Woman Calls Authorities When 100 Raccoons Show Up To Her House

A woman in Poulsbo, Washington called authorities when 100 raccoons showed up looking for food. The woman started giving food to raccoons 35 years ago, and the population grew rapidly in the last six weeks. “Somehow the word got out in raccoon land and they all showed up to her house expecting a meal,” Kevin McCarty of the Kitsap County Sheriff’s office said. The animals surround her home day and night. Animal control is working to find a solution. “Don’t feed wild animals. When wild animals have a reliable food source, they’re going to keep coming back to it,” McCarty warns. (WZZM 13)
