#DeadRacoonTO

[Catherine]

I don't know why people hate racoons. They are usually the kind of people who want to control nature. They are careless with their garbage and they don't want to share their space with living creatures.

A lot of them are scared of the racoons. They just can't share the planet with other beings and that starts at home with not sharing the city with racoons.

I don't think the memorial is a joke. I think it is an expression of feeling from those of us who like racoons and even admire the little guys.

Toronto is in a real struggle over the racoon issue. Some of us keep our places clean and safe for wildlife. We respect wildlife. Others see animals as an enemy. Those are the kind of people who cut down trees and pave their front yards.

I found this video.




Every year countless little creatures die in a city this big. The city picks the bodies up, but it can take time. I wonder if Conrad's death has provided us with an opportunity to express how sad we are that animals are killed. We never get to name them and say how sorry we are until now. I think the memorial is meant sincerely.

Even our local wildlife centre is benefiting from the publicity and they could use the money right now since they are coping with a flock of oil soaked ducks.

RIP Conrad.
