My question is, why or how did the animal control find out about the racoon. Did you notify them? I would think all you had to do is throw the carcass into the trash or dump it on the street and pretend it was highway kill.

Glad everything is ok..

On the side note, I remember when I was a little kid. I use to trap raccoon and would sell the skin to the fur traders, and the meat to the security guards at my neighborhood in Louisiana for 5 bucks each. For a 13 yrs old living in the country down in the bayou that was a lot of money.. Hope those guys didn't contract rabies...
