Rise in Coon population at North Gwinnett High School
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The students at North Gwinnett High have recently nodiced a rise in the coon population, read on as we investigate this growing problem. With every coming new year, the coon population at North Gwinnett High School becomes even larger. According to reports from the Animal Rights foundation, the rise in the North Gwinnett coon population can be attributed to an increasing amount of littering at and around the school. The smell of food seems to attract the coons, because they are not smart enough to get real jobs, the coons must run around searching for freebies left by students. We got another report from the FBI explaining the rise in the coon population at North Gwinnett. John White, coordinator of this project says "The coons are coming to the school in order to avoid being caught and hung by the local land owners." The citizens of Suwannee agree that the coons are becoming a growing problem and people have all ready begun setting traps to catch the coons. Officials at the Suwannee courthouse say that local veterinarians are swamped by coon injuries because of traps and shotgun wounds. Veterinarians have resorted to just putting coons to sleep with a noose because they are not worth keeping alive. One of our readers, Jimmy Marshal, has suggested putting the coons to work in cotton fields or using them as maids in you house. "They are not very smart but they seem to be able to accomplish simple tasks like picking cotton." At CNN, we believe that this is the best method to control the coon population.
