Report Details

AI-generated, reviewed by reporter

Neighbours are deliberately feeding and housing a large family of raccoons on their property, causing the wildlife to climb onto adjacent properties and damage roofs, eaves, gutters, and downspouts. Raccoon droppings and urine are present on neighbouring properties, and the neighbours have refused requests via city channels to stop feeding the animals and remove them.

Description

My girlfriend's neighbour's are housing and feeding a large family of raccoons. At night they climb the eaves of our place and are wrecking the roof and eavestroph/gutter downspouts.
This is gonna cost us and other neighbour's money for housing repairs. We have asked them to stop feeding and get rid of the animals via city channels but they refuse too listen.
Please help there is droppings and animal urine all over cause of these animals.

This issue is still happening why wont anyone do anything about this. The raccoon are so brave they just slowly walk by me even when its still light outside. Another reason raccoons get brave like that is if they become rabbid animals which are now a matter of public safety.
