5:45 Mom raccoon: “wave bye bye to the annoying humans” Baby raccoon: 👋
Lmao it dead ass waved
this comment is gold
Right! I caught that right away to! Had to see if anyone else did ha ha
Dang the music in the vid is super annoying 🙄
@@sk8ercaligirl innit
Every year I get raccoons having babies in my barn. I can tell because the chickens eggs keep disappearing the coonies needing extra food. As long as they don't bother the chickens I just leave them alone Last year the momma came out with 6 little ones, they are so cute! So far this momma seems well behaved and not destroying things so I just let her be. It's a tough world out there.
exactly, that's how I feel, probably how a lot of people would feel if they knew, like you do, how to share space with creatures who don't know to think about things the way humans do. Humans often feel that the animals are encroaching on our property, when the animals just feel that the area is open to everyone looking for a home, a safe place to bring up babies. As long as they have enough food that they don't have to fight for, they're more likely to leave the chickens alone. Raccoons prefer food that doesn't fight back, if they can get it. I love your attitude!
Sois benie.
Wheen Mist Thank you for that!
Thank you for thinking that way. It bothered me that the one place would not let the babies stay in the window well for just a few hours. Mom has to go in search out a new den. (A den most likely taken by another mother.) Maybe someone else window or garage. I did not see they were causing much damage to begin with. We encroached on their homes, the least we can do it let them have the babies and grow to move on. Last early winter we had an older 3 leg raccoon living on a small branch in tree outside our back yard. In the tree all day and then the neighbors shed roof at night. She layed up there all night on the metal roof in the freezing rain. No shelter. She was not even motivated to go away or look for food. I contacted a wildlife rescue and i was told she was probably kicked out of her den and had no place. They were going to come for her the next day. Except my neighbor caught her on the roof and were not happy i had been giving her food and chased her away. I never saw her again. Why do people have to be so cruel to wild life? Especially ones that are disabled.
Wheen Mist ..... You are an Awesome Human for letting her stay safe there. God Bless.
I have a female ground squirrel who lives under my shed in the backyard, every year she has a litter, last year she had 6 and they were so darn cute!! They lay out and sunbathe on my patio, I'll leave veggies and fruits out for them and watch them much from a safe distance...if I go out in the yard they generally dont run off or even move much. I love seeing them every year.
- Squirrels love nuts. We're outside hand feeding them now. I have some videos on my channel hand feeding them. I'll post more in the near future. Stay tuned 😉 ❤
Every year a mama possum has her babies in my yard and I am thrilled. They don't stay too long, but they are always welcome.
BLESS
God bless you.
Those people on the second place not letting her stay so she could move them at night...smh!!! But hey pictures are so important...
Thank you! I wish people wouldn't look at them as an inconvenience. They're just trying to survive....
God bless you 😍
This year put extra food! A Welcome mat and even Champagne! Wait till they all go to sleep then you grab the Machete go up to them and scream "you've just been... TERMINATED!" START CHOPING HEADS then you'll have mitts to give to the Cherokee! Tails for the Pawnee ( they pay good snails for those) rotten toungues for bigfoot and even Entrails for Chupacabras!! 👍 You'll do your Country proud boy!!
I always feel so bad for mom she is trying to keep her babies safe and I would think her watching them being moved must be scary for her.
I agree ,she was very worried for sure !Stay safe during this corona virus pandemic and lockdowns. 💜💜💜💜🥁🐉🎵🎤🎶💕💞💖
I’m feeling sorry for the dad
Two times no less!
Some people SMH. How hard was it to allow the mother to stay with the babies? Some people are so intolerant of other creatures.
@@sk8ercaligirl The problem here was how aggressive the Mother was and they , Gates wildlife, had take into account the risk of people getting hurt.
I am glad that they take their job seriously and kept track of where the mother was going and making the mother move on from the second location was the best solution which prevented further problems.
At least give her two weeks eviction notice so she can find another place.
Lmao
Evicting babies!
😫
Mother racoons are smart. They usually always have a second den built. Exactly for this reason
@@billygoat7094 i heard the guys say the mom usually has two or three spots she has already located in case she needs to move them. That made me feel a lot better 🥰.
She likes it’s Saturday morning an y’all got me moving my babies all over the neighborhood 🤣 😂😂😂
Our home growing up had a river and woods close by. We had rabbits make a home under our picnic table one winter and a duck nested under our shrub with her babies. We were lucky to watch wild life so close. If you’re able to just let them be, your reward is so wonderful.
