Such a good momma hesitated to check on others. I had a momma raccoon come to live in my shed . She had three babies.i fed her all winter and let her stay. I asked her not to poop in shed. And she didn't. It was all good. It is their world too. Live and let live.
Thank you Ms. Higgnet.
Agree completely. Imo, I believe she should have been able to live out their time there and move on out. They don’t want to live where human voices are. They want to be up in those trees.
Exactly, we destroy their environment and give them no other choice.. It’s illegal here to move active bird nests. I wish the same could be said for more animals trying to find a safe place to raise their children.
Thank you. I would of had the same reaction.
@@stefanspaseski3696 sadly, I know that people still do move the nests...
I love people like this...not only the rescuers, but the homeowner who was willing to pay to have that hole cut into her ceiling and the added expense. Kudos to all involved including Mama!
Who else would pay ?
@@Q_QQ_QSanta Clause
When I was an aerial and satellite engineer, I had some customers who didn't want to pay for me to walk across a 5 storey drop wall to replace their satellite dish (no one else would because dangerous) and had another customer who had a £4000 75" TV, but didn't want to pay us £250 for the wall mount that's built for it. Some customers are bizarre, at least this one was realistic and willing to pay so the rescuers could do their job.
Cut a small hole in sheet rock is not much money.
UA-cam money
Poor mama raccoon, how confused and frightened she must have been. Thank you for kindly moving these animals back to their native habitat. To the wildlife we owe a simple respect.
Hello Yvonne, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Now they'll be cold
@@aubreyshelton3217I would have left them in the hole at the rooftop of the house and safe
@@user-px4iu1gx8c IFR of less than 0.15%, what are you talking about? The injections are the most dangerous thing of all.
I would have done the most kind & caring thing and put a .22 hades through its skull. But tomato tamoto...
It's very reassuring how times and attitudes have changed through the years. I'm in my 70s and when I was young, a raccoon with babies inside a roof may very well not have ended so well. I remember similar situations in my old city neighborhood where raccoons were looked upon as vermin and, if possible, the mother and the babies would have been killed. What do you know, there are some aspects of humanity that have improved over the years! Kudos to the trappers and even the homeowner who allowed a happy ending to this story.
I showed my mom this video and she said, “I always wanted a baby raccoon.” And then told me they should’ve put the babies up in a tree. When I asked if they lived in trees, she said yeah, that’s how they (her dad) used to hunt them (adults). When the dogs barking at them in the tree, you shoot em. And then take them home for bbq. 😖
I hope the trend continues. I see less of it on some of the video shorts out there. It's disheartening.
You can probably find plenty of videos with cruelty and sadism packaged as normalcy.
I have families of raccoons that come to my back fence six times a day to eat, dry dog, food and peanuts! Some of them have names, and they respond to their names when I go out and call for them. ❤
@@cindivankirk8391 I don't want to sound like a crazy person but animal, dogs too. Would be better off not eating "dog food". My advice to anyone is to feed them our leftovers. Plants that make dog, cat or even cattle food use shady ingredients. Dogs on this diet get "human" diseases like cancer or diabetes in record time.
The fathers are quite loving to thier families too. I have apple trees and I saw one of the cutest things Ive ever seen to do with them. I was looking out my window and a father racoon climed the tree while the mother and babies sat looking up at him, and he started throwing them down apples just like a baseball pitcher. It was great to watch. So human.
Wow that's really cool that would have been a very nice video to see. But nevertheless great story.
Awww that's so cool! What a great daddy. 🥰
Awww...that is so sweet! I love all animals.
Did this happen or were you on acid?
@@ampmri2434 I dont do drugs
I was an animal control officer and wildlife management officer for 19 years. I’m very impressed with your skills and safety in doing your work.
Agreed 💯✨
lolololololol..
Totally agree!!! They did an outstanding job!!!
@@HokieJuju In just 2 hours!..
Great job ! As an a wildlife mangt officer your are very well organized and safety conscious
This worked out so well. Such a good Momma, and the wildlife control guy and his helper was so great how they handled this. No pressure or harm to the animals. Job well done!
I hope she found some where else safe to raise them. I know people don't want raccoons in their roof but that little nook at the top of the window was the perfect space for them in terms of safety from predators, shelter and warmth! Clever mamma raccoon to find that spot! Glad this rescue went so well. I love raccoons.
I know! It seemed so perfect and cozy. Maybe we should build houses with built in nesting areas that won't damage the house?
