On a local forum, a member posted yesterday that she knows someone who got two baby racoons and they are growing up and no longer want them. I asked her to get me more info such as where they got them, how old, sexes, behavior, etc.
From the sounds of it, this was a pair of cubs someone found and decided to take it upon themselves to raise them. They have no permit, so they cannot be legally shipped anywhere. They have to be picked up.
I told her to tell her friend not release them into the wild. Also I know how the local fish and game and humane society works...tame racoons will likely be euthanized.
They are free, but I told her her friends need to give them to someone with a permit. I will post more info when I get it. Or I can pass an email or phone number to anyone interested to the owners of the racoons.