We're all just trying to survive in this crazy world.
Mr T 🆘 what about them who put heads on plaques ✅
Exactly
:)
You really can't fault momma's logic. It's warm and dry. Thick secure walls, and plenty of food nearby.
Philosophical
I thought there was a moratorium on evictions during the pandemic.
Nice ur absolutely right. They didn't take them to the woods cause they wanna get another removal job. I have half a mind to look up their phone number and bitch them out. Keep loving all animals . god bless u.
Really😒
Wow that is Funny! GOP dont give a damn. Especially about animals no less Human. Mnuchin evicted over 300 families in LA alone prior to appt of Sec of the Treasury as a Movie Producer of over 32 hit movies. Kirschner far more in Chicago from his slim apt complex there alone. Great video.
@@patriciaaini3481 It is illegal to trap and relocate animals over a kilometre from where they were caught in Ontario. This is a humane removal method which allows the animals to find a new place to live on their own accord.
@@waywardlaser wow, that's brilliant. Really gives them a chance. I wish the U.S. had laws like that - but, as someone else pointed out here, we don't give a damn about ANYONE'S suffering. (Lately especially, I'm so ashamed of my country it makes me weep. And get furious. My sister just told me a good quote she recently encountered about Canada feeling like they're living in the apartment above the meth lab...)
At about 7:05, she looked as if she was attempting to carry 2 at once😂
So cute! Mama raccoon sherpa!
I love this channel! So fun to watch!
They are excellent... they handle these raccoons & other wildlife with the greatest of care...
That raccoon's a better mama than some women I've known.
Exactly what I said
😅😅😅
I really don't know why anyone in your area would call anyone else besides you to remove these precious creatures. You know them so well, and you treat them respectfully and humanely, you're helpful with the humans who live there, and you're really good with the work you do. When I see that someone has contacted one of your competitors, the "work" they did is consistently horrible. I've watched a few videos of other wildlife removal people in your area, and the difference is huge. They're awful compared to you, they clearly don't know about the animals or care about them, just view them as pests. It's really obvious that you've studied and cared for these animals for many years, and that you care about them. If I lived in Canada, you're the only one I'd call.
Yeah we build on their natural habitat and then want them gone. I leave all animals alone and I see opossum and raccoons quite frequently in my backyard. My wife freaks out and I tell her they have just the same right to life as you and that stops her in her tracks. I love all animals to be honest I feed the birds and squirrels 🐿 in my back yard it’s nice seeing them and they surely love seeing me lol. Everyone stay safe and healthy.
my sentiments exactly
You have that exactly right. What rights do we really have to take over their natural habitat and their food sources and then kill them when they they go after our chickens or goats or even cows. Humans seem to make their own problems and make problems for others.
@@rachaelabbott845 I’d be thrilled to see mamma raccoon pull the veins out of mister abatement man’s neck.
If you can pull it off safely, why not?
But people who want or need an environment relatively free of animals t in their home or yard should not be condemned. We're hardwired to be wary of certain wildlife.
@@rachaelabbott845 Every square inch on earth is natural habitat for some animal or insect. The land under your city one-bedroom is no less a (former) habitat than Yellowstone. Wolves in the mountains will run off coyotes from huge territories and then hunt elk until they're extinct. Why do you think there are raccoons in a 30 year old suburban neighborhood? They weren't thrown out of the area. They're attracted to it from places like woodlands because it's easier to survive there.
She is a wonderful mother - living in the wrong neighborhood!
Moral of the story. Don't keep TV boxes from 1992
see how wet the box is? That pee
@@lovitz69 They're alive not stuffed animals. They don't have diapers for raccoons :)
@@ellamone9998 darn I thought they did
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks more like a late 90’s early 2000’s tv. I bought the same tv but sized 32 inch in the summer of 99.
We took all her wild life space
Makes me sad, honestly. Every time I see another suburban neighborhood being built, I feel sad, knowing that a little more of nature has been destroyed and homes for animals have been removed.
Not necessarily a problem since there are still plenty of places for them to live and thrive. Actually the suburban environment is way less harsh than way out in the woods. They don't have to work nearly as hard for plenty of good food. Don't feel sorry for them. They like our hoods just fine!
@@kristenmarie2050 until animal control has to capture and euthanize them or relocate them.
Racoons are doing simply fine - they are in fact thriving in suburban and urban spaces. You can find a documentary here on RUclips about racoons that live in Toronto (I think that is the city, might be another Canadian city) - they have that entire city mapped out (the racoons I mean) in terms of territory and in some ways a wild-setting the same size would support fewer of them (humans have lots of trash and gardens and other things they most definitely enjoy).