@@voyaristika5673 That would be amazing!☺
Most of the time they have a second den
Raccoon feces is extremely toxic for humans. It’s no joke.
@@avril232 You've commented this same message on literally every comment under this video..
Damn wish my mother had the sense to come back for me like the mother raccoon did for her babies. Happy Mother's Day to the real mothers.
Sorry to hear this. Just be a good daddy if you are or when you will be.
@AndreAntoine obviously I don't know your life story but the comment you wrote is just too raw for me to read and move on. There's not a mother alive who doesn't think about their child every day and if your mum has passed then she's watching over you. If she gave you up either she had no choice or she believed you'd be better off. If it seemed like she chose drugs/drink/a man over you then know addiction takes away choices and there's always rock bottom and the realisation that your child was the real treasure. At that point she either carried on to block out the pain or she's had plenty of time to regret her actions. I'm sorry you didn't have the mother you wanted or deserved but the only constructive thing you can do is forgive her - not because you're cool with what took place but so you can begin to put the pain down; there's too much good in you and in life and carrying around hurt and bitterness and rejection uses up too much time and energy. If you can get to that point maybe you can also accept that your mom missed out big time, all the things she never got to do with you or know about you. Any mother would be proud and happy to have you as their son. The next step is to be the mother you never had but needed. To yourself. Whatever you wanted and needed from her. Don't have to go round acting like a mommy 😁, but you do have to look after yourself, forgive yourself if you mess up, see the best of yourself, stand up for yourself, protect yourself and love yourself. Whether you know it or not, you are very much wanted here on earth.
@@katehipkin1039 nice cm thanks
I know your pain from personal experience. I hope you find love and become a great father to your children if you wish to have children. You're worthy of love and respect.
Some women arent nice people as well. Know a few of those. They gave up kids because they were an inconvience. I hope for you it was the latter.
Racoons are extremely smart. I have been a ranch manager for 15 years and those little critters can almost figure out how to pick a lock!
I can tell. She was watching every move that guy was making on the ladder. And she definitely found a great location to have the babies. Wonder how old they were.
@@white-gold only 5 days old.
@@hope4humanity222 OMG amazing👍
It's about, little critters? I would say big.
😆really?? Pick a lock ...
IN MY VIEW
I am so impressed with your professionalism and tenderness removing and relocating the mother racoon and her babies Great job.
That was absolutely wonderful to watch. Poor mum didn’t have any time to find a new home. What a fantastic mum she is.
Raccoons and honestly most animals that use dens will maintain at least two at any one time so that if the first one becomes not safe for whatever reason they have an immediate fallback plan.
@@the_undead this is great to hear. While watching this I was thinking they’d all freeze to death.
Mother raccoon to friend: Don’t ask me how my day was. I got evicted w/o 30-day notice. Do you realize how hard it is relocating 4 kids? Luckily I found a nice place 3 houses away.
LMAO.
I hope she did! The poor mother with four little ones out in the cold because of cruel human who was not hurt in any way by the family's presence in that little space.
@@jenv9782 VERY TRUE !
Love this💕 comment.
Stop using your kids as a scape goat.If you have to do that YOUR NOT A PARENT ,YOU ARE A KID WITH KIDS! FACT.
That poor mama was so stressed. I would have built her a new home in my backyard.
Yes, they could have waited just a few more weeks before sealing the attic. She went out of her way to find a safe place & now very vulnerable & too vulnerable to human violence. Did she find a safe place for such vulnerable babies? Perhaps the neighbors see them as pests, can legally poison them or call a pest control co to kill them, drown them. Poor timing was my complaint. Good work, but poor timing.
Also at the Vet last year someone was telling of her neighbor who found a raccoon in his garage & beat him to death with a baseball bat. She said this is not the exception, but rather the rule. She was absolutely correct in observing that. I hope she found a safe place rather than someone without empathy. Pls visit my fb to learn lots more.
looking at that roof with so many metal screens i would just build a safehouse in a tree
YES !!!
@@nadiarepich5199 No, they could not. Raccoons can destroy buildings if not evicted ASAP.
Your compassion to these dear animals brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Thanks for leaving this comment, because before we watched it, we had to make sure the racoons live..the title seems it would be so..but..had to be sure. Thanks !
My kinfolk would have put them on death row, an eaten them.
Ijs.
@@sharonjackson268 Your kinfolk from 200 years ago? I hope.
Well done! Thank you for sharing this demonstration and act of common sense and caring in this environment where all living things strive to survive.
