So there was a visitor on my doorstep this morning.....
 

A very badly hurt baby raccoon.... He must have been hit by a car or something.. Poor thing was missing an eye, was walking like every movement was agony. There was no fresh blood though so jact put out some cat food and water and we tried to keep him around until we could finds someone on a weekend who could deal with him. After a few OPP vists a conservation officer showed up. The raccoon amazingly enough can be saved and they will be driving him two hours to a wildlife rehabilitation facility. I'm so glad he will be ok!

Just had to share that. You can go on with your day now.

You and Jact are good people, i would take my hat off to you but im not wearing one.

props :thumbsup

wow a nature lover also, nice!:)

I'am surprised the OPP didnt give it a speeding ticket.

Kind of you:thumbsup

I would have been scared and hit it with a shovel.

We kept him on the porch for two hours until someone could come for him....poor thing was so scared.

That's really great of you two to do.

Aww, how great of you! :thumbsup

Always nice to hear stories like that :)

poor thing... sounds like he must have been in a great deal of pain.

It's great of you to help him out, and awesome that the rehabilitation center can help too.

Raccoons are really cool animals, just misunderstood because they tend to make a mess out of garbage cans.

Agreed. :thumbsup

aww good 4 u 2!

I tip my hat...unfortunately its a racoon hat..heh

Well at first they though they would have to shoot him because they didn't know if they could get help on a weekend. We insisted he live though and they managed to find a conservation officer on a weekend. Glad I said no :)

very nice!

Neat how it hung around

He wasn't going anywhere fast.. he could hardly move :(

I lived in Montreal last year and we had this ugly looking raccoon sneaking in and going thur the trash everyday almost. used to call him ralphie:2 cents:

Good Deal :thumbsup

we have them come and wash thier hands in the pool every night...big ones.
For future reference..them racoons make's good eatin'

good for you, I dont like to see amimals in pain.

All I have to say.......


You Rock LM!!!!

:thumbsup

It is nice there aare folks willing to help a hurt wild animal
:thumbsup :thumbsup

Actually I'll be honest, he was lucky we found him and not some locals.. They generally tend to shoot anything that moves and has more teeth than they do. They have even been known to shoot pets. Assholes. This town needs an enema.

it's nice to see there are still people who care about the other animals we share this planet with