Kristen Marie you’re an idiot. Traffic poses a huge threat and disgruntled home owners. Raccoons practically have no natural predators EXCEPT humans now.
When I was a university student, I shared this very old large house with other students. One night we heard this huge racket coming from the basement, it was a fully grown racoon that managed to get in, but couldn't get out. And this was one ferocious racoon. When the animal welfare and rescue arrived, even they were taken aback by it's ferocity. They ended up having to shoot a dart filled with a tranquilizer before they could approach it. They may look very cute, but don't get close to them.
That coon was an exception... They're mostly chill........ Mostly😐
he was aggressive because he may have been hungry? who knows how long he was in there without food
@@eerstenkeer1591 I don't think it had been there a very long time as we would have heard it. We had a washer and dryer in the basement, so we were down there quite often.
Sounds a little like rabies? Raccoons have it often.
I love that you keep the family intact and let the mommas do their thing naturally ❤️
We have racoons/skunks that live/sleep under our house, they move around but I know they like coming around to steal our outside cats food during the night I find them very adorble when they eat with their little hands. So sad that mommy was stressed out to find a new safe home for her babies!
You say “BOLD MOTHER”......Ask any MOTHER!!, THOSE ARE HER BABIES!!! BOLD MOTHER IS NATURAL. SO CUTE!
God Bless “All Mother’s ” 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾🐾🐾💚💚💚

They do lots of damage. This is the most satisfying eviction ive seen
@@chickensfloat7427 That's bc your a evil powder faced caveman!
@@Coco-xw3wp you wouldn't understand unless you spent 4 years fixing a abandoned house and dropping 4 ceilings 3 of which were raccon infested
@@Coco-xw3wp wasnt just 1 racoon either. They neibors said the guys got 22 RACCOONS OUT AND TRAPPED ANOTHER 4. We also found 1 dead remains in the kitchen ceiling. This wasnt just a month or 2 with the raccoons in the house it was 7 years this house was abandoned so who knows how long those pesky lil guys were in here for. When the place was abandoned the owner still making payments on the place left everything (she was also a hoarder) so id imagine all that had 💩 all over it, they even raided the pantery and fridge left with old rotting food (house had no power heat and pipes burst). We didnt know there were raccoons it till after we bought it. Needless to say 4 years later we got her fixed up, practically new interior and new plumbing, even new beams under the house cause some rotted away and the house was caving in
@@Coco-xw3wp 2 whole trailer loads of bags of raccon poop. Even more loads of poopy drywall, and lathe and plaster. And to get the crap out of the ceiling you have to knock out the dry wall, well guess what falls down in your face when you do so. This isnt just 1 single turd like your dog makes on the carpet. This is straight up 2 foot wide latrines years of shit giving you a shower in your tyvec suit. It was summer 100 + degrees did it mention?
That's mean! We have a family of Raccoon's that live under our shed. That's where they have their babies every spring. They didn't hurt any thing so we just left them.
Good for u
❤
That's great we have a shed where a cat keep having her babies there every summer and we dont bother them hell I had to rescue a couple of the kittens and plus they keep the rodents away so its a win win situation 🤗
The poop and the fleas didn't bother you at all? I guess you can get used to anything if you live with it long enough. Personally I can't take the smell of racoon urine and the wife gets eaten up by the fleas....but yeah...other than THAT...they're really cute!
No harm, no foul. Unless they are damaging your property, why not leave them be. Raccoons do not poop and pee where they live. They themselves don't like the smell.
This is so sad. We’ve built everything up so much that they’ve got nowhere to go. It’s a shame I would’ve let her stay where she was. She’s working so hard to protect her babies. 🦝🐾
Yeah she's relocating her babies alright. Right into the next yard and your next job.
Just what I was going to say 😂
Well technically its not their problem, wildlife control got rid of the racoons and that's all he is paid to do 🤷♂️maybe they should've hired a real estate agent aswell
Lol ok
He waved when he crossd over the fence
Hahahaha 😂🤣🤣😂😅, you got that right!
It's amazing how many animals treat their BABIES better than humans do
It’s mighty brazen for you to admit that you treat YOUR BABIES so badly. You could be arrested for admitting that publicly! You said “they treat their babies better than humans do”……that means all humans. Unless the raccoon is typing a comment here about your terrible parenting then saying “better than humans do” is referring to all humans, starting with yourself.
