It would be an absolute godsend if mama raccoon would rip the freaking vocal cords outta my next door neighbor's whinny mutt. He stands at their back door and whines, whimpers and yelps for hours at a time day after day when they are gone. Drives me bananas. As for wanting to get rid of them, I am of the same mind as Alex. No good reason I can see. The world could use a few less people and a few more raccoons in my view. But I recognize mine is the minority view in the neighborhood. I am especially concerned about doing a quality job of capturing and relocating these wonderful wild critters and I am hopeful that we can do it in such a way that the family stays in tact and they will survive and prosper. I am deeply suspicious of Government agencies having worked within that bureaucratic morass myself. The Humane Society would be more suitably monikered Mass Animal Exterminators, I shutter in disgust. I am looking for some sort of volunteer organization, some Wild Animal Rescue experts from around here. This is Northern California for gosh sakes! We should have a bunch of those kind of animal hugger nuts on the tree. Just got to shake it harder to find em. But thanks for your suggestions and information. I won't mention to my blue collar neighbor who has already volunteered to trap them, that his only adopted daughter is in any increased material danger. No sense throwing fuel on the fire. Those raccoon babies are cute little things, we did some video taping of them last night. I am going shopping today(this alone is a significant marker) for a hard plastic wading pool, to give them some water fun to explore. They keep tipping over our cat's outside water dish, when they try to wade in it.
