sorry guys- i need to post this to vent and make fun of the author.

what the hell is this piece? i get its an opinion piece.

raccoons are notorious for carrying rabies. we farmers are basically calling the raccoons in because of our crops and the grain that we have laying around, so its our fault they show up! When they tear into bags of feed or tear into other stuff its our fault too.

I for one, will generally catch a coon in a live trap and release it elsewhere. I have shot and killed a few boar coons because those things are big and mean and I don't need my dogs getting in a fight with them.

priscilla if youre on cf go get f*cked.

Raccoons in Iowa do not carry rabies. They do on the East Coast and in Texas, though --

The most dangerous creature in terms of rabies in Iowa is the skunk.

And I don't think many people need much motivation to avoid those buggers.

thats virtually impossible isnt it?- all raccoons can carry rabies. I personally know someone who was bit and the racoon was killed and sent off to Iowa State ( as are most raccoons that bite someone in Iowa) that had rabies. He had to go through the whole shot process and everything.

that data doesn't seem very researched especially in Iowa. Maybe the raccoons with rabies cant cross the mississppi


skunks suck too

Most human infections of rabies are caused by bats. Bats everywhere have rabies.

My friends think I'm a bleeding-heart liberal but I kill every raccoon I can on my farm. Among other things, they damage my pheasant population. And I like their fur.

I don't even have a huge raccoon problem- or at least I thought. I was trying to catch a fox because two of them destroyed my chickens-- killed 18, basically my whole flock! so I was setting foot traps everywhere and kept catching coons. Caught 10 of those things in a 2 week span.

My dad used to leave cat food out overnight.

Goodness me that attracted every raccoon and possum within 20 miles to our back porch.

Possums are good animals, though. They can't get rabies and eat ticks.
