I saw this on the news this morning as well! Nasty! Evil critters. I often see them when I take my dog out for a walk, and he always barks and lunges for them!

Didn't realize that raccoons hung around in packs :shock:

... As indicated in the article, perhaps they felt their younglings were threatened by the dog ???

They do wear masks and steal [garbage]. Now that they are organizing into gangs, people should be afraid.

Next time you are in YVR, go to Prospect Point in Stanley Park and you'll see the large pack of raccoons there.

I'll only be afraid when they get blades fitted on their feet so they can chase us down faster.......
Just kidding! :lol:

Imagine that those blades were sharpened to also make them a weapon, then we would really be in trouble. Would make the Vancouver gangs seem like child's play.

That's what happens when the province cuts back animal control.
