i hate raccons

[aflyingmonkey]

I had a friend when I was growing up that had raised a "pet" raccoon from when it was a baby.  He had it many years until one day it turned on him.  It practically tore his face off his head.  He had to have several surgeries to reconstruct his face.

How truly awful.
I've read that you can't domesticate a raccoon, they will always be wild.

Yeah they can be pests, but I think their cute!

I don't know much about racoons.  I've heard some awful stories about them.  We've always had a problem with rabbits getting into the garden.  When we lived in the country the coons kept to themselves ... didn't bother us and we didn't bother them.  Course we didn't have vegetable garden at the time either.

Sorry, the floods here flooded their home now I got them. They have thumbs makes them dangerous. My JC tells me when they are here, they are bigger than rats, we now I have them too. Hope they move on.

The deer and rabbits usually get into my garden. I am trying some new things this year to keep them out. I don't have issues with the raccoons in my area.

I used cayenne pepper to repel unwanted small mammals and it seems to work. I am also leaving an area where these little wild animals can forage too and that seems to help also.
