They kill the animal for food and then get issued arrest warrant. What am I missing here.

Have we heard from People Eating Tasty Animals (PETA) yet? I guess if they would have eaten the Racoon RAW there would have been no reason to charge them. Ya know less greenhouse gasses. Wonder what they would have done if it was a Homeless individual? They should send in the National Guard to protect the racoons, animals have rights too!!!!

The Coon was in season. The most I see here is a hunting without a license charge.

Boy, a guy could get in big trouble with a thread like this.

My Aunt Nell and Uncle Earl served racoon, then known as coon, as often as their sons could catch and kill one. They also cooked rabbits, quail, goose, ducks, dove, fish, and an occasional mud turtle. In their small back yard they raised at least one hog each year, and they butchered and kept it for food to complement their garden vegetables, and the fruit trees that they had been wise enough to plant when they were young.

I can still taste the grapes from their vines, and those little yellow apricots were heaven sent. The cherry tree never disappointed.

The ducks and chickens that lived in the backyard kept eggs on the table, and now and then, they were on the table too.

I can remember a time when they decided to buy and butcher a goat. I'm very glad I was there for that event.

"Animal control officer Kim Winter said Zimmerman should have contacted authorities when he saw the raccoon.

Dial 911 and starve, or eat what we give you.

" What am I missing here."

They didn't just cook it, they burned the damn thing before they ate it. I thought I had the most unique hunting implement, a 4lb jar of peanut butter. A traffic cone! LOL! Must be animal house.
