#DeadRacoonTO

[Catherine]

I think these road side memorials are a spontaneous expression feeling.
We do it every time someone is killed in traffic.
When a cyclist is killed they hold various memorials.
In particular they set up a Ghost Bike.

There have been a lot of deaths on the road and people need to respond to them.

There are animal deaths on the roads all the time. Conrad is the first racoon to be recognized and named. I wonder if his memorial will make us aware of the dead animals on our streets.
Perhaps there will be memorials every time a racoon is killed.

If this gets us looking at the racoon issue and seeing them as something that has a right to live, then we will have made a big breakthrough. I hope it will at least open up a pro-racoon dialogue.
