Galveston officials are warning visitors to refrain from feeding raccoons along the Seawall. This caution comes after a series of reported incidents involving the animals. The city has reported seven raccoon bites in a short period of two weeks.

Officials are concerned about the consequences of feeding these mammals, as it causes them to lose their natural fear of humans. Further information on this issue is available from city officials, who are urging visitors to be mindful of their interactions with wildlife in the area.
