David, There is a huge problem with wildlife, particularly raccoons, in the cities. I get tons of calls regarding wildlife in the attic or babies that have fallen down into the wall. I do not trap, only rehab but, I refer trapping calls to your wildlife company. If in fact they get a call and its a mother with babies they will try to trap the mother and then remove the young. They will then bring them to me. I can house and would rather house the family, then the young alone. Its so much better for the mother to raise her young. I will look at the websites and get back to you. In the mean time you may want to call my referrals to see about adding them to your website.
I had a sec to look at websites and they are great. In my opinion I think trapping and relocating them when they are ready, if they have young, is a step in the right direction. Wildlife in the cities will become only a bigger problem if we don't take some steps in the right direction. Educating the public is a big step. Not all trappers are
knowledgeable and trained to know what to look for. If a animal has young, if it's sick and needs to be euthanized, or where to release. This is why I refer my trapping calls. Thank You, Danya
My Answer: It is good to keep the young with the mom as often as possible. I will continue to perform my services with a mind toward humane treatment of the animals.
If you need wildlife control services in your hometown, click for the National Directory of Wildlife Trappers that I've carefully compiled in every US city.
The raccoon (Procyon lotor), is a common urban animal, and native to North America. Raccoons are easy to recognize, with a black mask and ringed tail, as seen in the above photo.
Raccoons tend to weigh between 10-20 pounds as adults, and live an average of 5 years. They are mostly nocturnal, and are omnivores, and will often eat pet food or garbage. They have
become very acclimated to living in cities and urban areas. They are very strong, excellent climbers, very intelligent, and they are very skilled with their hands, which causes them to
commonly break into homes and attics, where they cause considerable damage, and they also destroy other property, and thus raccoons
are considered pest animals by many people, which is why I remove them. If you want to learn more, please read my How To Get Rid of Raccoons page.
