Raccoons At Play

Seeing is believing in case of orange raccoon
Nobody believed Kevin Blackford when he said an orange raccoon had been eating his cat's food.When Blackford told Craig Reel and the guys over at Reel & Sons Feed Store in Worthington, they all shook their heads at his tall tale. But Blackford insisted he had seen an orange raccoon. He even said it had orange eyes.
"Nobody believed me," said Blackford.
Reel, who has a frequent problem with raccoons trying to get into his building to eat grain, decided to set one of his traps on Blackford's porch.
"We got him right away, with just a little dab of strawberry preserves. Raccoons love strawberry preserves," said Reel.
The next morning, the orange raccoon, in the trapping cage, was taken to Reel & Sons Feed Store where all of the disbelievers could see the unusual animal.

* Vietnam has seized more than a ton of ratsnakes found aboard a Vietnam Airlines flight from Bangkok. Last month, the airport authorities also seized 1,550 pounds of snakes aboard a Thai Airways flight to Hanoi.
* Raccoon meat has made its way to Chicago's upscale Moto restaurant, where chef Homaro Cantu created a dish that makes the raccoon look like road kill, complete with a yellow stripe down the center of the plate.
"It was a real eye catcher," Cantu said. "The fact that the dish looked like it was run over was really cool."

Woman kills raccoon with her bare hands
A woman killed a raccoon with her bare hands Thursday when the animal attacked a young boy. Officials with Cheshire, Connecticut, animal control say the woman was walking in the woods around 11 a.m. with a group of children when the animal bit the 5-year-old son of a friend.
She pulled the raccoon off the child, told the children to run home and strangled the animal, authorities said.
"She had the presence of mind to choke it," animal control officer April Leiler told the Record-Journal of Meriden. "She is one tough lady."
