Man deliberately drowns baby raccoon

[Catherine]

This is shocking. Someone caught a baby raccoon in a live trap and then put the trap in a metal garbage can full of water and put rocks on top of it to keep it submerged. This is a deliberate act of cruelty against a baby animal.
It is fortunate that a neighbour heard the little raccoon crying as it struggled against death.

Yes they have caught the guy and he will be charged.

How cold hearted would you have to be to intentionally do that to a baby animal of any kind. They think the little raccoon was trapped for hours desperately trying to breath.
This is worse than the guy who beat a baby raccoon to death with a shovel. At least he was in a fit of rage and acted irrationally. This was cold hearted and planned. After all he had to fill the garbage can with water and put rocks on the cage. That took time and planning.
I hope it goes to court and I really want to do jury duty on this one.

After all he went through the little guy still might not make it.