@l.roberson5508 omg this is hysterical🤣🤣🤣🤣...thanks for the laugh...
Oh how sad their habitat has been invaded! I do appreciate you guys caring for them.she won't leave her babies!! They should just let her do what she needs to!
This is really sad... I feel for the poor raccoon mummy. She's just trying to raise her little family... This is their planet too.
Daniela Martins suck it up princess this is the real world, where humans are the dominant species. If the roles were reversed and by some miracle raccoons became as intelligent as humans, they wouldn’t think a second before killing us. Going by your logic we shouldn’t kill ants in our homes eating our food because we all own the earth and we’re all equal, but you wouldn’t think a second before subjecting it to the cold hypocritical heel of your boot
Joshua Dibble facts
@@60_Inca right on! Go humans😎
@hjki hd If for some reason I owned a barn, why in hell would i waste it by giving it to animals like racoons. if i had a barn, I would use it for: keeping cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens etc, I would keep farm equipment like tractors, or I could simply store anything i needed in it. At no point during my owning of this barn would i ever consider letting a bloody racoon live in it. Being an Australian, we don't have racoons, but we do have birds; most of which who love to shit on our cars. And not to mention the Kangaroo's, who love to run into our school campus and scare the school shitless. But wait we should have just let the Kangaroo live in the school; it's completely harmless and definitely can't kill and adult male with its legs alone. We should have just let all the wildlife live with us in our own backyards, because we all own the earth. We all own the Earth, so that bird won't mind if i live in its nest. if it can live in my roof, i can live in its home. We should all stop killing animals and set them all free, so they can be brutally torn apart with no mercy and be slowly eaten alive by another predator; because that's got to be better than a humane death after a life of free food and shelter given by humans.
@@yehoshua7552 you sound like a psychopath.
The homeowners are so funny “aww so cute”. But they can’t live here. It’s the same, anywhere but my house in most cases.
@Joe Mama Not if they can't let the same "cute" animals stay on their yard for few hours until it gets dark and the mom takes them elsewhere.
Might have dogs or cats that could hurt them.
They could have pets or children. Cute as they are they’re till wild animals and mothers are protective of their babies

It's implied that he did, though. The guy came around back and mentioned things as if they'd already spoken. Either way, it's not confirmed he did or didn't, so why jump to conclusions?
Besides, I HIGHLY doubt he just jumped back there purely from a professional standpoint and liability if he, or someone else, gets hurt. That's just asking for problems. Grow a brain before commenting nonsense.
@@ElysetheEevee "Either way, it's not confirmed he did or didn't, and theres no evidence he did so why did I jump to conclusions?"

"I should grow a brain before commenting nonsense."
well if you did the comment wouldnt exist as you would be smart enuff to relaise your sentences just contradicted what you claimed the sentence before! While this could be a memory problem its much worse than that its a logical failure to realise you just did that! Crying about the thing you just did OH THE IRONY! 🤦♂🤣
She is a real mom. Protector. Such a shame people are ignorant. Thanks for being kind.
She is beautiful! I imagine she's not thrilled with all of the social distancing human beings at home all day long! Can't a mother relocate her babies in peace? ;-)
She’s not beautiful. Raccoons are absolute vermin, in the same category as rats and cockroaches. All this coddling has created the terrible urban infestations we are dealing with in cities across North America. These creatures need to be put down - humanely, of course. Not relocated.
Maybe have a talk with God as to why he created them then huh?
You are a gentle person below is a wolf! She should be infested with them instead of raccoons we’ll stick with the raccoons !😝😜🤪Red what I replied to her! It’s a pretty good kicker{[ “(Maybe have a talk with God as to why he created them then huh?”)]}

It really gets me where some monsters hearts and heads are. How CAN one want to hurt or kill a beautiful creature as a coon just because she's trying to take care of her own babies? You're a sad person. I feel really sorry for you to be so full of hate. That's really not a good way to live. Life's way to short to be full of so much hate. God bless you. I pray you have a change of heart ❤.
I've been an animal rehaber for decades, and have cared for several raccoons before returning them to the woods. I appreciate the pro-raccoon sentiments posted here, but there are some serious issues to be considered.
1. One is that raccoons can be carriers of rabies. You don't have to be bitten. Just a scratch from one or getting saliva from them deposited in a little cut on your hand can do it. When they scavage for food, they can drool and leave saliva on things.
2. Raccoons usually use a communal toilet, which is a major health risk for humans who may live in the vicinity. They carry viruses, bacteria, and parasites which are deadly and can be transmitted to man. Pets unknowingly can walk thru it and bring it into the house.
