Why the coon hate?[/quote]

My childhood home in Boulder was kind of near the mountains. We had three poodles, and a dog door. Racoons used to come into our house (before we realized it was them) and open our freezer up, steal food, and leave. Okay, kind of cute and funny.

It got really bad one summer, when we had over 30 raccoons to deal with, sometimes five in a night.

Boulder wouldn’t deal with the raccoons, so we had to get a skunk trap, trap em, and take em out to release them in Open Space far far away. Not fun for my dad, esp. when the live raccoons in the garage in the cage would chew through every wire within reach.

One night two raccoons fell into a window well. Dad had to shoot them. Traumatic.

Late that summer, the 5lb male poodle started stinking. Just stinking. Took him to the Dr., turns out he’d gotten into a fight with a raccoon. The 'coon shook him and literally separated the skin from the flesh underneath. The skin was rotting away.

Anyway, we got the puppy saved, and managed to keep the raccoons out with a welded steel lock on the door (they broke through wood), but that entire summer was spent in battle, and I hate them for it.

Like I said.

Racoons are the Debil.

Hey PMPM…any more PL meets you training for?

I don’t blame you for hating them. Hell, I almost hate them now.

It was cute as hell…i’m not gonna lie.

It was shaking and had the puppy dog eyes looking up at us.

Shit, I thought Greeny lost her mind when I saw her talking to the dumpster.

No, that would be cruel. I’d shoot it.

Hey, if one went after one of our cats, i’d skin it alive. Otherwise, I like most animals.

Last week, we had a young possum run off a patio when we were walking through out parking lot… Now them things are frigging UGLY. They’re like the deluxe version of a rat.

I would gladly shoot a possum.
My vicousness increases in direct proportion to the lack of cuteness of my victim.

I’ll keep it cute, then.

Yeah, my parents have a whole family or two of raccoons who live under their deck. When they fight, they screech so loud!!! OMG! And one night I heard them chirping or whatever to each other and went down to see where they were, looked out on the deck and didn’t see anything. Saw lights reflecting in the trees and saw like 5-6 of them chilling in the trees! I had no clue they could climb trees! I was so happy when I moved to the city that I didn’t have to deal with any wildlife…but I was 4 blocks from a hospital so I still had noise: sirens and shit…oy…

Buahahaha!
nooooo… poor penguin.

I love pics with dichotomy like that. I mean cuteness really DOES conquer evil. I saw a skit on Conan O Brien when I was in High School called “does cuteness conquer evil” and it had like little puppies and kittens dressed up like KKK members with the hoods and everything. OMG I just died laughing because the sensation of disgust @ KKK mixed with the adorableness of baby animals was so freaking funny. Finally when the evil started to conquer the cuteness and I became disturbed instead of amused out into the skit hopped little baby bunnies wrapped in swastika armband!

I STG I have never laughed harder in my life. If youtube wasn’t blocked at my work I’d look for that skit right now.

I didn’t know you felt this strongly about being around wildlife.

Hmph.

See thats how the coons tried to kill our dog (it was actually my grandmas dog). They dropped out of the tree ONTO the dog! It was a pretty vicous fight which my grandma won with a garden statue. (um, garden statue as weapon)

THREE MORE MINUTES AND I GET TO GO TO THE GYM.

Oh, please. Who really likes driving around every day and seeing dead animals on the side of the road? At least we didn’t have roadkill in the city. If we did, it was usually human and was picked up as soon as someone dialed 911.

I think we were in the gym for just over 30 minutes today. First, we got a late start, and then we had to rescue the raccoon. Tomorrow, which is Deadlift Day, should be longer.

Hey, it’s the way of the world.

I don’t think they’re dead, anyway. They’re either sleeping or playing dead… They have you fooled.
