So I live in one of the barely-still-gray areas from 2020. I.e. we're obviously colonized by now. And the neighbors now refuse to clean up the garage because they might disturb the gworing family of raccoons living within. And we obviously can't force them to do anything.

Is it because they claim they don’t own them? I assumed ownership of various invasive species like raccoons was banned EU-wide.

The raccoons aren't pets, if that's what you're asking, they moved into a disorderly garage out of their own volition. As to why the neighbors fail to clean up now, I don't really know. There's some contrived argumentation, but I think they simply don't want to.
