But that's not ...I'd forgotten it was Ontario wide. But that's not the reason the city gives. The city says you cannot relocate beyond a short distance because it leads to the raccoons dying due to not fitting in with other animals' territories. The city couldn't care less about disease spread, otherwise they'd improve their garbage pickup.<BR/><BR/>As for outside the city, the wildlife companies that used to relocate the animals said they put them on their own acreage. And if the city is correct, and the raccoons were promptly killed off by their rivals, then don't see how they could be a problem.<BR/><BR/>Coyotes are not nearly at territorial limits. The raccoon population in Toronto is beyond its territorial limits, which is why we're seeing odd, disturbing behaviours these days. The city not picking up the garbage is a big part of the problem. The only solution is a cull and return to previous service levels of garbage pickup. Think any politician will go for either? Nah, me neither.talk talk talk / Shireenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453931641034885060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12218227.post-8789001213896291672009-03-29T21:47:00.000-04:002009-03-29T21:47:00.000-04:00wildlife relocation is an ontario law not just a t...wildlife relocation is an ontario law not just a toronto and the reason for this law is 1.to stop the spread of diseases such as rabies and distemper and why do you think anyone outsde the city wants problem raccoons? both raccoon and coyote populations are at carring or near carring capicity in all of ontario relocation of wildlife is not the answermatt dhttp://www.duncanwildlifecontrol.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
