holy fuck @ the conundrum SUPER Animal Rights activists now face! hahah
edit;
And in all fairness, that raccoon is going to come back with friends. THey are fucking mean, and smart as hell. They are also very strong, and durable. I know its going to be split into the two camps, pro-raccoon and indifferent-raccoon, but I hope people only speak that have had confrontations with these beasts. I ran into one in santa monica, was out at night biking. I turn a corner and run into a pack of them. So, being on my bike, I haunch the bike on its back wheel, to make like a barrier and start rolling it towards the raccoons. The fucking leader, STANDS UP. The rest follow, and they don't budge. They were about thigh high. Fuckers made me back down.
He better keep a look out, all im saying. He/She is going to be heated as hell that they got tossed down some stairs. That dog should not be outside for the next, lifetime, alone.
