Protect Yourself From Raccoons

With the days getting shorter human and raccoon encounters are getting more and more common. The Burnt Oak Community Center in Association with Boyes Veterinarian Clinic and Peelox Global Chemicals is putting on a raccoon safety course so you don’t end up dead like Aaron Miller.*

Topics covered include:

The dos and don’ts of sneaking up on a raccoon.
Raccoon pressure points.
Foreign languages that scare away raccoons the best.
Getting your cat’s ear back.
Using the tail for distance.
Funny faces that don’t scare away raccoons.

The five hour course starts at 9pm in room 419 of the BOCC.

*You may remember Aaron Miller wasn’t killed by a raccoon, but was crushed to death by a falling block of cement in 1997.
