Today, I found an enormous raccoon in my backyard. After a couple of nasty scratches, I finally managed to capture the filthy animal. After calling animal control to relocate it, I waited for hours to learn that "relocating" actually means releasing it into my front yard 10 feet away. FML

Don't wrestle raccoons. They could have rabies!!

You need to consult a doctor on whether or not you need rabies shots. You need to be one hundred percent sure you were not bitten. I am completely serious. Rabies kills several people each year. You have only a very short window in which to get the shots, which are not as bad as they used to be.

That has nothing to do with balls but rather a pathetic sadistic sense of violence.

who relocates raccoons? it's like 'relocating' squirrels. they're wild animals and go where they please. deal with it.

So a raccoon is filthy now? I bet it thinks the same of you.

Why would you go and try to wrestle down a raccoon? Just leave it be, try and scare it away, or call animal control and let the professionals handle it.

Relocating a wild animal is actually fairly easy and common-place. It just means you have to move it to somewhere outside of it's normal grounds, forcing it to look for new grounds. Problem is, they are often either too lazy or incompetent to move it far away enough...

Animal control is bullshit. A stray dog turned up on my patio once, the poor thing was missing an eye, covered in blood and dirt, and was obviously in a lot of pain. It took them three hours to get to my house. Seriously the last thing those people care about is animals.

✈Don't read if you can't take a joke.✈ So, you know how some parents use the spoon as an airplane/make airplane noises to feed their children? Does that mean some muslim parents just slam the food into their baby's face...??
