Raised a couple when I was a kid, (illegally,) that were abandoned in our attic by their mother, would not recommend it. They were very cute but when they grow up it's very common for them to suddenly and violently turn on their owners. We heard a lot of stories and eventually released them into the wild before this could happen. They are wild animals, after all.
I can’t imagine they would make good pets, but one can dream.
I totally understand, they are cute as hell! Maybe one day we will domesticate raccoons.
This is what we should be working on instead of conquering space.
We could breed space-faring raccoons and kill two birds, (it worked in Guardians of the Galaxy!) XD
I fully support this initiative.
I feel like it would've happened some time in the last ~15,000 years if it was going to happen, but maybe humans just didn't get around to it.
They want freedom and are willing to fight for it. Lovely animals.