Exactly what I was thinking. Most just euthanize without giving mom a chance
Your kindness to the critters is so wonderful.thank you!!!
Hello Christine, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
👍I’m sorry for the inconvenience to the homeowner, but we have to admit that momma raccoon chose a fine house to have her babies.👍😂💝
Agreed 💯✨
Inconvenience, come on the homeowner should have just left the mama and the babies there, now they're out in the elements... the weather, predators and so on, just leave the babies there, they were fine and safe.
Raccoons are predators, too. They will attack pets and even kill them. My little dog (about twenty pounds) was attacked in our fenced yard twice. The first attack landed him in the animal hospital with bites and slashes to his abdominal region. We live in the city and it was by a mama raccoon with babies in the tree next door. In both attacks, my husband heard the commotion and fought off the raccoons. We don't leave the pets out overnight. In each instance, we had let the dogs out briefly for a potty break. Raccoons are cute, but are wild. Don't approach or feed. They can be especially vicious protecting their young.
Absolutely. Mama just wanted someplace safe and warm. Should have left them alone. Now they face the cold again all stressed out. Poor things. Be kind to innocent animals that need help.
@Zer Schmetterling - I know what you mean. 🤗
Wow you Canadians are brave. Not only did you avoid a violent confrontation with a mother raccoon, you went to great heights to give the mother easier access to her babies. Great work 👍
There not damn canaidians
Ontario, Canada
As a Canadian, this comment is dumb. This particular COMPANY goes above and beyond.
Unfortunately not all Canadians are like this. When I was a kid I watched some construction workers renovating a house and when they found a mother raccoon and her kits they decided to kill them with a crowbar so they didn't have to deal with them humanely.
Canadians are lovers.. not fighters,.
this is actually amazing I love watching the way the mother comes back for each child and the way she carries them ahh it’s all such a beautiful sight
That’s so cute 😊 ☺️🥰 with the babies and their mama.
Beautiful! Thank you for being kind to her and her litter. 😊❤
*THIS*
@@esra_erimez ❤
I hope she found a safe place for her babies. I’m sure she picks the spot to raise them in before she gives birth. That can’t be easy to do all over again with 4 small babies :(
RIGHT.... where is she gonna take them??
@KH, they usually build 2 or 3 dens so if one doesn't work out, she takes them to another one.
I would have built a small house for them, just a 1' X 3' square box with an opening with a blanket inside and just leave it in the far corner of the yard, lol
Luckily she looks quite fat so she'll have no trouble feeding them wherever she goes next
They should have waited just a few more weeks.
Mom is really cute I can't lie.
What a great job this guy does and extremely compassionate
They do a great job together for sure
Oh yeah it's so compassionate to evict a single mother with 4 newborn babies in the middle of winter. Leaving her newborns on frozen ground while she is desperately trying to find a warm place. Shut up.
@@gladitsnotme yeah, the least among us keep getting less and less. people are just selfish beyond reason. what did it get them but big bills, when all they had to do was repair the soffit after they had left the nest. coexist.
@@gladitsnotme As if you’d like to live with raccoons in your attic.
The mother and the rescuers get an A+ on this mission🙂
Wish we had a wildlife service like this where I live.
For all of the years that I’ve been a Wildlife rehabber, raccoons are one of the best mommas out there♥️
Cool🤗👍
This is an outrage! How could you evict a single mother while the CDC ban is in effect?
No doubt. I raised a few litters of orphans and it was no picnic. I had a litter of 9 that were around a week old, mother was hit and killed. They needed feeding every 2-3 hours and all had different schedules. Unfortunately I lost 8 of the 9 within 3 weeks. It turned out to be bad kitten formula, it was killing zoo animals too. I got my hands on 2 more orphans because you need at least 3 to release back to the wild. Terribly sad experience but pretty rewarding watching the 3 grow up to be released. It was amazing seeing their natural hunting skills. I would fill a wading pool with minnows. Within a minute they were catching them and soon after that they were catching mice. My other litters were both 3 and all survived.
Good Mom!!❤️
@@touchtoomuch1000 bless you
I would have laughed like hell if she'd taken up residency in the "baby box"! "A heating pad? This is great! How do I call for room service?".
I was surprised that she didn't even hesitate to use the ladder. The maternal instinct never fails to amaze me!
It's obvious she's been through this drill before. She is currently living in the backyard neighbors attic with another litter of 6.
@@MichaelGiordano777 GOOD.
