5 baby raccoons dumped

5-9-17

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FIVE NEWBORN RACCOONS DUMPED AT PARK IN GILROY

$1,000.00 REWARD BEING OFFERED

On Sunday evening around 7:00 PM, at the Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy, a family witnessed an adult male pull a humane trap from the trunk of his car. It contained 5 newborn raccoons. 

He then dumped the raccoons in the grass between the entry parking lot and the creek.

We are offering a $1,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible.

The man indicated he lived a couple of miles away from the park. Does anyone know who this person is? If so, contact us - anonymously if you choose, at admin@wildlifeservices.org.





Amazingly, the baby raccoons survived the night without their mother, without food or shelter, exposed to the elements. They were rescued by Native Animal Rescue and transferred to the SPCA of Monterey County where they are being cared for.
