Karma, Please Forgive Me

Eight raccoons and one possum have been removed via this trap. I'm not thrilled about the ultimate fate for these critters, but I'm even less thrilled about the myriad diseases a toddler who loves to dig in the dirt could acquire from them. This is just survival of those who would like to remain fittest.

Is that just one raccoon in there? Because it kind of looks like more, but that would be weird if more than one walked in there together.

Please clarify.

Just one raccoon in the shot. I didn't want to get too close so it's hard to tell.

Gross. What did you do with the racoons once you caught them??

Animal control takes them away and kills them. It's terrible, I know, but one of the diseases that Sam can get from them attacks the central nervous system and can cause blindness or coma. We probably could learn to coexist if they weren't pooping on the deck.
