Back in the ‘80s when I didn’t know any better, I nursed a pair of raccoon pups til they were eating solids. When I contacted the state to ask about rehabbers, they showed up and said I could be arrested. I was 13 years old.

Racoons get dangerous. When they reach puberty age they tend to get very mean towards humans
