Rebekah The Raccoon Taken From Her Owners


Rebekah came to Connie and myself from a high school student that took her after a High School Agriculture Teacher in Tennessee had two students kill her mother that was inside the school chicken coop. Rather than teach, "capture, relocate and release", the teacher's poor judgement resulted in two orphaned baby raccoons, which one made it into our lives. Rebekah only lived inside my home and had "free run" just like Gunshow did, both were bottle fed, slept in our bed at night, and followed our every step. Help us "Free Rebekah"....Thanks for all the undying support and God Bless. Connie and Coonrippy. Thank you all for you support. Were asking for help and not sarcasim so all negative comments will be deleted. You can petition our cause by email to Bill Haslam Governor of Tennessee at bill.haslam@tn.gov Facebook Page

    2. (There are no laws about not keeping raccoons in Northern Ireland, are there?)

    3. They are legal there as long as certain rules are followed! http://www.doeni.gov.uk/niea/procyonids_a5_rebranded.pdf.pdf

      Statutes concerning racoons vary here in the states

    4. I'd keep it in the house and let it eat from the bin

    1. I left a comment on his Facebook page. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

  6. When I was young (40 yrs ago) my father rescued 2 orphan raccoons also. (the mother had been killed on the road). We bottle fed them & watched them grow. I was about 8 at the time. My sisters & I would dress them up in doll clothes, wrap them around our necks like fur collars and watch them explore everything and get into all kinds of mischief! It was quite an education to watch them wash and examine everything they touched with those tiny "hands". They lived outside or in the barn. When fall came, they went away to hibernate. We often wondered what had happened to them. Then one day 2 yrs later, we were sitting at the picnic table. Along comes this large raccoon with babies. She kept the babies away, but she came right up and put her paws on the picnic table. We knew it was ours because of a distinct scar above her eye. She had come back to say thank you for saving her life, to show us that life continues, and that she had not forgotten us. It was an awesome experience for us to have been blessed to have these two unique pets - for ever such a short time.
