RhondaLea 4 #153 December 30, 2005 QuoteIf you had just left the flew closed no one would be at risk of rabies. You would just have to deal with the noise every so often. We just would have done things differently I guess. So, where's the video? It wouldn't have been just the noise. The scoonie obviously was unable to extricate himself. So we're looking at a long, painful death from starvation, followed by dead raccoon smell. As to letting him out into the house... I've lived with raccoons--in the house--and as much as I love them, even tame they are a destructive force the likes of which you've never seen. Furthermore, given the very real danger of rabies in raccoons, it's not something to fuck around with. I hate the ending of this story, but it appears that the scoonie's fate was sealed when he decided to check out the chimney. rl Edited to add, because it is driving me crazy: not flu, not flew, not flute. Its a goddam flue.If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #156 December 30, 2005 Quote Great job Lisa , You should feel proud you solved this problem. Close the flu and call it a night. Stay tuned tomorrow for another fun thread titled "Racoon removal". It's a happy ending people. Now one last thing, get a screen for the chimney when this is over. Don't let anyone get ya down. If that's a dead raccoon, it may be a dead pregnant raccoon or there may now be orphans. Yes, be proud. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #158 December 30, 2005 Quote It's going to be ok Walt. Yes, a dead raccoon is a good raccoon. An orphaned raccoon has a much higher chance of becoming a good raccoon. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RhondaLea 4 #159 December 30, 2005 QuoteIf that's a dead raccoon, it may be a dead pregnant raccoon or there may now be orphans. Yes, be proud. It is almost January in Georgia.

RhondaLea 4 #163 December 30, 2005 QuoteMan!! you guys are killin me !!! This is by far the thread of the year !!! Well, it's not really all that funny, actually. LisaMarie is in the unenviable position of having to cope with one more thing on top of everything else she has to cope with. As I said, I wouldn't ask a bunch of skydivers for advice, but she actually talked to professionals and got their advice, which just happened to be close enough to the advice she got here to make it humorous. But as someone who has spent a good part of my life rearing baby raccoons for re-release into the wild, I feel a little sick to my stomach. Not about what she did--which was purely practical, and got her the only outcome she was going to get--but about the egging-on that she got. Sorry to rain on your parade, and even sorrier to be a pedantic pain in the ass, but our attitude towards our furry friends says a lot about us as individuals. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

NtheSeaOrSky 0 #164 December 30, 2005 QuoteYou don't want to fuck with a live raccoon, especially if it's not feeling well. Quite possibly the biggest understatement I have heard in a while LisaMarie- If you have a good sized box from any of your presents you can put in the fireplace, at least if it fell down and was dead it is easy body removal or if it were injured most likely (or maybe hopefully) would be unable to climb out of the box.Life is not fair and there are no guarantees...

BillyVance 34 #167 December 30, 2005 Is that raccoon still stuck in there? Anybody know how to make a good potato gun? Rig one in there with the nozzle squarely on the dead critter and light it... FOOOOM!!!! If strong enough, it just might shoot the damn thing right out of the chimney... Hypothetically speaking... I've never had one of those guns so don't take it from me.

lisamariewillbe 1 #171 December 30, 2005 Hes still there, but he isnt exactly dead, I have pest control coming... he has been suffering all night, the people who are coming told me I shouldnt have listened because the smoke makes them just pass out but unless the fire was going long enough it doesnt ness kill them, they told me theres a chemical that you can put in a bowl and it will get mammals to leave their enclosure if they can... so anyways it should be over with soon... and then I am going to put some steel fencing over the top of the stack.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
