You just can't trust those raccoons....they even wear masks!

It's a larger plot than we think! Ever since they dismantled Rory Commons in the Beatty Lumber Yard, home to several raccoon families, these mask-wearing toughs have been wreaking havoc in alleys and back yards all over the 95th Street area. The only home untouched is the family down the block who leave food for them, but I suspect that's protection payment.

I want to know which Mayoral candidate is going to have the courage to address this issue, with possible solutions.

About 5 years ago, my power went off at night. It was restored about 1:30am in the morning. I saw the ComEd truck and talked to the service man. He told me that he thought a raccoon bit into the wires because there was a BIG dead raccoon in my yard right by the electric pole. Sure enough when it was light out I looked. There was the BIG scary thing. But I never had a power surge.

If elected MVCC Trustee on April 9th, I promise to reach out to the raccoon community and show them a way to gain the education and skills that would allow them to find rewarding employment and become contributing members of society and live lives of dignity and respect! Of course, if they eat the books...

This was a coordinated attack designed to keep the police busy while political yard signs were stolen. The Fraternal Order of Free Mammals has claimed responsibility for this attack. They contend Raccoons are upset that none of the garbage being
tossed around during the mayoral campaign is suitable for consumption.
The cadidates campaign committees said they would not change. Although
the garbage was below raccoon standards, they believe it was just fine for the voters in Oak Lawn. "they wouldn't know quality garbage if it jumped up and bit them. They think Trader Joes is high class." one spokesman said.

I think their leader is a male named Rocky. He's been seen hanging around Wolfe Wildlife Refuge recruiting new members.

Don't trust Comed, Dish, DirecTV, Comcast or Xfinity what they are calling themselves these days, Nicor, AT&T.....none of them. They will try and get out of anything. They don't hire trained qualified employees. They hire anyone who is breathing and will takee their low salaries. So, NO, I think ComED is ridiculous. If Raccoons are the problem, then ComEd needs to come up with a solution. The animals aren't going away. They are everywhere and they have a right to be.

My wife says it's all nonsence.
ComEd plants those dead raccoons at every uinexplained outage.
And you thought that Gaterade cooler had beverages in it.

Love the raccoons stickin it to the man! Vote for Rocky!

About 2 years ago our electric was out for 2 days..Lost everything in both fridges and freezers..Filled out All claim forms and was told some "Act of God" or something similar caused it and that it wasn't their problem! Just when is it Com Ed's fault??.. As far as the raccoons go, forget it.. Caught 3 in 1 week! The last 1 we caught had 3 of his buddies running around squealing when he was caught in my trap! Animal Welfare gladly takes them but said as long as you put out a trap with food you're going to catch them because there's an over abundance in Oak Lawn....I live at 91st and Austin and it seems they're all over this section of town!!

maybe comed needs to contact either us or someone else to get some control on these animals before they do any more damage www.animaldamage.com
