We have raccoons and opossums running along the edge of the woods here.
They don't bother us, we don't bother them. I still leave some food out

Think I've heard that about 5 times now.
Get ready for the PETA fans to call you an eco-terrorist.
Isn't that what usually comes next?
My grandma or aunt used to tell stories about raccoon hands, and how
they examine their food before eating.
Real gentlerats, I guess.

Raccoons are very attractive critters if they're not causing trouble.
They are quite handsome, with thick, luxurious fur. I wouldn't handfeed
our wild ones, but I have been "close" to pet raccoons, and find them
more likeable, intelligent, and nicer than, say, your average
conservative Republican.
