"Drowning sets are recommended for raccoon. When handling a live 'coon in the trap, be careful as they are quick and strong. Stun the animal with a rap on the nose with a stout stick, then kill it by drowning or by stepping on its chest and stopping the heart". :mad:

WTF!!!

that is awful, sometimes I wonder the heck people are thinking. I wonder how they would feel if it was them stuck in a cage. We have a outbreak of rabies in the coastal park of my state. 29 case confirmed so far on raccoons alone, it makes me wonder how or what they are doing with the 29 confirmed cases. :eek:

Why do I click on those links and read this stuff, just pisses me off!!! When will people stop doing this crap to beautiful animals?

[John Olexa]

I know, but we need you to click & read. If nobody reads it, nobody knows about it. Then Nothing gets done about it.
thats what it takes.

Sick stuff! Email sent, these thread do bother all of us. But as John says he is right people do need to be aware. I live in a highly populated area the most animals we see are squirrels and birds. But we all need to know whats going on in the world. IF Im depressed already I usually skip this thread for a day. God Bless you John- For always keeping us informed. It takes a toll on you I am sure.

Another sick and disgusting thing that people get their kicks doing. HOW, I want to know how they can do these things. They can not have any compassion. John, you must always be on the look for these insane stories to try to help. I want to know how you get any sleep at night. Things like this truly upset me. Hats off to you! I know since I have been on this forum I have signed more petitions and wrote letters that I never did before. So you are making a difference, giving those who don't have a voice, someone to speak for them. GOD BLESS YOU JOHN!