I too was amazed at how she just took right to the ladder. Intelligence is often defined by how quickly an individual can adapt to changing circumstances.
They have moved into the box a couple of times. They let them stay for a day, and them encouraged them to move because they need their box back.
Aww, it sucks being a single mom who just gave birth to quadruplets being suddenly evicted without notice. I can't imagine finding a safe place for her family that quickly would've been easy. Poor momma... My heart goes out to her. What a rough day she had, through no fault of her own. 💕 ~THC
❤️
this is a very heart warming story ❤️..thanks ❤️
NO NO NO NOOOOO
agree
I agree, it would have been better if the people living in the house just allowed the mother to continue to live there at least until the babies where older, now they're homeless. Its hard to find a safe place to live even for animals. My heart goes out to the momma, I feel bad for her, she's got new borns that she must protect, she thought she had a save place in the attic away from preditors but she got evicted, sad. I would have let them stay.
Your kindness to the critters is so wonderful.thank you!!!. Such a good mom and such a good rescue team ! Congrats.
I used to feed some stray cats 🐈 outside. One morning I was out in the dark. I was petting a very fluffy kitten. I picked it up and telling it how cute and fluffy it was. I walked up the steps and turned on the porch light 💡 & it was a raccoon 🦝😑
u lyin... a raccoon wouldn't let a human do that esp first encounter
@@tyreesneed it prolly wasn’t the first time , and he was the neighborhood raccoon lots of people fed & handled him before me.
On my friends backyard racoon was coming and acting playfully like a puppy, he was rolling around, and wanted to play but I never did because I was scared it will bite me, it was younger racoon tho, smaller size, maybe like teenage
@Ay-yoo that is strange , for a rat to let u get that close, they usually scamper away.
A baby opossum looks similar, w/ hairless tail, & will hiss but don't bite, where a rat will ifcornered
Put it down RUN!!!
U know the mama was just so terrified that she was about to lose her precious little babies. I'm so glad this ended the way it did. It's so interesting and so sweet to watch how raccoons and also opossums are with their babies. They're very loving and protective of them. I watched a mama opossums carry all of her babies on her back out of storm drain one night, in the middle of a stork, trying to save them from the flooding. I wanted to go help her so bad but knew it probably wasn't the best idea and that she probably had it handled on her own. It was just sweet seeing how she loved her babies so much
Such a good mom and such a good rescue team ! Congrats
I super agree
2weeks later on the neighbour called indicating he’s had a family of raccoons move in suddenly. Lol.
Bwahaha! 🤣🤣🤣🦝 You already know!
Like the homeless today man's mismanagement of the earth leaves no way out deforestation no place for them to go . Let your kingdom come LET YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH as it is done in the heavens PEACE COME to all LIVING THINGS
It's called job security.
@John Smith what a cruel heart u have
@@beckyberlin1190 true that 😞🥺 for sure he is a🧟♂️
Absolutely love the amount of care and respect you guys have for wildlife.
Yea right! what a stupid comment. Instead there should be a law against what these people have done; not something humane at all. This mother spent a lot of time in finding a safe place for her babies. Now they force her with for new borns on her hands to find another safe place. What these people did was not something to be respected; it was inhumane & should be reported to the humane society in America. They had no idea what fate was awaiting her & her babies because of their stupid action. We don't even really know if the mother came back for her last baby now do we?
@@Paulsministry I empathize with her, too, and likely would have just let them stay. But I can understand why it’s a safety issue to have a raccoon raising a family inside the walls of your house. I think they did a pretty great job of being kind and humane and gentle and minimally disruptive in moving them.
@@Paulsministry The point was to remove said wild-life from a human dwelling, where it was not wanted and could pose a danger, with as minimal an impact to both as possible; not rehouse said wild-life, as you seem to imply. In that respect, they succeeded.
It is your largely purposeless and nonsensical diatribe that is, if anything, stupid.
@@kristienorsedragonwebber1328 shoot the damn coons and eat them. All this labor and man power for this nonsense. What a tear jerker waste.
Lol, the guy literally almost sawed the babies in half.
Thanks for being so thoughtful - You can see how much she loves her babies
You do a great job properly relocating wildlife. I am very impressed by your compassion.
"Relocated"? Yeah, probably to another unit in the same townhouse complex.
Thank you for treating these little critters with so much care.
I love this! Why can't everybody be this compassionate and caring with animals?? They have to live, too...
