Orphaned baby raccoons raised to be wild and released into the forest. They run free on my 4 acres of woodland and I have a large river and brook on the property plus lots of well water in buckets on the deck for them to drink. They have to be fat for the long winter or starve to death. My oldest was 13 1/2 years old.
They never bite or show aggression towards me.. I have no neighbors to speak off and they are all support my rehabbing the raccoons. They do not bother the neighbors. I have tourists come from all over the world to see them quite a few from United States. I live In the Province of Nova Scotia on the East coast of Canada.
I am a retired police officer from Canada's national police force called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or RCMP as we call it here. Any sick or injured raccoon are sent to Hope for Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for treatment and released from there in the fall. I also treat them for fleas and ticks and deworming Medicine.
The cost is high but I have a lot of people from here who donate food on a regular basis. My late wife started this operation and died of Cancer in 2003 and her dying wish was to keep this up in her memory. Some commentators on here have made the statement too bad I did not die with her which is very cruel to say the least but I am not going to let the nay sayers stop me from my mission.
