It makes sense to me. I've relocated a few raccoons that ended up in cages meant for something much smaller. They get extremely irate and understandably so.

It makes sense to me. I've relocated a few raccoons that ended up in cages meant for something much smaller. They get extremely irate and understandably so. I was lucky in that they were not rabid but I took a big chance moving them. One bent the cage open as I was carrying him. If he was rabid he would have attacked me. I get a lot of raccoons here as I am in a choke-point that joins wilderness to rural residential. If they can be easily run off I leave them alone. If they are aggressive I have to put them down as they are likely infected and will infect any humans or animals that accidentally corner them. They are significantly stronger than they appear and would eviscerate a child or someones pets if they are aggressive.
