Racoons keep eating my garbage and kidnapping local children - is it silly to leave drugs in the trash?

Dude, this question is silly.

When I was in college, I made extra money during some of my vacations by working for my brothers when they ran a mink ranch.  Don't worry, PETA tpyes--it's long since out of business.\n\nAnyway, one of the more delightful jobs I got was removing the false bottoms of cages a month after new litters were born.  They were covered in manure that I had to scrape off into a wheelbarrow.  I believe I had that detail all to myself for all of the ranch's 2000 females that had litters--just imagine the fun I had.  :-)

NO its not illegal. Ever hear of the equal housing act?!? ITs her house...if she want to rent it to circus monkeys..thats her right. Just because someone has a lot of kids doesnt mean they are going to be a bad neighbor. Give them a chance! I have 7 kids and my kids are very respectful of our neighbors house and property. They dont go over into their yard without permission and never throw trash into their yard. IF these kids disrepect your privacy or property..then talk to the mother(or father) They might just turn out to be the best neighbors!

Yes but if you are caught they will take those ones away too.\n\nAlthough I am not sure why you would want to mess up the lives of more children...

I have come across this issue before with parrot shelters, and private zoos.  If the humane society is called in and doesn't see anything sufficiently horrible to warrant action then you need to document the offenses yourself (photographic evidence, video, witnesses...).  Once you have created  a 'case' in the form of a file THEN the humane society may be more apt to listen.  What is acceptable in one US state or Canadian province may not be acceptable in another.  Standards of care can and do vary WIDELY.

Of course it is. You train them to live in your gut and eat what comes their way. Be warned that you will have trouble preventing reproduction and if you decide that you dont want your pet any more, getting rid of it is a messy business.

My grandfather had that problem.  My grandma fixed it by putting treats for the raccoons...like leftover chicken in one spot and the garbage in the other.  As long as you remember to put out the treats you should not have a problem.

Raccoons, skunks, stray cats and dogs, rats .  Scavengers are common anywhere (look at what people do to keep these marauders out of their garbage).

Easy, just ban the English or lock them up in some zoo. Don't think the other animals will be best pleased, though!

Their criminals and in what they do, you should assume they are dangerous.\n\nTo me, it's worth the risk to get them away from my kids and their friends. Drugs kill kids in more ways than one. Crime activity also drops the value of your home.\n\nYou should be safe in making anonymous calls to report this person. You should never approach on your own.\n\nIn short, you bet they can kill. That's why you don't want them there anymore.

LOL oh my god that's a great question. It's called cruel and unusual punishment. you get all your cubicle mates hungry and sniffing the air life rodents on the lookout for hawks. Then you chow down right in front of them, it's the dog-at-the-dinner table syndrome. when you eat dinner in front of your pooch and don't share any while he or she looks sadly up at you... just mean. you gotta give them some kind of justice... at least leave them the burnt and unpopped kernels at the bottom of the bag to suck on. it's only fair.

Get one of those bug bombs, and leave for a few hours.  If you have pets you should move them somewhere else.  I know, take them on a road trip with you?  Even the goldfish.

An ongoing problem for condo owners.  Luckily our trash gets picked up at each door.  But for those who have bins, people just drive up in the middle of the night, dump carpets, shingles, or any refuse they need to get rid of without having to pay for it.\nI guess the trick is to catch them and report them.  Maybe they can get fined.  Not sure about the rules in this case.\n\nI guess I wasn't much help in an answer.  But perhpas if you all get together (your association) they can come up with an alternative that would solve your dilemna.  Perhaps a different garbage collection system.

If this is a elder person, Have the family pitch in to clean up then suggest that y'all take turns coming on specific days to help keep things in check. If this home belongs to someone who is physically able to do something about it, I would volunteer to help clean it up again, get the animals outside, have the city check the back up in the pipes, and let them know, if things don't stay cleaned up, you won't allow the children to visit anymore. If you think it is unhealthy, let them know. If you don't do something, someone else will. Better to hear it from you, than have the authorities kick them out of the home.

you are "dispatching" or sending them to a better place.\n\nsounds alot nicer in reports and over the radio than "killing the critter"

I'm not sure.  I think they're a type of plastic so you probably could recycle it...  But I'm sure they're not that harmful to the environment so you could just throw it away.
