They require a ton of stimuli and attention because they're super intelligent and playful. They get bored extremely easily and will cause ton of problems around your house if they do
So unless you have a big place with a big yard and big family to always take care of them the only alternative is to keep them locked up when you don't feel like watching over them which is exceptionaly cruel, especially considering their intelligence
I adore racoons with autistic fanaticism despite living in Serbia but I'd much rather not have racoons become widespread pets knowing that most normies aren't capable or even willing to offer adequate care for pet fishes let alone bright, high-maintainance animals like racoons
That being said I'd still give my left ball to have a racoon as a pet
uh, long ago like in the 60's or 70's some cartoon about a boy and his racoon starts airing in japan. the one in this pic

they're little assholes that get into literally everything with their little hands
to be more precise.
japanese kids love it and soon they all want a raccoon pet and of course pet stores see this as a great chance and import loads of raccoons from the americas,
the last episode of that cartoon is about the boy letting the raccoon go live in the forest because keeping a wild animal as pet is bad and of course kids did the absolute same thing, and thus the american raccoon became a very hard to exterminate invasive specie with no predators that love to nest in old temples and destroy them.
they lost a lot of their habitat and the population goes in decline also thanks to the american raccoon which became a huge competitor for the same resources.

Hunters are common in Japan and the posted is accurate, lots of young women are becoming hunters as well. They mostly control deer and boar populations to the point that you can buy venison meat in regular supermarkets. Hunting raccoons is a retard take. Not only they don’t offer much value but also wouldn’t make a dent in their population. Being a small fast reproducing animal means their population can easily bounce back. Also pet legislation can be much harsher than people think. Stuff that is commonly available in US like glofish is illegal in Japan.

The name of the artist is right on the fucking poster.
>the last episode of that cartoon is about the boy letting the raccoon go live in the forest because keeping a wild animal as pet is bad
So many petcels will never accept this because "le cute"
Also did they ever manage to kill them all?
We call 'em 'trash pandas'; even named a baseball team after them

>there are Serbians on fucking Wauf
Also what's that raccoon saying?
They are filthy vermins.
that didn’t stop us from domesticating cats.
My dad knew someone who found one in his garden (this is the UK lol)
Presumably someone else unrelated was keeping it as a pet and it escaped
>watches gotg3 once
OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!
clearly we need to introduce coyotes to eat the raccoons and cause unknown problems in the future
And who controls the coyotes then
Just go up the food chain until you loop back around and have mice scaring the elephants away
Dogs have rabies too
ranchers
just introduce gorillas and they will deal with the coyotes, then when winter comes the gorillas will die of cold and the cycle will be restored
I'm sure I heard that in some Simpson's episode
...BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY
SHE SWALLOWED THE FLY!
Acme
rabies
I want to own one, but I don't live in the US. How do you get one? Can I ask a relative there to send one?
Befriend some human traffickers and ask them to put some racoons in the shipping container along side the whores
sounds like a fun journey for all involved
you never heard of what happened to japan when they tried having the american racoon as pets?
enlighten me

I wonder what do tanukis feel about their North American "cousins"

I can't find it, that's why I ask.
Isn't a tanuki bigger than a raccoon? Why dont they just eat them
Probably the same way japanese feel about """asian""" Americans

since there's still thousands of them I'm gonna say, no.
they're little assholes that get into literally everything with their little hands
This anon is correct They are little assholes and they have opposable thumbs. Imagine a cat who can open jars and boxes.
It’s closer to a dog
So imagine a husky with hands and the appetite of a lab
They can be mean fuckers
