New York City is being plagued by raccoons aggressively digging through people’s trash.
Not as bad as it seems, though. A lot of those reports turn out to be just Mayor Bloomberg checking soda cup sizes.

And the really sinister thing is those buggers know how to befriend and con all the cats!
Jeesh – you’d think that cats would at least defend us like dogs. But, nooooo.
The raccoon (Listeni/ræˈkuːn/, Procyon lotor), sometimes spelled racoon, also known as the common raccoon, North American raccoon, northern raccoon and colloquially as coon.
Profiling!
Mitt Romney never went out and hugged his garbage ‘coon and I think we all know the reason.
In Los Angeles we’ve had the same problem for years except instead of raccoons it’s homeless people digging through the trash. Very creepy.
@Jimmy – it’s NYC – no one is allowed to defend anyone.
So, the cats are conned and you’re fine with that. Fine.
Let me tell you, we just had 83+ days with .07 inches of rain here in the NW and almost 100% sunshine – and those buggers are H U N G R Y!
Net to set more illegal traps.
I came across some of these little furry bastards on Central Park West awhile back: http://twitpic.com/96n54x It seems that they’re winning the gang turf war with the rats.

Racist
You would think racoons would have more sense than be in newyork city.
We have racoons here in Northeast Texas. They don’t bother us much because if they get in the back yard the German Shepherd gets them. If they get in the front it only takes a .22 Long Rifle hollowpoint and then they get tossed to the German shepherd.
If I get hungry enough no racoon for the poor old German Shepherd.
