Woman calls police as her house surrounded by 100 racoons who demand food
(Web Desk) - A woman was forced to flee her home after 50 to 100 raccoons surrounded it and demanded food - hounding her day and night.
She told officials in Poulsbo, in the US state of Washington, she started feeding a family of raccoons decades ago.
That seemed harmless until the number showing up at her property rose from a handful to dozens - with some scratching at her front door and at her car.
Some of those who turned up were aggressive, said Kevin McCarty, a spokesperson for Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.
Footage from the sheriff's office showed between 50 to around 100 raccoons milling around trees outside the woman's home.
"She said those raccoons were becoming increasingly more aggressive, demanding food, that they would hound her day and night - scratching at the outside of her home, at the door," said Mr McCarty.
