    'Zombie' raccoons are terrifying Ohio residents

    Right in @DGUtley's backyard, OMG!!

    'Zombie' raccoons are terrifying Ohio residents in broad daylight with odd behavior

    “Zombie-like” raccoons have made for a spooky sight in one Ohio city.

    Authorities in Youngstown “have responded to over a dozen” calls in recent weeks about the mammals behaving oddly in the daytime, WKBN-TV reported Tuesday.

    Robert Coggeshall was with his dogs outside his home last week when, he told the station, a raccoon headed toward them. He immediately rushed the dogs indoors and snapped photos of the furry creature.

    “He would stand up on his hind legs, which I’ve never seen a raccoon do before, and he would show his teeth and then he would fall over backward and go into almost a comatose condition,” Coggeshall recalled.

    ...

    Very probable. Especially in overpopulated areas. Natures way of culling them out when no coonass are around to sell hides or cook a few. Which are quite tasty after proper demusking.

    Coon hat march against coon hat trauma
    " I'm old-fashioned. I like two sexes! And another thing, all of a sudden I don't like being married to what is known as a 'new woman'. I want a wife, not a competitor. Competitor! Competitor!" - Spencer Tracy in 'Adam's Rib' (1949)

    Art thou every retard among us related to thine uncle or mistress by way of moral or illegitimate rendezvous? Thus, we are one side of the other's coin by luck or pluck. - Jimmyz
