Cold, Hungry Raccoons Refuse to Eat Turkey Meat

Wow, that's quite the condemnation, I'm glad you didn't eat any of it.

If you are going to feed those guys, why not get a bag of cat chow, that would be healthy for them and cheap enough?

Hi Mercury.

I'm sure they'd love that. I bought them dog biscuits last year, but cat chow would be tastier.

I worry about them being too comfortable around humans though.

It's probably not good to feed wild animals.

RINSE OFF THE SLIMY TURKET AND TOAST IT UP A LITTLE BIT

if it has the texture of spam it is not turkey it is GMO fetus meat imported from china made to look like turkey, most likely injected with a good dose of msg as well

Yes the 'coons here love the cat's food! Actually they and the cats get along rather nicely. :)

The one thing that dared to come into our yard one night but never returned - a skunk.

Once again, proof that animals are probably smarter than humans. Even an animal knows not to eat that processed crap they try and pass off as food. Sandwiches? What, did you use Wonder white bread, too?

An animals sense of smell and their instincts allow them to know poison when they see it. Unfortunatly, humans, who are able to read labels, still find themselves buying and ingesting crap.

Shame on you also for thinking that it might make YOU sick to eat it, but it's okay for an animal to eat. Guess they showed you smarter than you they are.

Ouch ouch ouch..

I never use Wonder bread. I made yeast rolls.
I sliced the rolls and stuffed the turkey inside. They ate around the meat.

And yes, shame on me.

In the future, I will endeavor to provide a more nourishing and palatable selection of culinary delights to the local scavengers, lest they become offended by my meager, peasant-like offerings.





How about not feeding them at all? You are humanizing them. Raccoons are NOT cute lil' ole furry animals. Raccoons can carry rabies and other disease and are known to simply enter a house and start foraging into garbage cans. For the sake of children, let the animals fend for themselves, as they've been for eons. Kids don't need to be attacked by animals who approach them because they are no longer fearful of humans and actually look to them for food.

It didn't have meat grain patterns in it like a slice off a real bird would have.

Pinkish. No texture, smooth like baloney but thin.

Do they? I worry about them ganging up and jumping on my cat. Hell, I worry about them ganging up and jumping on ME.

I'm not sure of my place on the food chain yet.
