in the barn and hid his treasures there.
Cute picture.

Re: Raccoons in backyard. We live in an area outside of our town and have had problems with "coons" for several yea rs. They love to come up on the carport and eat the cats' (16) food. Our temporary solution was my 410 Shotgun, which my son has relieved me of. Now I have no means of deterring them. Our main fear is the possibility of RABIES. Coons in Texas are rife with the deadly virus. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't mind them so much

You are so right! I soak the cheapest dog food I can buy at Walmart to feed my very wild and timid racoons. They devour it in no time at all. I used to have / see one small female that I fed by hand sometimes. I have a video from a wildlife cam showing her with me. I don't try to encourage them to eat from my hand any more since I googled up the cost of the rabies shots in the US. You have to take a series of them too. I still enjoy watching them eat their supper though.

Better to have that coon quarantined for 10 or so days to test for RABIES. They do carry it and it is deadly once it gets into one's system.

Healthy or not, coons are a menace. Here in South Texas we use the .410 remedy. Possums are not as bad - they eat our cat food, but are not destructive as coons. And they don't carry RABIES..