Too bad you and your friends don't show any compassion toward humans. Other animals are not just little cute toys. They can also be aggressive and dangerous. Respect them. Don't mistake them for tame pets.
To be compassionate and caring is a choice. To rise above our personal fear of unworthiness
and give love where it is needed will displace the fear of darkness
and illuminate the truth of who we are in essence; loving goodness manifest.
What is so compassionate about kicking a raccoon family out of their nest? How about letting them grow up in there and close the access to it when they are adults and gone???!!! That would be much more compassionate. People are so cruel.
Not all humans or animals make good parents. Some mother animals eat their young. They. like human mothers were unprepared to be parents. So tragic. I am sorry.
So do babies.
Oh, my heart goes out to the brave Mama raccoon 🦝💕
I'm sure she was frightened, but she wasn't leaving her little, less than a week old babies. Is there anything more precious than baby anything? But these little helpless racoon babies.... incredibly beautiful. And much gratitude goes to these kind, understanding humans....who patiently helped to relocate Mama and her babies. For taking the time to move slowly to not scare Mama. To the homeowners, who choose to find caring, experienced people to help relocate their unwelcomed guest. This entire video made me smile warmly...to prove their is always a way to humanly coexist with wildlife. You have to admit....as a pregnant Mama, she worked very hard to prepare a warm, safe home for her coming little family ❤🦝
Even if she was a welcome guest the fibreglass in the attic is bad for their lungs 😢 i would ket them stay if it wasnt harmful for them
Wow that rescue was absolutely amazing.Thank you for caring.
Rescue vs Eviction
Awh the mom was shaking so bad in fear for her and her babies!!💔
That was so tramatIc for that poor mom.
Hope they all found a safe place to live
I know...poor mama.
Single mom got evicted with four new babies, had to find another home for them without advance warning.
I know she couldn't stay where she was, and they did a good job of making sure she was reunited with the babies, but that was a lot for her to go through.
It had a good ending though. Hope she found a safe place for them.
@@jaytee2642 I have went through this process myself. If you wait 6-9 weeks, babies are weened and they climb up in trees to sleep, you then close up the area of the house. It is unfortunate that the young were put on the ground and are now exposed to predators, hopefully mama was able to find them a safe spot. The problem is that when they are so young the babies don't know how to climb and live in trees....
Mama Raccoon just shredded that ladder coming down!
@@RicOshayed1Black belt Ladder Acadeny🌱
I know carly.I was thinking now that you moved them from the house, where is she going to take them.
You did a great job with the momma raccoons and her babies. Hopefully she found a safe place to raise her babies. Thank you. Helene❤
Awww I hope mamma has found somewhere warm and safe for her and her babies,that box would've made a nice little home for them
She had nice warm home till they moved them i would of left her alone the bastards
The babies will be traumatize they should of left them alone
@@franniebanani6532 I agree. Why not leave them?
@@franniebanani6532 then you can one day have 5 big ass raccoons to grow, growl, and fight in your walls believe mr those 5 will turn into more
I remember watching animal shows with my dad and whenever someone called a human mother an animal for harming or killing their baby, my dad would ALWAYS say, Animal's take much better care of their young than that and that it was an insult to the animal kingdom to compare. This momma raccoon is the perfect example. God bless her and her family
Yes I loved it they did absolutely great gob I love when people look out for animals cuz that can't quite defend for themselves or like you know nessnitty take care of themselves like the greatest so it always puts a smile on my face to see that when humans to ever or go the extra way for animals cuz I'm an animal lover
So thank you for whoever is out there doing that I got bless you guys and I thank you guys so much you guys will always have my love and support allyou animal lovers out there and helpers thank you and God bless
Like the man said Mama wasn't having any of that she was getting her babies right then and there no child protective services was going to get her kids.
Thanks so much for saving these precious babies and their mom. It was a beautiful heartwarming happy ending. I love all animals and people who go out of their way to save them. A special thanks to the homeowner for allowing you to save them. ❤
I use to have my own wildlife rescue. I have known a few wildlife control people but it is so WONDERFUL to actually see you in action! God bless you and the animals!
Poor thing, imagine how worried she was for them, wondering what was happening to her babies and concerned for her own safety! She didn't go far and stayed close. Good mama racoon!
Yes bro
Yes definitely
Man he's good. A whole house and a weird section of it, yet he was able to make one section cut within an inch of the pups. So cool!
Poor mama raccoon…. The stress, the horror… The heroism!❤
I love this so much! Thank you for all you do to humanely rescue wildlife who are just trying to live amongst all of us humans.
