MILTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Police took an intoxicated masked bandit into custody Tuesday, but he’s not quite what you might expect.
His name is Dallas, and he’s a raccoon.
Milton Police say they've had recent calls about suspected rabid raccoons. As it turns out, officers say they’re actually getting drunk on fermented crabapples.
Police say neighbors helped them capture Dallas who, along with another raccoon caught Monday, were released unharmed near the woods.
Officers offer this advice: if you see a disoriented raccoon, do not approach it. It could be sick – or if it’s like Dallas, just high on life.
LOL. I know raccoons are vermin, but...I find them so bizzare and quirky in their behavior that I enjoy them.
Sometimes...
Look and enjoy their appearance, but don’t touch w/o heavy gloves. Exceptions to the rule for those who raise a raccoon from infancy, if that’s the correct way to describe it.
my Dad had a raccoon when he was younger. It would go up to the local tavern and scratch the back door - they’d give it beer and it would waddle home after.
They are real easy to tame but impossible to keep from killing chickens...
I love them and hate them at the same time.
Which makes them, even when they are killing my chickens, get a better rating [”somewhat tolerable] on my list than Democrats, since raccoons are no threat to our liberty, are smart, and are actually very entertaining.
When I was a kid they let me hold one at the Pittsburgh Zoo. Only as an adult did I come to know what a high-risk proposition that was.
Hold muh crabapples.
Hahahahaha...your post REALLY made me chuckle!
Good job, though making that comparison with leftists damns the raccoons with faint praise!!!
