Racoon

[The Sheriff]

Quote:
We trapped a raccoon a few days ago. My DH had relocated another one several weeks ago and I posted here and got slammed big time for doing it. This time we called Animal Control because it was a weekday (no service on weekends) and were told they charge $20 to come get it. I agreed and they came and got it. DH asked the AC officer what would happen to it and she said she would drive it out of town and release it. She recommended we do that ourselves next time instead of paying the $20!

Check this link for your State, you cant release them, without written permit. Crazy they charge you, plus ,they dont know or care about the state law.
look under Legal Status
