Don't. Raccoons always go for the 3 S's. Your Snacks, your Socks, and your Social Security Number. None are safe. Though cute, raccoons do not recognize the rule of law.

Shit, I thought it was snacks, snitches, and social security numbers.
i know my tanuki lore. it's snakes, scrotes, and social security numbers.
Oh y'all must not be on the discord, tanuki's are targeting crypto wallet addresses now.
are they still doing the inflatable scrotes? i got this overly proud statue. kinda like these:
Oh absolutely. However, under no circumstances are you to follow the QR codes that are tattooed on them.
please tell me it at least goes to a respectable secondhand pony auction website

I don't know how to break this to you....
you won't fool me. i was there when the old goatse was pierced
wait that's a QR code? I got it tattooed on my back! they told me it meant Strong Like Dragon
That's why they were following you to the beach! Just keep a shirt on, you'll be ok.
Not a possum, so the sheet cake is safe.
Huge nasty mess that will probably get worse when the wild animal panics, potential flea and other parasite infestation, potential injury to you and/or the animal, rabies...
One that’s out in the daytime is a huge red flag for rabies.
Surprise! Rabies. Someone else said it earlier, but it bears repeating.
While there's maybe an 85% chance of that, the other 15% chance really needs to be considered as well. What if it's not rabies and by opening the door, you get to hang out and become best friends forever? Maybe next week, the raccoon will invite you to its den, introduce you to its family, and fix you a nice meal? Maybe some apple-berry-grasshopper salad. Have you ever considered that?
Truthfully? No. I have not. I now have things to consider about my life. Excuse me...
Maybe she just needs to feed her babies. You're not a heartless baby-killer, are you?
You will lose in a epic fight if it is completely wild. If you keep your distance it will just trash your house. Good luck we are all hoping for follow up pictures if you do.
Someone once had the same thought about letting a dog hang out by a fire. I say do it.
She just wants to play some nintendo!
Grey scale finger bandit!
