This guy has killed two bird families, tore the bird houses off of the posts, ripped up all of my tomato and pepper plants that were in pots and dug all of the dirt out of the pots, tore open a bag of soil i had on my front porch and scattered it everywhere, that is all in less than a week. The bluebirds and sparrows had babies just ready to fly, makes me so sad.. I know it is just the way nature works, but that doesn't mean i have to like it! So if anyone would like a pet raccoon, let me know....he's free of charge.
