At around noon on Sunday, on Post Road, a raccoon attacked a cat named Tuxedo.

The raccoon then moved, two houses down from the other, and attacked a man who was getting the newspaper. Animal Control says the raccoon came out from underneath his car and that he managed to get back in his house after the attack.

The raccoon then moved across the street again and got into a fight with the original cat.

A man driving by saw this fight, stopped his car, getting out to shoot and kill the raccoon. The raccoon will be tested for rabies.

Animal control officer Cliff Daigle was investigating this scene and passing out flyers, when a woman reported to him that she saw another raccoon with a baby raccoon.

This other raccoon attacked a German Shepherd in the area by a fence, with the raccoon on the outside of the fence and the dog on the inside.

A sheriff's deputy did not have a clear shot to shoot the raccoon because of the dog in the way and the raccoon then ran under a wood pile.

Daigle and the deputy started to take the wood pile apart but it was frozen solid, not allowing them to get to the raccoon.

Holy shit I was attacked by a raccoon the same way when working in NC. Came out from under my car and bit me.

We wouldn’t have gotten it if my buddy hadn’t sprinted out and shot the thing with his p90. Good thing we did too cause it tested positive for rabies.

Be safe out there y’all. Get the shots if you’re even slightly at risk.

Post Sample P90 and yeah welcome to military towns in NC haha. I’d say anywhere in NC but not everyone has the discretionary funding to be dumbasses like us.

Serious note though, 5.7 calibers are top tier pest control and home defense rounds. I’d highly recommend having one lying around over a shotgun for a litany of reasons.

So they just left rather then setting traps? Or getting a maul to each the pile apart?