3. Raccoons usually carry Baylisascaris procyonis, an intestinal roundworm whose larvae enters the bloodstream (Visceral Larval Migrans), travels to the eyes and the brain, and is the cause of fatal central nervous system disease in mammals. It can be transmitted to cats and dogs, as well as people, and cannot be treated. The entire time in captivity, raccoons being rehabbed must regularly be given a particular de-wormer so that they can be safely handled.
4. They can carry Giardi, a protozoan that is in raccoon feces and deposited in soil, water, and other surfaces. Kids and gardeners are more likely to contract it for obvious reasons.
Bottom line: While raccoons are cute and appealing, it must be remembered that they are a wild animal, with a natural fear of humans, and should not be approached. They can be very harmful to humans if they are living in close proximity to them. People should NEVER handle raccoons or their waste without protection and appropriate training.
Yes, well, I'd argue that WE are much more harmful to them. What do you propose then since us humans have stolen the land from just about every other species?
Seems to me this comment is from the owner of wildlife control and not a professional rehabber trying to convince people to call us to come and relocate raccoons for you as they would pose great danger to you and your health ! 😉
@@capicuaaa I mean, if you'd like to experience rabies, go right ahead and then tell me that's not more harmful. There are places raccoons can live, but not someone's house. People don't realize you shouldn't want to be near these animals- it's simply unhealthy.
Unless you plan on exterminating every raccoon in the area, that's really a moot point.
I cannot understand for the life of me why that homeowner refused to be patient for 24hrs, allowing time for the mother to relocate her babies?!? We've left wild animals very few places to live & this relocation is very stressful for the bunch. If we cannot coexist, the least we can do is have a little patience 🙄
Yes they were there for thousands of years before we humans arrived and tore up their habitat, so lets be a little patient and try to co-exist.
Agree💯💯💯💯
I mean it's there space we've come into and taken. But did you hear the old bitch saying let me see let me have a picture... Of the babys lord...
@@maxb4074 they thrive way better around humans and all the trash, they are very nasty with toxic feces that can kill you, no co-existing cuz you will get sick or die not to mention the thousands in damage they will do to your residence very quickly, and also there populations are exploding because we dont buy them for furs anymore

momma wasn’t having it...y’all about to catch paws and a jaw messing with her babies. They are adorable!
They are the best moms. A piece of me died seeing a mother raccoon dying in the road screaming for her babies who hid in the brush watching helplessly several years ago. I tried to catch them but they were old enough to outrun me. Right now I have a baby raccoon as I look for a rescue after finding him in the road yesterday hit by a car (but not gravely injured MIRACULOUSLY).
Poor mama 🦝 this is so beautiful to watch and see that she left not one baby behind ♥️ if it was me I would’ve let them stay, I love animals, as long as they don’t call a whole bunch of each other lol.
It hurt my heart to see her moving her babies out of nowhere where she don’t know yet, just because she’s not allowed where she was 😞💔 I hope she and her babies are doing good 😢
Why didn't you just set up a temporary home in the yard some sort of a Crate... Until the babies were old enough to move on their own... Now it seems likely she's just gonna get into some other area Where shes not Wanted
Seems like there should have been communication throughout the neighborhood beforehand so that all the neighbors could go through and close up all access points.
It’s not up to them. After all It’s not like it’s their home to make that decision. If the home owners don’t want them there then they have to get them out.

This makes me so sad because of us (humans) she has no place to go. 😥
Us humans have the mercy to not destroy these things altogether. There is a depth of compassion in this world and it exists almost entirely in humanity-we’ve earned this power over all the world by choosing against ourselves... by not abusing it too far (yet).
These creatures on the other hand are still comparatively immature on the evolutionary spectrum-they are not things with any capacity to return the same regard for us nor eachother. And if it were up to them (if it was in their power), they would just displace us altogether, steal our homes, terminate us and our threat of coexistence, and continue to feel just as much need to protect their territory as we do.
I understand if you are frustrated with this reality; but for that you must wave your fist at your creator-or at nature-than humanity. I forewarn however. that this would come to no avail.
The other route; cursing humanity and idealizing a reversion back to the primitive where there is “room for nature” is becoming dangerous discourse these days. Because to some, there is one way of getting such an end across: human depopulation.
Looking at my map of Canada, I see lots of woodland. I think the issue is that raccoons come to the human areas because it's easier to get food and I guess the lure of warmer dens is strong
@@2c2bpolitics-ce-gate3-4 This is a fantastic take!! Nice to see a more adult perspective on things. Thank you.
