There have been raccoon sightings pretty regularly around here. Even most recently in a parking lot along Market Street.
We received an email from a neighbor who lives near 73rd & Alonzo who says that she came home and found a flyer that says:
Attention Neighbors!
A family and their dog were attacked by a raccoon last night 9/10/09 around 10:00pm. All were injured and are being treated for rabies. Be watchful of your animals and children as this “wild” creature has become a threat. Please do not feed this animal.
Update: We spoke with the family who was attacked. Updated story here.
