Animal Problem: Wales Drive, a resident was walking her dog and noticed a raccoon in the greenbelt – west of the houses and to the south next to the pine tree. yesterday the raccoon was in the park off Wilshire Circle. The resident is concerned because it has been in the neighborhood for 2 days and this morning her dog barked at the raccoon and it didn’t run off, so she thinks it may be injured. Animal Control responded, but said it wasn’t sick and that they think people may be feeding them as they are just comfortable around people. A homeowner yesterday stated to me that they have found Tuna cans around, so they think someone is baiting the Racoon’s. Please do not feed the cute little wildlife critters, leave that up to Elly May Clampett.