@Rob DaFrog That's silly and untrue.
@Rob DaFrog The secret to life is to strive for balance,patience and wisdom, qualities that are evident in Mr Gates, and what what I see as lacking in your approach. The neighbor's initial request to remove the raccoon babies was entirely understandable. Not only are humans unused to dealing with raccoons, racoons cause damage for homeowners. It is natural to have the same animal instincts to protect as do animals themselves. Once Gates explained what he was doing, the neighbor's tone completely softened.
Your hate for humanity is a tragedy, and again unbalanced, unwise and impatient. And your view of animals is an idealization. Animals are beings without guile and also without mercy. The human/animal life of complete harmony that you may long for is impossible in a modern world and should not be desired, because the pre-modern works was full of unnecessary cruelties for humans.
I absolutely think we should be thoughtful and kind in planning human habitation so as to create the least possible intrusion into the environments of animal life. But I don't regret for a moment the growth of human life on the planet. Cutting down rain forest so that we have more luxury goods is evil. Clearing a rain forest for human habitation is holy.
Can you imagine the stress she is going through?
😢
I wondered about that, too. Just replace the carton with the box, wait until she is in with her babies, close the lid and take her to a place in the neighbourhood that doesn't mind them.
Why couldnt the owner of the first place let them stay. They were already 21 days old. They would not have been there much longer.
NOT TRUE THEY WILL GET IN THE HOUSE AND THEN IT IS MUCH HARDER TO GEY THEM OUT. THEY WANT TO STAY IN THE HOUSE USUALLY UP UNDER THE ROOF.
Some animal rescuers take them to a far away woods then they don't try to go back.
Elvira Donaghy you probably saw that in the animated movie open season. Which doesn’t count.
Mallory sorry, but they are incredibly destructive and will come back yearly. Not only do they chew on electric wires but have fleas which you can get. They poop and pee on everything, marking their territory. You will get large colonies, but if you move them when babies the Moms are less likely to come back
@Mallory Not so .
I happen to know matter a factly.
Feel bad for her. She has to do so much work because of human settlements everywhere and peoples inconveniences although its ironic how the settlements are the primary homes for these raccoons
Yes, they are very adaptable, thank God!
@Going My Own Way ! Its not a problem if people seal up entrances around their house and shed.
They would WAY rather nest in a house than the wild. Less predators and easy food
It's not ironic, it's their nature now. Humans have given these raccoons life and home, and while we would never go so far as to own and lord over them, we reserve the right to move them as we please
It looked like the baby waved goodbye on the fence!😂 Your dad is so patient and kind to the animals and showing all the neighbors!❤
Animals are more smarter than humans give them credit for. Their love is strong and powerful.
Where did you think she was going to go in the middle of the day. Fancy putting her through stress of relocating several times. So you move the problem from point A to point B.
Yes I thought that was unnecessary stress for the Mama and babies, still don’t get their logic.
Poor mom, she needs to be relocated to a more remote place because the neighbors are going to keep complaining!
@@kimc9023 moms have babies (on purpose) in more than one location - so if they relocated her - they need to find all of her babies or some will die from neglect.
It seems sadistic to watch her move one baby at a time then go get all of them and put them back in that same box. Pointless and sadistic
its a racoon, not a human - does it have emotions? yes, but this is some human with lasting mental damage. They have to remove the racoons, sometimes the mom will take them all to a different nest, and sometimes this happens. It works out in the end and that is all that matters. Go be babies and morons somewhere else.
I would have left the babies right there in the window well. That was a great hiding spot.
Just stop they would not survive
That’s was so cute when the they climbed the gate, it seemed like the baby looked up and waved at us
Okay, I've seen a lot of people argue in the comments about "How stupid, they'd just go to the neighbours of course" or "Why forcing the mother to find another hideout, it's cruel", so I'll clarify some points :
-First, the part about "relocating" in the neighbours was just a temporary step : the main concern when animals move their youngs to another hideout (and it happens A LOT in the wild so it's completely natural for them to do so) is predation. The mother didn't trust the box, full of human scent, thus she moved the babies to a place where they'd be safe from predators until she can relocate them, probably because her secondary nest was far from there.
-Second : As I mentioned, just like squirrels, racoons don't build just one nest. They prepare several hideouts within their territory in case the first one is discovered by predators. When it happens, they move their babies to one of these secondary hideouts to keep them safe, so they're not throwing them out of their only home, the racoon mother has like 2 or 3 more prepared in advance for such cases.
