Racooooooons!!

^ they won't do anything. I have had raccoons coming to my bedroom window in WT for 3 years. They scare the shit out of me, wake me up, hiss at my cats. It's really disturbing.

I've already tried dealing with 311. They say they won't do anything unless you tell them you think it's rabid (and even then, I doubt they do anything). Their suggested solution is that you call a private wildlife/pest control firm and take care of it yourself.

You're a lot bigger than they are.
They smell your fear.
They are not punks.
They are bandits.

You gotta be hard if u wanna roll in BK.

Did your girl laugh at you getting punked by 'coons?






Now had you said they were foaming at the mouth snarling, wobbling from side, my advice would have been to run, quick. Any rabid animal aint nuffin to muck wit. That's the only way animal control will come for them. Other wise if you want rid of them, you gotta get a permit and hire a licensed trapper.

and for the person that said poison, that could be one of you beloved reincarnated. or it could be your racoon family in your future life. if he kills them off, you could never be and your soul, could very well, possible end here.
Tread lightly.

Call Cridder Ridders of NY, they just trapped 2 raccoons this past week on my block.

Ask for Giovanni 347-933-8380

Animal Control does ZERO, they consider them "part of the flora and fauna of New York City..."

Tee-hee.

I don't get it. Why can't you learn to live with them? What harm have they caused you?

No need to say anything more.

ligh, i read that piece in the brooklyn paper and it says the trapper gives the `coons to rescue people? i was told (by the critter-buster man, who owns the critterbuster ambulance) that if raccoons are caught in the city they had to be euthanized.

BTW, Trapper John, who has the "mobile ex-ambulance" is not really regarded as an expert...eccentric yes...

From the CCGH list serv:

Morning,

A quick note we bagged another BIG RACCOON last night.

That's 3 so far and just from ONE backyard. I implore my fellow neighbors to call a trapper if you are experiencing issues like were are, share the "love" (so to speak) and chip in to save our blocks.

I also ask you to write our elected officials (CC'd on this letter) and ask them to begin to investigate which City Agency can help out the average Brooklynite in nipping this issue in the bud.

We are out several hundred dollars so far. Money we do not have to spend, but we must spend to keep our home safe and free of rabies, round worm, fleas and other bad stuff these buggers carry around with them or leave behind (pun intended) in their feces. We would hope others in the same situation will step up and do the same.

I will be working on a draft letter for our local electeds. We need to ask them respectfully to work on behalf of their constituency...and those folks don't include raccoons!

Enjoy your weekend. Remember to pick up a copy of The Brooklyn Paper. Tracey and my story made the front page.

Nope, AC will just send you a brochure on how to hire a trapper...duh!

They feel raccoons, like pigeons, starlings, house sparrows and squirrels (to name a few) are part of the "flora and fauna" of the City (that's a quote).

Hopefully some of the CCGH folks are working with come of the local city council folks. Who knows.

Walking home last night on 23rd street between 6th and 7th I saw a family of raccoons exit by a run down house in the middle of the block and march across the street into the graveyard . They were very cute
