If they are so happy why won't they breed in captivity?

zoux posted:I can 100% guarantee the domestication of raccoons and bears will be beneficial for mankind.  The Alabama congressional delegation gave the Coolidges a raccoon for Thanksgiving, intending them to eat it, but Grace took to it instead and kept it as a pet for a few years. It was eventually donated to the Washington Zoo because it kept clawing up people's stockings.

McDowell posted:We are actually driving all the other great apes into extinction. First, I'm unsure whether you've seen many feral dogs in regions still dependent upon sustinance agriculture. Dogs are not great sources of protein; their meat often contains lethal pathogens, like worms. Fat dogs are a relatively recent invention of agriculture; as they should be. Now which is more likely to apply evolutionary pressure upon an animal with great olfactory senses: associating the smell of humans and injury, and thus ending predation, or associating humans with....food? Why would a human give an animal food that the human could eat? What, did dogs just live off human feces? As far as I'm aware, the agricultural methods which took hold had enhanced production when individuals shat in the fields. So why would you let this mangry mut take your future calories? Dogs truly are a poor source of calories during sustinance agriculture. Ice age was relatively recent, and took several millenia to reach glacial maximum in approximately 20,000 BCE. During Glacial maximum, the bi-polar cycle was disrupted and led to the emergence of a stable, 'wet' saharan land route to the Eurasian and Asian continents. Yes, mega-fauna went extinct in part through human hunts. Domestication lies within breeding a disruption into the process of oxidative phosphorylation - a process whicg lowers calorie use during periods of perceived threat, influenced by hormone production.

I'd like to have a mini giraffe, about the size of a donkey as a pet. He'd crane his neck to eat from a low-hanging orchard and we'd spend afternoons lazily reconnoitering my yard.

Like, donkey-size body and so only about ten-fifteen feet tall total, or like, the whole animal is five feet tall?

MariusLecter posted:Just as well, raccoon meat is lousy with parasites. Seriously, raccoons are vermin. When they're hungry enough they'll break into homes and attack pets and people with their disease-needle teeth. If you managed to rear one from birth then good for you, I guess. Back home I've heard stories of one killing a doberman and then biting the arm of a lady so badly that she needed surgery to extract the teeth. If your local zoo managed to snare a few of them, watch them there. gently caress Raccoons would be my point, if I had to sum it up.

The recent raccoon documentary that hit theaters a week ago should be all the proof anybody needs that raccoons are very dangerous.

Raccoon meat's juicy and delicious you savages. But if your roommate leaves melon rinds out on the porch, five raccoons will descend from the trees and throwing a wooden birdhouse at one of their backs will not deter even one of them; they will just calmly look at you and wait for you to leave

Horses are really the worst. They're enormous, incredibly strong, and scared of loving everything. They will murder you by accident because something 1/1000th their size moved too quickly in their peripheral vision.

SedanChair said it was tasty, and SedanChair was complaining about the varmints, so I offered the natural solution. That is not to prejudge the wisdom of eating raccoon.

The latter, but maybe a bit larger so that his head is about the same height as mine so I can more easily serenade him.

Somehow despite living a city I have raccoons in my neighborhood. At night they call to each other in these horrible gurgling voices, and when they're on the ground they move in an awkward shamble not unlike the albino super-gorillas from the film Congo. It is the creepiest loving thing

I do some environmental monitoring in wetland sites and there's nothing creepier than finding raccoon tracks in the mind. Their evil little almost human hands. Plus they try to eat all the endangered birds.

It is the creepiest loving thing not nearly as bad as possums. if you scare a possum it shits itself as a defense mechanism. i've been outside, smoking a cig, at night, before, and startled a possum then the drat thing released like two kilos of poo poo and my porch smelled like poo poo for a month. they also have glands or something that spray poo poo-smelling pheremones, to ward off predators. satan hellfuck possums
