Nah, pet owners are bad at pet maintenance and we will be inundated by raccoon poop everywhere that the owners were "going to pick up on our way back". Besides, the relationship people have with animals is idiotic. In San Francisco, they wanted kids to stop playing in Golden Gate Park because a coyote bit a child. Fortunately, saner minds prevailed and the animal was destroyed.
- repeekad 2y ago“Going to pick it up on the way back” has nothing to do with the pet species and only to do with a bad owner, let’s also not forget even human waste has a tendency to be left on the sidewalk in SF.. Other than rabies (which I assume domesticated vet visits solves), I’ve never once heard of raccoons being violent or any reason to be scared of them

- quesera 2y agoAll omnivores are vicious. It's kind of an evolutionary necessity.
