Trapped for Days!

[jack S]

This may be legal, but is it right? this little coon has been in a trap under the bridge at the blue lupine inn at the end of redfish circle, for at least two days! It is not the first coon to be abused before death at this location. Should living creatures be treated in this manner?

I thought that there was a set time period for long an animal could be in a "humane" trap before it was considered abuse - and it was a lot shorter than 2+ days.

Definitely inhumane. I'd call animal control or Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge and see what they say about it.

 

[sunspotbaby]

it looks like a opossum to me. Did animal control put it there?

 

[Franny]

No! Let it go Jack.

The trap is from the Inn. It is a coon that was under the bridge in the dark and cold. It had dug and clawed mud all around the trap attempting to free inself. The people live in condo's. If they could get away with it, you would see traps on the beach with people from the brick yard in them! This is a pond that crosses in front of their precious building, so I guess the racoon was trespassing! And yes, calls were made, and always the same yadda yadda response.

where is it again?...i'll relocate it.

It would be a real shame if the animal wiggled around and somehow managed to get out ................. and then a large tree branch fell on it (repeatedly) so it no longer functioned. ;-)

I've heard raccoons have poor eyesight, perhaps he didn't see the no trespassing signs. FREE ROCKY!!!!
