Killer Coons

"The problem got so bad that residents Kari Hall and Tamara Keeton even started a Raccoon Watch after having an emotional neighborhood meeting attended by about 40 people."

"It's not just cats being attacked. Five raccoons actually ganged up on and carried off a little dog, who survived."

"It's a new breed," Keeton said. "They're urban raccoons, and they're not afraid." "There's one really big bad dude," she added.

"We were right there trying to get him off the cat," she said. "The cat was screaming, and the raccoon was ferocious. My husband and a neighbor grabbed a shovel and a bat, and they were waving them until it took off. It was scary."


[glow=red,2,300]Man...there are too many good quotes in this story to copy and paste! City folk feeding racoon and enjoy watching them have babies and then wonder why they become a nuisance.

That last quote is my favorite....somebody should show those city boys how to use a shovel or a bat instead of just "waving" them around.

I'm still laughing at this story....some GREAT writing there![/glow]

nothing a few subsonics and a single shot .22 couldn't handle.
