These three raccoons were released today in the Northwoods. They are smaller than normal for this time of year to begin Around the fourth of July, someone decided to throw poison of some type into the enclosure perimeters.16 became seriously ill. It was buy them daily medication at over $36 per day or get a freezer to replace the defunct one. They got medication. Some were too small to fight it. Some were not so small but it took them too. This will haunt me forever. Why would someone do such a horrible thing to such precious creatures? You can help by sending gently used items from our Wish List on Dory & the Orphans website [http://doryandtheorphans.com] -- many items you would probably throw away anyway. Your donations not only help the Raccoon Orphanage in the Northwoods, they help LBA members rehabbing in all the States and Canada. [LBA = http://lawbreakersanonymous.com]
Background music so fitting is by Todd Rundgren "Hello It's Me"
Matzo, all creatures great and small deserve someone who loves like you do. I am so glad these three survived the horrible poisoning and are able to live life free and happy. Now your heart can heal. Mary

Well, o.k. Now I AM in tears. It is so wonderful seeing these babies being set free again, after the horrible summer you have had. I sure hope that the person or persons who were responsible for poisoning the others see this and feel truely guilty and horrible. These wild creatures deserve our love and respect, and all the help we can give them. Courage, Matzo. Love, Mary
