We have an obviously sick raccoon wandering the neighborhood showing classic signs of rabies. I've been on the phone all day trying to get someone who deals with this sort of thing to come out and do something before someone gets hurt. It's stumbling around, drooling and very aggressive if approached. I've contacted animal control, the local police department, Department of Natural Resources, exterminators, the mayor's office, and all have said not their problem and to just trap it myself. WTF?

I get some of those but not the refusal by animal control. That's their purpose. Otherwise why do we have them?
I started with animal control. Police department told me to call an exterminator which I thought was silly since the animal isn't in my house. Although it tried to chew through my elderly neighbors screen door and bared it's fangs at her.
