Raccoons as "Pets"? Yeah, Right!

I trust this will serve as fair warning for people thinking that a pet raccoon would be a real treat:

Leave wild ones where they belong... and don't feed them "out there" where they live. Many an unhappy hunter or rural family has returned to their abode to find the shingles and roof of their cabin or home ripped to shreds and a "tamed-but-wild" raccoon inside, looking for all the goodies that he knows reside in there because of the people who had been feeding him stuff...
