Racoon problem in Toronto?

[Catherine]

Some people see Racoons as just a part of life in T.O. Others see them as dangerous marauders who threaten people. Sadly some people have been guilty of horrible acts of cruelty towards our racoons.

This is our Mayor(until Oct 27) talking about racoons.

The obvious is to not mix food in with recycling and don't put your garbage out late at night. There are easy ways of locking the garbage cans.

One of our city counselors is dead against racoons.

The incident with the shovel really shocked people. The man beat a litter of baby racoons with a shovel. He did it in front of their mother.
That is a little more than scaring them from your garden.

The racoons were here first and many of us live with them just fine.

I think this link will take you to Racoon Nation a documentary about racoons.
