That was a big problem a few years ago, when we experienced a rabies
outbreak/scare. People, and I use that term very loosely with any
creature that will do this sort of thing indiscriminately, put out
poisened bait for raccoons. Raccoons, or any other mammal for that
matter, with rabies will ignore food. All that was accomplished was a
lot a orphaned raccoon kits and not a few dead dogs.

into some poisoned bait somewhere.
I know animal control generally only deals with domesticated animals,
pets and such. But, they might be interested in a situation like
this, just for the possibility of a rabies outbreak, or the fact that
someone in the area might be using poison.
