I can tell you, it is disheartening to hear how raccoons are portrayed by the media. I don't need to add to myth and slander of how raccoons are "good-for-nothing leeches" extorting the more hard working species, such as squirrels, or beluga whales.
I came across a great
feel good news story about a raccoon that can sleep a little easier tonight, it isn't often that you hear about raccoons surviving an encounter with society!
