I propose that instead of Trash Pandas, we should call raccoons Grabby Cats.

And just like a mobster, he went for the knee caps. Savage

I used to do that with my cat all the time, she loved it!

After visiting a rescue in OK, I need to have raccoons and skunks!! They are so loving & cuddly. Skunks w/out the smelly bits of course!!!

"Do you think this is a game" - fat trash panda probably
Sallylady
That is one of the most adorable things i've have ever seen. I want fat fluffy raccoon.

Got bit on the toe, they like to bite feet, teeth are crazy sharp came close to needing stiches.

https://youtu.be/4lkPFdyyMMk Just so ya know. They like to clean stuff. Random stuff.
Jabberwotchi
They play very rough with a lot of biting. Even when they're being nice they can draw blood accidentally

Why have we not fully domesticated these little guys yet?
LrrrRulerofThePlanetOmicronPerseiVIII
They don’t make great pets, apparently
TheStaffmaster
they are about as intelligent as a monkey, but have the disposition of a constipated schnauzer on crack when they go into heat.
mostinspired
They are really smart, have hands, and unlimited free time.
Xaldyn
Because they don't fill a niche that we need filled.
TheStaffmaster
Trash cans are a niche and they routinely fill them...with themselves...by removing the previous contents all over your lawn.
GrimdogX
Cause their intelligent enough to undomesticate themselves, they also have hands and can be destructive.
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
They're*
PaulImpola
Bingo! They don’t think being domesticated is a good enough deal for them. Plus it’s more fun to steal our shit all the time.

Quote: “Raccoons are notorious biters. They will bite family members, family pets, and visitors and their pets.”
sockshoesockshoe
This says nothing about why we haven't domesticated them. Just explains they don't make good pets because they're not domesticated.
BalrogDestroyer
Too many ads. Couldn't read.

Basically, unless you are smarter than they are and can devote your life to its care, don't bother.

That was very informative, I was wondering about that, thanks

"human guardians must be prepared to take on a 10 to 15 year commitment to an animal that often requires 24/7 supervision" aaand, I'm out

Aww man, the link didn’t work for me!

That just explains why they aren't currently viable pets not why we haven't domesticated them to make them viable pets.
CptFlappy
Prior to domestication dogs were also pretty shit pets by today's standards
TheStaffmaster
Dogs didn't start as "pets." Human and Canine hunting techniques are surprisingly complimentary. (1/2)
TheStaffmaster
(2/2) What probably started as one or the other trying to steal a kill, quickly turned to the realization that teamwork was more effective.
