‘Crazy’ raccoon dog terrorizes villagers

A wild raccoon dog has been terrorizing a U.K. village, terrifying locals and attacking pets.

SWNS reports that police were called to Clarborough in Nottinghamshire this week after some residents were subjected to a two-hour standoff with the strange-looking animal.

Villager Mandy Marsh was woken by a “blood-curdling scream” early on Tuesday morning and her husband Dale ran outside to see a raccoon dog confronting the couple’s pet goat and pony. “He came back and he said to me ‘you are going to have to come and see this, there is something in the field attacking the pony and I have absolutely no idea what it is’,” she told SWNS.

“This raccoon was absolutely crazy. It was hissing and screaming and snarling,” Marsh added. “It was going absolutely mad.”

 

Armed with planks of wood, it took the couple two hours to chase the angry raccoon dog away, although their pet goat was left with a sore shoulder and scratches following the animal’s attack.

The raccoon dog returned moments later to confront a dog walker outside the March’s home, according to SWNS.

Two raccoon dogs went missing from a nearby enclosure on the morning of May 28, according to Nottinghamshire Police. “The animals, which are described as being the same size of a medium-to-small-sized dog, are potentially dangerous if approached as they are not domesticated,” it added, in a statement.

Marsh said that a local wildlife tracker offered to help track the raccoon dogs and had told her that something had been attacking local animals recently.

Raccoon dogs are not raccoons, but are members of the canid, or dog family, according to the U.K.’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). They are related to foxes and wolves.

    So some Brits are breeding “Racoon Dogs” for fur. That is crazy. They can’t even keep the beasts contained. The animals do not even have a nice looking coat. Minks also have nasty dispositions. There is no need for animal fur anymore. It used to be that animal skins and fur were all that people had to keep warm in the winter other than wool. There is no excuse for raising animals for fur anymore. People who raise animals for profit for any reason are some of the worst of the worst. Puppy mill owners and even the mass production of livestock are also horrible businesses. The welfare of the animal means nothing to them. People just do not look into things far enough to realize just who is producing the products that they buy and under what conditions. Most of the non food items that we buy today are manufactured in communist China where the laborers have no say in their day to day lives much less their working conditions and wages. You will never get into the parts of China where most of the manufacturing is done. Why do you think that these huge multinational foreign manufacturing corporations are located on the other side of the world? Cheap labor, no labor laws, and no environmental regulations just to start. You will not hear a word about working conditions in China in our totally controlled and censored media. Woops! This started out to be about “Racoon Dogs” didn’t it!
