>> I was attacked by a rabid raccoon that was in my barn that houses my pasture raised chickens. I got bit. The raccoon is dead and was turned into the health dept. for testing. It killed 5 of my birds. Today I saw more tracks out there and the have-a-heart trap that was set was closed with the bait gone and no animal in it. I need to protect my flock from these animals. Traps do not work well, obviously. They need to be poisoned. It might not sound humane, but the damage they do is unbelievable. And being attacked was absolutely terrifying.
