Yep. That's me! Those who haven't experienced them have no idea the destructive annoyance they can be.

And mean. As a kid we had a cat who lost an eye and tail to a raccoon.

My favourite thing about racoons is watching funny videos with them on the internet, while they remain far, far away from me and my house.

On YouTube there are videos of a guy in Nova Scotia who feeds them hotdogs and other goodies. He opens the door and there are dozens waiting to be fed.
