Title: Problem racoon
Post by: CP on May 15, 2023, 04:26:16 PM: A friend of mine has a problem with a mother racoon and her kits. What's the best way to take care of them? This is within Seattle city limits.

Last raccoons I knew were into Molly Hatchett. I suggest Taylor Swift just to make sure.

Post by: CP on May 19, 2023, 01:45:11 PM: The coon family has moved on, someone else's problem now.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