I feel so sorry for the mom 🥺 her face is just like "what I'm gonna do now??" 🥺😭
I just commented the same. Now they are evicted, they don't have a home. Where she gonna keep them warm and safe? These people think they did something good but actually they did bad.
Bruh it’s his house 😂
They literally have fur, they are not humans lol they can handle the cold. They would've further destroyed that person's house and believe me a raccoon would not take kindly to a person encroaching on their living space either.
The same folks complaining about the “poor raccoons” probably eat meat so I don’t wanna hear it 😂
Even if she was a welcome guest the fibreglass in the attic is bad for their lungs 😢 i would let them stay myself if it wasnt harmful for them
Honestly, I love the way you reunite the babies with their mothers. If I lived in the area you work, I would not hesitate to call you for help. Thanks for the wonderful videos, and for taking the time to keep the families together. God bless you!
Terrible thing to get evicted when you have newborns but at least bc of ppl who care she has her babies safe and sound. Beautifully done,❤
Whenever I feel I am about to lose hope for this increasingly dysfunctional world your kind, compassionate and expert rescues of these little animals renews my faith in humanity. Yes, it's a job, but it is obviously so much more. Thank you so much. 😻
Thank you to Gates Wildlife Control for your support, love and compassion for the animals; we must live all together in harmony.
You are Awesome, I only wish more people would think the way You Do!!!! What a wonderful world it would be. Be well.

I am so glad how you handled momma and her babies with such delicate care. Thank you.
Great job removing them all safely and allowing mama to retrieve her babies. Thank you for the special loving care and concern for them all and helping the homeowner with little damage to their home. I too had a wildlife problem under my house. A wildlife expert safely and humanely remove my critters and set them free elsewhere.
What a relief, toward the end I got really worried that the Mama didn't get the last one, but thank God she did come back and get it!!! Thank you for keeping her warm in the baby box!! You are so kind and thoughtful!! God bless you for taking excellent care of them all. Thank you for all your hard work saving Animals !!! You are Earth Angels !!!! God loves you for doing what you're doing, saving His creatures that He created for people to live n care for, not harm or kill.
Evicting a mother with her young children! Why I'd NEVER! Seriously, though you guys do awesome work. The fact that she was able to collect them so quickly is a testament to how well you do your job.
💯agree🤝🤝
Wish they would have just waited until the babies could leave on their own.
@@Rabbitsarewonderful Then that would be their permanent home. The homeowner didn’t want that.
@@alvaroakatico9188 No, raccoons would move on after weaning -- first together, and then they would disperse. At that time, everything could be cleaned, reinforced and re-sealed.
@John Smith The difference is that we humans, being at the apex of evolution, are capable of compassion. Therefore, we can inconvenience ourselves for a higher purpose -- the well being of another.
Awe poor mama i bet she was stressed like give me my freaking babies you better not touch them or hurt them or iam gonna hurt you Such a good mama.
Yeah, I was almost in tears when she was watching them from the roof and just trembling, so worried about her babies.

Look out the window as the biosphere collapses. Wait & see what happens in 30 years from now. 2050. Maybe you & humanity are the "bastards" since you seem to reflect that truth into these great souls. If you don't live vegan & live morally & see other sentient beings no morally different from us, you will perish. Yes, they are not human, they are far better than humans. Much better. They live morally. We don't. Proof? the biosphere collapse for one. Find out what's wrong with you by trying to tell me other beings are of less importance by visiting Climate Psychology Alliance. Who on earth told you humans are superior to raccoons? I never heard of such nonsense.
Nicole K. When raccoons take up residency in your ceilings they poop and pee in there which causes all kinds of health issues. Eventually it seeps through the ceilings and can cause respiratory issues in humans. I understand you being concerned about the raccoon and babies. I am an animal lover myself.
@@jenniferwhitehead4972 Thanks for the info we don't have raccoons where I live.
What a beautiful mother! Thank you for doing this so kindly and so professionally.
What was so kind about it? What a stupid comment! You have no idea the fate awaiting those fragil babies. Did the mother really find a safe place with now four new borns in her care? As far as we know they may have been eaten by dogs or some evil cat. It takes time to find a safe place for four new born babies. Do you believe it can be done with the snap of a finger? These people should go to jail for what they did!
Great job! How kind both of you are to the animals. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Loved it!
