What would be the common sense mechanism used to keep the raccoons out of cities?

My question was 'where did I write I had near misses with bears' I never said that (although I have been up close and personal with bears)

Good God, you have no clue do you. Common sense is a man with a gun shooting the unwanted animals. THey dont tend to care too much about fences or "keep out" signs.

And you say you live in the country? Im guessing you aint no farmer. and have never spoken to one either.

If you choose to live in a place that has racoons in a city, you either learn to live with them or move.

I am talking about farmers and land.

hahahaha.

Anthropomoprhism is one thing, but to credit animals with a sense of property ownership is taking things a bit too far, isn't it?

I, of course, killed as many as I could as fast as I could. I did that because there is no effective barrier.

That's the method currently used but I'm sure once we hear about the intelligent barriers we'll all switch to using them.

The first animal with guns certainly..............

I'm confused by your posts so I looked into your history. I thought you were moving to the US? http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...37#post1502437 post 4 refers. Do you think they are less into hunting and racoon control down there?
