Completely Dispicable - Issues with animal control services in Durham Region

Jun 09, 2009 11:33

Today on my way home from paying my tuition mum and I saw a rather unusual sight on the side of the road, 4 baby raccoons with no mother in sight. So we pulled into the nearest vet and had them call animal control services and then went to protect the little things with my mothers car (yea blocked off part of a ending lane with the 4-way flashers on). I then called again about 10 min later to find out where the Animal control services people were, they WEREN'T coming! Apparently according to the animal control act they couldn't come and deal with the baby raccoons because they couldn't relocate the babies more than 1km from where they were found or come to shoo em into the bush or anything.

THIS IS DESPICABLE!!!! 4 baby raccoons, next to a major town road, and they wouldn't come to do anything?!

... I just don't get it...

So after I found out that they wouldn't be coming out to fix the situation
dl_shipper34 and I shooed them as far into the brush as we could.

I really hope that I don't see those little things as road kill on anderson because of the stupid law that prevented animal control from coming out to help them.

annoyed, pissed off, idiotic
