I walk the neighborhood in my Mesa, AZ area. I met a guy a couple of blocks away and we talked about skunks in his yard. Well, he also had racoons. He has a security camera at the front of his house, which has one of the few grass lawns in the area. He killed one, and put it behind his house. A vulture picked it up and dropped it on the street in front. A neighbor saw it and called the wildlife guys. They show up and talk to him. He said 'what can I do with 9 of them in the front lawn'? He showed a video of them. The wildlife guys quietly says 'Just be more careful and don't advertise it!' Apparently they are protected animals in the city limits (maybe the state?). When I was young in FFA we had 'pest' hunts and racoons were one of the top point things to capture. Other things like sparrows, crows, etc too. Apparently there are no pests anymore!!!!
