Better for Them

I happen to really like raccoons. My relationship with them started decades back when their visits helped my mother make it through chemotherapy. I have not regularly interacted with the cute little mammals since then but still find them precious. I watch lots of raccoon videos, and it seems like they really want to be domesticated. I read that in the wild, raccoons only live one and a half to three years. In "captivity", the little fellas live up to the age of twenty. Maybe, we can convince our political class to permit folks to keep coons as pets more broadly and hopefully nationwide. I think they would like it and know many animal lovers would.