So calm down a bit in the comments, there was no animal cruelty performed here ^^
So sad been ran out of their environments and their homes so so sad she is a good mother though better than a lot of people
More like they like the easy food of the city
lynn Entler yes!!! I could t agree more!!!
OMG! those houses have been there for decades and Raccoons only live 5-10 years, they are not only completely acclimated to but are completely thriving because of urban environments. Are you serious?!
Tpolerex Maybe think for a second why they have become Acclimated...
@@snapdragonfly6652 so humans aren't destroying most of woodlands?
Why not just relocate the whole little family into the wild somewhere safe instead of stressing the poor mother out and making her run the babies back and forth?
😭😭😭
See comments above. Relocating can pose danger from other raccoons or starvation,the other comments said
@@CF-ei5oz exactly
@Dan Nguyen that is horrible. I really thought they could adapt. I feel awful now. But i have never had to relocate any animals so that's good.
@@peircedear What are you on about? Rounding up all of the racoons, stuffing them in a box and driving them 20 minutes down the road is way more traumatizing than simply letting them move out on their own terms. Racoons always create multiple den sites before having babies, so the mom already had a secondary home lined up.
I just don't understand why they had to put that beautiful raccoon family under so much stress?! They were not in anyone's way. Racoons are actually very shy. They would have all left the first den when they were old enough. Think people. Think!
Raccoons are prone to rabies. The family may have kids You never know why they didn’t want them in garage. Mommy raccoon can be aggressive when babies are around.
@Fìfì Fẹ́mi It doesn't have to. We invaded their territory.
@@angeliabates7438 I don't know where you live but, In Canada our racoons do not have rabies. I know for sure in British Columbia ours don't.
So cruel to kick a mother with all those babies out. In time they would have left anyway.
They urinate in that box and it gets on everything. Didn't you see how wet it is?
It’s not cruel it’s good the would not survive in thenbox
But if they want them out now, there is no other alternative. They could have called a pest control co. so this is the best alternative. They do it very well causing as little stress as possible. Yes, the best way was to wait, let them leave in the summer & seal everything up. That's the ideal, but . . .
That was ridiculous. If the window well was temporary until night time then just leave them alone. A few hours of not nude sunbathing is going to hurt what?
That's what i was thinking.
This is just disgraceful, I feel so ashamed to be human.
@@meowmeow1stgen668 At least they called a humane animal removal service, not one of those trap and kill services
@@ACO-Amy that would kill them. The mother would have no way of find food or anything. She knows the area she's in and knows where to find food. If you did that it be like if I tied you up brought you to China and left you there with one one to help you survive. No phone no nothing except the clothes you were wearing
i think that was theoriginal plan was just to let the mother do her thing but then the neighbors complained so they unfortunately had to force her away from that area as well
Thank you so much for your patience, love, understanding and compassion!! Happy Easter to you and your loved ones! Susan 🐣 🐣 🐣
Very good Mama. She is brave. I’m so glad that you don’t take them away. You do what’s necessary to reunite babies with their Mama and let her relocate. That’s the way it should always be done if possible.
Cruel people! She made a spot in unused garage! With such big yards no ones give them a shelter !
Raccoons be cute but they carry disease especially in their feces if anyone was to come in contact with.They do carry rabies yes. Also, they are nocturnal which means loud scurrying & baby calls to the mom constantly.. no sleep lol. Gates does right thing, has mom relocate in same area in which they know to find food & water yes. Loves your cute animal vlogs🌹was happy to see a new one.
Pretty sure that baby raccoon gave us a see-ya-later salute at 5:45
What an awesome raccoon momma! Work hard! Take such good care. So cute they are.
Loosing their habitat. However smart to keep this garage its warm and almost safe. Thank you for taking care not to hurt them.❤🦝🦝🦝🦝
Lady: "..and he has one open and one eye closed.."
Racoon: "I yam what I yam". (Popeye reference)
Beautiful video, the mother is so loving. How awful that humans have to destroy all the wild places that these lovely animals want to be in.
They would much rather be near us than in the wild, dont delude yourself
WTFH? That was depressing on many levels
no shit !!!
She could bring her babies to my house. Sooooooooo precious!😘
😐😐
Those babies would have been moved out in no time. Why not wait for them to be get out on they're own and then repair the garage?
I think, Gates Wildlife Control been relocated same raccoon family for the past year, from one house to another 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah if I were a neighbor I would not take kindly to that practice.
