More End Time Signs
Cat-killing raccoons on prowl in west Olympia

"OLYMPIA - Raccoons are cute, until they kill one of your cats. That is what a west Olympia neighborhood is learning this summer.
Raccoons have killed about 10 cats in a three-block area near the Garfield Nature Trail at Harrison Avenue West and Foote Street Southwest.
Problem wildlife coordinator Sean Carrell of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife called the situation "bizarre, weird."
"I've never heard a report of 10 cats being killed. It's something we're going to have to monitor," he said. He added that they may have to bring in trappers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The problem got so bad that residents Kari Hall and Tamara Keeton even started a Raccoon Watch after having an emotional neighborhood meeting attended by about 40 people.
"It was a place for people to mourn and cry," Hall said.
At the meeting, they encouraged people to stop feeding the raccoons. They also decided to keep their pets and pet food inside. And they decided to carry pepper spray to drive off raccoons that attack again."
I'm worried. We have unrest in the middle-east. Russia and China are flexing their muscle and now this. Has nature herself turned on us. First the squirrels began their assault on humans now they are joined by murderous racoon shock troops. Could it be we are in the end times.
As for carrying pepper spray...pepper spray?! Below is a pic of some of DWO's personal armament's.
Leave no terrorist racoon alive! Pepper spray indeed.

That was the wierdest story I've heard in a while. Are they sure they're racoons? The just might be terrorists in disguise.
pepper spray will only give the cats more flavor! yes indeed, these are the end times.
:)
Just to be on the safe side, we'd better start with the random killings.
MT-you're right and the stories just seem to get wierder.
OMW-I was thinking about carrying cajun spray to really spice things up. MMMMM, blackened racoon. tasty.
Grant-my thoughts exactly.
your remark reminds me of a time when I worked for the forest service in CA, I told someone that I had raccoon spaghetti and they asked, "wow, really, for military survival training?" and I said no - at my Mom's house!! HA. (hope that wasn't a youhadtobethere moment)
Random killings won't work. We'll be creating martyrs out of these raccoons and more killings will be certain. It's nukes or poison.
How about gas? Or grenades? It seems like a war anyway...
Hmm, let's see. We take some domesticated animals ... and let them roam around in the natural environment of little beasts ... and then get mad when bad things happen.
It reminds me of the folks who are outraged when a mountain lion or bear attacks someone hiking. Come on, people--it's their turf, and we shoudl be prepared to accept the consequences!
Of course, if a raccoon were to attack MY pet, I'd obliterate the little bastard.

I dont know if trying to knife em is the way to go, seems like you might get some nasty scratches that way.
I tried to comment yesterday, but blogger was being contrary. Maybe the racoons are mad because the cats have moved into territory that they consider to be rightfully theirs. The cats better watch it, I've heard that desperate racoons sometimes turn into suicide bombers.
the suicide bomber racoons are promised 40 virgin garbage cans to rummage through. Heck, its easy to see how they are recruited with promises like that.
Saw a racoon the other day, the only thing it killed though was the garbage bag we were storing the camping garbage in:)
