Call animal control on the coon. They should be able to get it, if not try two other guys: Smith and Wesson.
Some of the reasons that milk has gotten so expensive are
The cost of transportation has gone up because the cost of gas has gone up.
This is likely to continue because the oil fields in the souther Gulf of Mexico have been hit by another tropical storm/huricane this week, and many other reasons too.
Another thing is that so many farmers are growing corn for "biofuel."
This is very problematic. The "greenies" have convinced us all that ethenol is a good answer to good old petrol. Well it turns out that "biofuels" puts out more pollutants than gas and if you live in the northern states, if you still have any in your gas tank when it freezes outside, you have a big problem. And in the southern states, the heat causes evaporation and water is the biproduct, which again is a big problem.
And again dedicating farm land to growing corn for fuel takes up space where we previously grew food for livestock and people. The government doesn't help by subsidising the farmers to grow certain things or not to grow certain things.
For me anyway, there is no easy answer. We each have to do what we can given what we have. To expect more is un-American. And don't listen to those socialist liberals -- driving their large SUVs and flying in private jets -- who are always spouting, "The masses should be taking public transportation, putting their heat on 65 degrees in the winter and leaving the lights off."
The money that I earn, I will spend as I see fit.
WOW! Where did that come from? Oh, yah, the price of milk.
Does chocolate milk come from chocolate cows?
Have a nice day.