That's how they stay in business.
A logical thing to do would be to relocate them far out in no mans land.
Shhhhhhh. They're going to catch on
@@jibronigibironi8959 even better, relocate humans from land that was once theirs 😊
Poor babies. They had to suffer much stress that day. Hopefully the family is safe now.
I am totally amazed at your tenacity Mr Gates. I have watched you before saving the baby foxes. Thanks for all you do. I was totally mesmerized watching this video.
Like most animal mums ,she’s prepared to face Hugh threats ! Well done to these people for helping them .
Thank God I was born a man, ain’t tough enough to be a Moma!!! Y’all our awesome people, taking care of God’s creatures, we had a Moma withe her 4 babies under our building, we live in a rural area, she was there maybe 3 weeks, ate our cat food and was gone like she came, we called them our lil Raccoon family!
Momma sure is devoted to her brood! Thanks for the great upload! ❤❤❤
Just noticed for the first time after watching MANY, if not most, of your videos that your 'baby bag' is from Canada Post! Love It - and I bet it will be super long lasting!
Great job. Just loved seeing that mum moving her babies. Workers were so brave. They're up in the trees, in my neighborhood. Never wondered about the babies until now. Thank you.
WHAT?! I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE THEM & PUT THEM SOMEWHERE TOGETHER IN THE 1ST PLACE!!
Keeping it on mom's terms. Mom decides where her young are safe. They are after all, wild animals and they cause havoc in residential areas. They are like vandals compared to squirrels and chipmunks.
@@johnchalleen3278 Yeah, that's why I thought they were going to take them were they should be ...
debi909 and where is that exactly?
@@debi909 remember we took over their environment when they built houses and cut dwn the woods.
@@ladyo8297 Yeah That's why I felt they were binging them to a place like that. Take care :)
Nice, get payed by one home owner to remove raccoon, relocate them next door and you have another client.
Alchemist7887 : yes . $$$ . Thanks . Next yard please.
Exactly what I was thinking! Why in the world wouldn't you relocate them all to a safe non-residential area? Just let her continue to move them from house to house and continue to have humans calling to have them removed, or even worse, some loser poisons them!
@@bajacowgirl3170 Because that would be killing them. Racoons and other animals usually have 2 or more dens, if one is destroyed they have another spot to go to and stay safe. Moving them far away would certainly get them killed. Animals don't just simply adapt to new locations magically.
That is the BEST raccoon mother i have ever seen. The walk the attitude towards her young… all of it. Looked like a cat walking all slow and steady on the fence 🐈 🐈⬛
I’ve been watching these gates videos for years…how do they not have millions of followers by now!?!❤❤❤
Why can't people just leave animals alone? Why can't people just live and let live? Making animals move can endanger them in so many ways.
mssusanmarie
👏👏
Agree and we should make every effort to protect them and keep them safe when they live by us. It would improve people lives to do so and it's our duty after taking all the animals' land/homes/trees/food.
Yes why can't they move into your home and wee and crap there. Maybe growl and bite you a bit as well.
@@sjames5027 Yes, except for the fact that we stole all their land to build our houses... So the very least we can do is to learn to co-exist with other species. Haven't we taken enough from them already?...
If they are just left alone they will move on when they are ready. I would just leave them.
It seems easy. A family is under the house I live in, and it gets very noisy
They tend to stay wherever they aren't bothered to leave. Practically zero chance they were going anywhere unless forced to and if they weren't forced to move that garage would soon be knee deep in racoon shit and piss. Other than that....they sure are cute little shits....destructive as all get out but really really cute.
So adorable. Poor mommy has to start another home. A mother's work is never done!
Animals are just the greatest. The mother is so protective. So glad I watched.
Thankful for the folks who do this work.
I feel bad for her. Where’s a momma to go? Poor thing she’s frantic!
U can tell shes freaking out, trying to protect her bbys
The mother is like "I pay rent here what are you doing" 😂
I don't know who this guy is , but he is truly a earth angel. And how cool he let those people take a picture of the baby's .🤗🤗🤗🤗
Poor Mama! She was probably so annoyed with all the moving of her brood. Glad the neighbors were cool and you guys saved the day again. Stay safe and God Bless!
I grew up with them even bottle fed them. Blows my mind how cunning smart they are. Ive seen them run diversions on people to steal there bags and run up into trees. I really wouldn't worry about them guys.
5:47 baby waves, "all good, I'm with mom now."
The baby raising it's hand at like 5:43 like it's saying "bye!" lmao
