Latro Captus Est!

The racoon has been captured. Even as I write I await the arrival of animal control for the removal and release of Ricky the Racoon.

I did get a stern warning from PG county animal control however. Apparently it is illegal to trap at night in Maryland for humane reasons.

Does animal control have any other idea, other than trapping at night, how to catch nocturnal creatures?

Oh nooooo - musn't keep dear ol' Rick in the cage overnight - might traumatize the poor thing. Hey, but keeping Muslim prisoners in iced cells, waterboarding, electro-shock and sexual humiliation - that's cool.

Can you spell Bizzaro World?
