Maybe it has been living in the Christmas tree for two weeks. It was in the kitchen getting a snack when they removed the tree from the house.
Kind of unusual to see a racoon attack someone inside their house. Happens once in a coon’s age, I guess.
Shame on you.
“He followed me home can I keep him?”
Shame on me.
It’s a blessing that the raccoon wasn’t rabid but seems odd that a baby in its bed would be able to invite an attack.
Baby smelled of food?
I had to kill a raccoon inside my home as it became aggressive when tried to shoo it out the door.
Raccoons can inflict a lot of damage with teeth and claws.
If you see a varmint within populated city limits - shoot it dead.
They got these adorable opposable thumbs see…

Not where I’m from.l and, surprisingly, we have no coyote or other varmit problems. For less enlightened leftist parts of America, shoot, shovel and forget.
I still carry the scar tween thumb and index fanger
My secretary was mad at me for killing the coon
“But they’re so cute”
Can I say secretary ?
I had about half a dozen run into my neighbor’s house and proceed to attack her two dogs.
Took me and her Son in law to run them out of there. Had a pellet gun jam on me(could very well have been operator error, I was 15ish) so I started stabbing at one of them and smashing it with the Stock.
These bastards are bold around here because if you call an exterminator, they trap them and release them at the trail which is literally a fence away.
(Loony bin San Jose CA...)
That’d be a lot of shooting. Raccoons are everywhere, in my town.
