#1 Raccoons, why do they hate us?

#2 A 22 hollow point would fix this problem.

#3 .22 hollow point is nice up close, but I get instant results with the .30 cal round from an M1 carbine at greater distance. Is it cruel to spell out the words "last meal" in dry cat food out in the driveway...

#4 Raccoons are easy to catch. Put a few hard-boiled eggs in cages, and they will climb in.

#6 I predict in 50 million years racoons will have replaced us on this planet.

For some reason I am not too worried about it.

#7 Yeah, and in 25 million years, the Earth's temperature will have risen 2 degrees and stuff...

#8 Meanwhile, residents have hired Tom Brown, a nuisance wildlife control operator from Rochester, to set traps, but in six weeks he has caught only one raccoon. He and Carrell said raccoons teach their young and each other to avoid traps.

B.S. I've never had any problems trapping racoons. Some are so stupid they jump into the bottom of garbage cans to get scrap and then can't jump out.

#9 Obviously Mr. Brown has never tried the hard-boiled egg trick ...

Sorry, .22 has a range of a mile and a half, use a small shotgun with birdshot, much safer for the folks down the road, just as permanent at ten feet or thirty.

#15 I say we stomp 'em! Then we tattoo 'em! Then we hang 'em! And then we kill 'em!
