When the hell were raccoons ever considered a normal enough food to send one as a gift, let alone to the president? I feel like that was meant as some sort of insult

"One of the things we ask people to do is find a stick or a broom handle and gently touch the animal. Any self-respecting raccoon, you wouldn’t even be able to get close enough, but a raccoon with distemper will just go ‘huh’ and lay there"

Poking a wild animal with a stick sounds like pretty solid advice, thanks Toronto wildlife center

Outside of New Orleans there is a swamp boat tour you can take where they throw marshmallows at wildlife. The local raccoons know this and line up to get their sugar fix when they hear the boats and it's the cutest thing :kimchi:

Cheer up, guys! Here's a nice article about getting wild raccoons to take medicines to stop the spread of disease. :)

Phone posting, so my formatting is probably garbage. But that's how the raccoons prefer it!

Although I do wonder why they're encouraging people to feed wildlife, as well. It seems like a good way to get animals to try and get into city limits, like when Banff had that bear/moose problem.

Someone has to report them, and the police have to give a poo poo. This is New Orleans we're talking about.

And I don't know if it's actually illegal, and if so what the fine is. It may well be less than the take from a tour, in which case both the company and the police have a viable business model. And again, this is NO we're talking about.

It's privately owned and managed land, not tossing food to the bears at yellowstone. The place rehabs animals and releases them too. Calm the gently caress down and look at some raccoons.

^^: Oh, that's different. I thought they were out in the forest by themselves, but if they're already being managed by a facility then there's not much point in not feeding them.


Okay, this wouldn't be half as funny to me if these weren't all from Toronto. Wily little scamps.

If we ever get Olympics (which i really hope we don't) if the mascot isn't a Racoon this city has been failed.

I worked in a place where there was a Coffee Time closer than a tims. It was like a 10 minute walk vs a 2 minute walk. Never again. Never ever again. I was happy when I worked downtown and there was a second cup so close.
