The NC Wildlife, Moore County Sheriffs Dept, and Moore County Animal Control Came today and murdered my Sly Cooperette. Where is her Justice. They kill all raccoons regardless. She was vaccinated for rabies (by a licensed vet). Within minutes of arriving in Carthage she was dead. If given a few more hours we had a rehabber from SC with a raccoon Island coming for her. This law NEEDS to change now. Help me fight for Sly Cooperette call Jamie Boles office at 919-733-5903 and tell them you support Sly. I would also like to say THANK YOU to Mr. Whitman with Moore County Health Dept for fighting to help us get her remains back so she can be buried on the farm. THIS IS A WARNING FOR SQUEAMISH FOLKS READ NO FARTHER. We will not receive her head back because all captured raccoons in NC are killed and then decapitated to be tested for rabies. Again i will say we had Sly Cooperate for months, she was vaccinated. we have the records. So she was not a public health threat. In North Carolina there is a ketchup like packet that can be distributed

The State of South Carolina allows raccoons to be rehabbed as well as be kept in captivity. We had a bill in the State of North Carolina that allows you to keep one.
