A plan to fix raccoon woes

-

Re Blame us for raccoon woes, June 21 It is high time that Toronto started a “Trap, Spay/Neuter, Release Program” to control the raccoon population.

I am tired of seeing small baby raccoons wandering around, their mothers having been trapped and the young left to survive as best they can. A population control program such as the above mentioned “Trap, Spay/Neuter, Release Program” plus the addition of a birth control pellet distributi­on could stop the often cruel and unsuccessf­ul control systems now in use.

I’m sure these programs would be appreciate­d by the public, especially those who have had property damage and in desperatio­n have often taken very cruel measures into their own hands. Ann Bell, Toronto
