I didn’t realize raccoons were so vicious. We had a few as pets growing up, but they moved on by the time they were adults. They appeared to be docile.
Several growl and hiss at each other outside my window at night. They love our birdfeeders. How they can bend a shepherds hook to the ground is beyond me. Unfortunately my beloved 12 year old cat ‘disappeared’ when the raccoons first made the scene.
Raccoons are evil. A fox will come to the coop and steal one. Bad fox. The raccoon kills them all and may or may not take one.
