    I think the main issue is how destructive they get in adolescence. Like a switch flips in their head and they start destroying shit and being aggressive.

      It sounds like there’s a possibility that living alongside humans is selecting against that though.

      I’m sure that with a little help from my friend selective breeding we could turbo charge this naturally occurring process to produce lovable cuddly furry raccoon pets that I could call friends.

          I don’t really give a shit how we get pet raccoons as long as I get a cuddly mischievous pet raccoon. Congrats, you’re in charge of the project. Now go science me up a best friend.