I miss the Walmart raccoons not far from where I live you could feed wild raccoons by hand and they would come up and take it from you. The bread lady got scared and threw a loaf of bread at them one of them picked it up and walked away with the whole loaf in his front arms walking on his hind legs.
A smart mom! Why would anyone throw bread at a raccoon?
You are going to laugh out loud to this raccoon thief then. It makes me laugh every time I watch it!

@@JSkyGemini Thank you for sharing this,it was well worth it! 🤗💕

I just love this story!
I've never seen a wildlife relocation company allow the animals to stay in their native range. Kudos to you!
I've never seen a wildlife relocation company. I live in Illinois and one day I applied for a company that had a name something along the lines of "Super happy fun time lovey dovey animal services."
I worked there for 2 weeks and never encountered anything besides bugs, mice or rats. One day we get called out to a house where there was a mother raccoon and her babies in the attic/rafters of a fully finished heated garage. Before we started doing anything like capturing them I asked my coworker what would become of them once we have them. I nonchalantly asked in front of the customer. I didn't think anything of it because the whole interview they kept blowing smoke up my ass about how the most important qualities they are looking for in a tech is compassion and how this is a job STRICTLY for animal lovers and went to great lengths to avoid bringing up killing the animals. Anyways, he had no choice but to tell us and he explained that Illinois law requires the animals be euthanized. The woman and I were horrified. My coworker was furious with me, almost irrationally so. He was so giddy on the way to the job I swear it was like he was really looking forward to it. I recall thinking how odd it was to see him like that because he was normally extremely monotonous in overall vibe up until that point. I quit on the spot and she refused the service.
She and I stayed in contact and after a few weeks the raccoons were gone on their own and she paid me to clean out the area and animal-proof her home. Years later she hasn't had any issues.
I understand that there are laws for a reason, though I may disagree with them. If they had just been upfront with me I would never have agreed to work there and it would have never gone that far. The funniest part was when the person who interviewed me called me later that day to tell me I was fired, I laughed and mentioned that's great because I quit on the spot when I learned they murdered all the animals. Like a scene in a movie they had a meltdown over the phone and said that they're the boss and I'm not allowed to quit so I'm fired. Seriously psychotic people. Glad I noped out that bitch.
The next neighbor's problem keeps the 💰 rolling
This isn't a relocation. They just removed them from the house, they'll be back. The house has atleast 3 other holes in the roof made by raccoons. They need to be moved hours away or killed to stop them from coming back.
@@maquesim4296 so your co worker was happy to go kill a living being? That’s sick
@@snoopdogg2912 Agreed, except the killing. They need to be relocated.
Wow...Great Job. Love seeing you take such good care of the animals.
Thank you for helping these innocent and helpless animals. Thank you a million times.
God bless this mother ❤who was just trying to make a home for her children🐾 she used the ladder and handle the situation with elegant and Grace and maybe even some gratitude she was not aggressive in any manner blessings to the man who handled the situation respect and human decency🙏
This made me very happy. I’ve never seen a baby raccoon before & I’m glad they all got rescued & relocated safely
I was nervous that you were going to hit the babies with the saw at first, but the saw didn't go in too deep, and they were fine ......Good Job, nice how there was a heated box for babies !
That was just amazing. You two did great not getting human scent on them and making it easy for her to find and receive her babies. Beautiful results! WTG
Just found your channel. You have a new fan 😃💯👍🏾🔥
Well as an animal lover, I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤ for helping them, 👍💜🙋
I am feel 😭 poor raccoons family 😭 they don't have a warm home. This mommy is a special 💓
Me too. I am beyond obsessed with all animals.
I like all animals.... but racoons thats another story. Alls good with anyanimal till they start destroying my property.
I agree . the home owner could have just waited a few weeks til.the babies were bigger before removing them all. Boo!!
@@chickensfloat7427 liking something means liking it for what it is, not for what you'd like them to do or stop doing. Someone that loves animals in general doesn't go the way you went in a vídeo about a mother sheltering her babies
That poor raccoon mom, evicted in midday, when people freak out seeing raccoons, right up against a busy road (you can see cars passing thru the fence). Hope her 2nd den was safer, but that area doesn't look like it has much to offer wildlife - hardly any big old trees that would have hollows.
Yeah, they should’ve waited till around 6:30 PM. That would’ve made all the difference in the world.
What an awesome video. Nice work and great job documenting it for us to see! 👏 👏 👏
Excellent recovery! I wonder if an endoscope for viewing tight spaces would be helpful to you as they can also be fixed with a camera. Y’all are terrific! So glad to find your site. Thank You.😁🐾🐾
Thank you guys for always being so humane with the animals .
