Racoons in the station.
This is beyond the pale. Staff FEEDING raccoons in the Metro station! See story in todays WAPO.
If that is not dangerous to passengers I don't know what is.
What's next a la Willard they will feed the rats? I think it all comes down to the quality of Metro staff has really declined.
Maybe the metro transit Cops will give the raccoons a ticket for eating in the station??
Once the raccoons lose the fear of being close to humans, then they will think human ankles are a food source & start to attack humans.
Another thing, Raccoons are night/nocturnal creatures. if they are out in the daytime, its a good chance they are already rabid & should be feared.
I wonder how soon, a raccoon will make it to a train going downtown??
God knows pidgeos have....
A few people I know have seen rats in Gallery Place. How ironic.
