My grandpa had a pet racoon way back in the day. He said it was a good pet except it was incapable of managing its mischief and tearing stuff up to see if anything good was inside.
I was friends with a young raccoon that was being rehabbed by a family friend. The lil dude was already imprinted on people so he couldn’t be released into the wild. He and I could match each other’s energy and we’d get into so much trouble together. Then he grew up and got fat and lazy. I was very disappointed because he was no longer an agent of chaos and I was.
raccoons make great friends but terrible pets. their shit is full of pathogens harmful to humans. smart compared to skunks, same story. adorable friends, destructive little ninjas when you’re not paying attention.