Raccoon Nation appreciates and wants to give a shoutout to all you hard working single Mama Raccoons 😍💕🦝
Them Mama Racoon are Fierce they don't back down they don't care they won't leave their side until they know what's going on and start taking them asap ..I must admit I feel bad when they got this nice safe warm den and then they get Evicted hoping they all have that alternative den site..and I love how this company makes sure tge moms safely get all the babies back ❤ 💕 💗 💖 💜 💙 ❤ 💕 💗 💖 💜 💙 ❤
They are kinda a pain in the ass.
@@yooperlite well we have encroached on the land that all wild animals have lived long before us humans ... they are just trying to survive!! They have every right to live as much as humans.
@@georginabastien49 Well said, we can coexist in this beautiful planet. Well done guys at Gates, always make sure Mama animal gets their babies. 🙏👍💕
“Shout out to all you Hard-working single Mama Raccoons” Awesomeness 💕💕
So my nice to see such kindness for wildlife, makes me cry. Thank you 🥲
You’re terrific - enjoyed every second! Blessings!
Hello Linda, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
They are so adorable, poor mama, she was so worried. Thank you for handling them with such care❤ I hope she finds a good new home.
I don’t think I have ever seen anything on UA-cam as “feel good” satisfying as this... thank you
UK Wildlife Aid is worth watching too-
Yes I agree!
I only wish some people have this love for their own children.
Such a good Mom . I hope the littlest one makes it. That was a awesome video. It almost brought tears to my eyes when she was on the roof trying to figure out where her sweet loves we’re going. Thanks for sharing.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐰🐰🐰🐰
I am sure your work is difficult but you make it look so easy! It's wonderful to see how humane and gentle you are. Take care!
She keeps looking at them like, I hate you. Give me my babies
What an amazing video... I could watch stuff like this all day... Im a very depressed single 34 year old who loves animals... There arent many things that bring me happiness... And some of the things I simply can't do anymore due to past injuries/age. But I have been debating on trying to find a job that works with animals or wildlife. To be able to get paid to help animals... Seems like a win win to me... Even if it isn't much money.
You still are so young. I'm sorry you feel depressed but I promise you are young enough to find so much more joy in your life. I'm 49 and I would give anything to be your age again. I know it's hard to see when you're in the midst of depression but sad times are temporary. ❤
@@LD-cx3vz I appreciate the kind words and support. Thank you. Lets do our best to enjoy the precious time we have here.
@BillsFan2024 absolutely. It WILL get better ❤️
Awww they are so tiny and so cute. The Mom is beautiful.
The racoons had had a lot of experience in that roof. That house had likely hosted multiple generations of racoons.
@Digby Dooright that’s what they sound like when they are in mating season
@Digby Dooright you' are a good person abd tolerance with Wildlife 🙏. I am feel bad 😭 raccoons family with out home 😞
@Digby Dooright so you let them live there? I'd probably do the same lol
@Digby Dooright You're a good person for allowing them to stay , this animal removal business does a good job removing them but what happens after , they wash their hands from it. Like they did a good deed by giving the babies back to the mother but now where is she suppose to go that's as good as the home they were evicted from. Let us take your lands and build our houses on it, then if they find them in that house for whatever reason then they need to get the heck out all the babies and mother , go elsewhere and fend for yourselves, we wash our hands of whatever happens After they're removed. That attic didn't even have an entrance hence why they had to cut into the ceiling , that section of the room was empty , was it that much of a nuisance to hear some raccoon noises that it was all of a sudden a must to cut into it and remove them like a cancer? No heart with some people.
@@identifyyourself5684 the raccoons cause damage to the house itself and are a fire hazard, and I mean what you say about taking up space from other species well... that’s just life dude. Trust me I love raccoons as much as the next person, I really do, but if it comes to humans having a home and raccoons obviously I’m going to support humans. Especially when there’s already plenty of homeless humans. And if raccoons are causing danger to a human home and subsequently to themselves then yes they should find somewhere else. It’s cruel but that’s nature
Oh she is such a cutie. The worry in her eyes when her babies were taken away....so looks like she just gave birth. Where would she take all her babies? I hope she found a safe warm home. Ugh....
What kind hearted ppl you are. What a rewarding job😊❤
Kiddos to this company for caring so much. Your awesome!
Good job, guys. Baby racoons are all safe and back to their mom. Thanks for your love for animals.
