Our first successful baby raccoon rescue has taken place for the 2008 birthing season. Six baby raccoons with their eyes not open yet, were found huddled around their dead mother. Mother had apparently been attacked by dog(s) [in what can only be considered defending her infants from harm] and subsequently killed adjacent to Dog Beach FL. One neonate infant that made it through the initial trauma did not survive to arrive at the rehabber.
A feral cat rescuer contacted Raccoon Rescue about these orphaned baby coonies on her porch in a box. Thank the Angels she found RR6Public. Valentine's Day - Feb 14, 2008 9:42 am, Nancine's post for help set the wheels of our fairly quiet Yahoo group into high gear [it was impressive], Nancine learned what she needed to do [and did it quite marvelously]. Meanwhile our Florida rehabbers started brainstorming, pin pointed locations, and had those babies in the capable hands of Denise - [an experienced licensed wildlife rehabilitator] - within 12 hours of that post. The group sighed a collective sigh of relief, and welcomed in Spring birthing season, and a new kindred spirit to RR6Public.
More details will follow .... when I get pictures ...... :^)
Thank you Nancine and Denise ... and everyone in between there giving such excellent advice and moral support to each other. Gotta love it!

Um...i certainly was not joking and I was not saying I would have eaten raccoons for dinner but that the 17 raccoons would have eaten US for dinner.
