Not today, Trash Panda

[Krautshumom]

Last night the security light went on in our yard. This asshole was trying to decide which coop to B&E.

I set out my trap and caught him!
No dead chickens

I’ll relocate him after I have my coffee

Relocation to the spirit world, I hope!

Uh oh... you said the R-word... lol

Hordes of BYCers are gonna descend on this thread and condemn you to hell ( or a nearby suburb of hell) for even suggesting that a coon be relocated

 

[Chick-N-Fun]

Well done!

if you are unwilling or unable to dispatch this niewsance critter, please call your animal control officer. He will do what is necessary in the county of which your reside.
Relocation is creuel and sometimes illegal.
Would you relocate a chicken killer to your distant unknown neighbor chicken owners?

The "Problems" with "relocation" ... are multi-faceted ...

1. If you live in the USA ... it will probably be illegal to relocated it while it is living.

The laws are based off of some good reasons ...
1. If it has a disease ... you have now spread that to a new location.
2. It will most likely die in its new location.
A. Being an "intruder" the local raccoons will kill it.
B. It will not know where to find food, water, or shelter, without being attacked.
C. While either trying to get away from the locals, or in search of food, water, and shelter, it will get run over while crossing an unfamiliar roadway ...

Then of course the "Golden Rule" will have been broken too ... "do unto others as you'd have done to yourself" ...

By relocating, and releasing it ... you now have a rather smart racoon that if it can somehow overcome the above mentioned death sentence ... it will have learned to be "trap smart" and will not go into another trap, not on its life!

Wherever it is relocated ... it will now be a headache for the local people there, that now have a trap smart raccoon killing their chickens ...

Just kill it, or don't bother trapping it ..
