    The people I trust are doctors, soldiers, judges and, just free thinking free spirited individuals. A lot of people share my political views, and that's why it is not any sort of mental illness or anything.

    Thedope, however, is holding the coon responsible for the absence of an electrical barrier that would have prevented said circumvention by said coon. But I digress . . .

    I'm really confused about the raccoon thing. I suggest you both electrify your fences.

    My whole family and two neighbors were wiped out in a savage attack by a family of unfriendly raccoons. It's a touchy subject with me. I don't really want to talk about it. :)

    No kidding. Since you did, Electrical fencing is not suitable for small animals that can easily avoid electrified wires.

    How many chicken coops do you operate deep in natures backyard? You make an intellectual assent with out the benefit of instruction from local conditions.

    Friend I have already dismissed your argument as uninformed. But I wouldn't let this little tat stand in the way of learning something from the encounter that we all might benefit from, and that is the living example of how we naturally protect that which we identify as our own. Just as you don't want to let your observation that I refuse to see the need for an electric fence, perish, because you think it is well considered and you
    love your creations.

    I don't have to. It doesn't relate except in a political sense. It is an aside addressing storches digression.

    But yes, I have more of what I am on.

    AHRG!

    I have been incorrectly diagnosed 4 times in as many years, couple soldiers I met could qualify as psychophants, I recently had to file charges on another judge for abusive descretion, and if you mean "free" in its original legal meaning as "franchise contract" the franchise thinking I will agree with.

    Since I know that you know that raccoons are not small enough to slip between wire strands, I immediately dismissed your argument as uninformed. My observation that you needed an electric fence around your enclosure was well considered. I didn't create that fact. I merely stated it. Perhaps your recent adjustments have compensated for your past oversight. That is good.

    as would i if one came near my coop and i saw it.....boom boom..out go the lights....then you hang the racoon on a tree and wait for the coyotes ,make sure you get the pups...the older ones stay away....coyotes and racoons are on the same level as a rat in farm communities

    herein lies the problem...the ignorant already believe they are free....so instead of speaking up against ???? they get in the car and hit walmart

    that said...

    fuck you guys are polite when you call each other dicks...its great reading lol

    It's called refinement. :)

    It's what separates the dolphins from the raccoons.

    And my understanding is that he had a gun, but really wasn't prepared for anything like a predictable emergency.

    Thank you for your generous consideration. Doesn't the fact that my solution doesn't involve an electric fence make your argument somewhat like mental masturbation? Of course I speak as though there were an appreciable difference between jacking off and jerking off.

    The hole that the raccoon managed to dig in hard pan under the wall of the structure measured 3 by 5 inches. I don't know what kind of electrification you imagine.

    I was just giving an example of the diversity of people, who share my political opinions.

    Thedope,

    The fact that there were two solutions to your problem does not negate the fact that you were initially ignorant of both.

    When you use a fence, you have to put it into the ground about two feet. Did you know that?
